Unexpected?Pitch Presentation

By Yasmine, Sharnece And Nicola.

Brief

Our task was to produce a 2 minute opening scene for a film which included titles. We was

allowed to choose any genre of our choose, we decided to choose a teen film. We had to make sure we didn’t give to much of the film away and had to make sure there was an enigma

code to keep the audience interested.

Genre - Teen movie.We’ve decided to have the genre of our film based on a teen film.

Why we chose a teen film instead of a horror film.As a group we chose to do a teen film instead of a horror as it was more practical and realistic for us to a teen movie.

As a group we wanted to create a different type of teen movie different from others, we thought by showing a group of different types of girls, but showing that they can still be friends, this gets away from the stereotypical view of only “popular girls can be friends”.

Our StorylineOur storyline that we came up with was showing a group of four girls getting ready to go to school, three of the girls who are the punk who is known as Lauren, nerd who is known as Unis and the ghetto girl who is known Shaniqua is getting ready in their own surrounding, whilst the slut is in bed with her boyfriend. Whilst getting ready and in bed they all receive the same text message from the same boy who attends the same school as them, the text message he sends reads "I've been thinking and I've come to a decision, I've realized I love you and want to be with you" While the slut's in bed with her boyfriend she leans over to read the text, her boyfriend then leans over as well to try and read the message, Courtney who is the slut then drops her phone and rushes out of bed to get ready, her boyfriend is then left in bed looking angry, she then picks up her keys and leaves to meet the rest of her friends, forgetting her phone on the floor, this is our enigma code for our film weather the sluts boyfriend picks up and read's the message.

Script

Unique selling pointWhat makes our film unique?

Goes against the conventions of a teen film.

Usually there are just one type of girls that are friends for example all the popular girls being friends and leaving the "nerd" out, whereas in our film we've decided to have a mixture of different types of girls.

The reason for this is that we have tried to portray that although each character has a different style, background, attitude and personality they can still get along.

We chose to do this because fitting in at school is a big issue for teenagers.

We feel by doing this it will encourage teenagers to see beyond the appearance and focus on the personality of the person.

Questionnaires

Questionnaire Result’sOur results showed that our target audience mostly expected to see “slut” characters within a teenage film, they mainly expected the location to be within a school and the main storyline was to do with sex and relationships.

Target audience.

Our target audience for our film is for teenagers aged 15 – 18. The reason for this is because our film is based on teenagers and school life.

SoundWe chose this sound clip for the opening of our film, the reason for this is because its more of an upbeat sound and is kind of girly. As a group we thought it reminded us of the “Bratz” film which is also more of a girly film.

We’ve chose this sound clip for when the 4 girls meet up together and start to walking into school, the reason for this is because its also an upbeat sound which shows attitude for then the girls are walking. This would be played at the end of our 2 minute opening,

Some of the tasks we done separately were ..

There was a mixture of tasks that we needed to complete, this varied from choosing our title of our film, choosing an narrative, completing tasks on the blog, putting our powerpoint together and research to do with our film genres.

Difficulties and what we would do different.Difficulties - • As a group we thought coming up with the title for

our film was difficult as we wanted the film title to be catchy and also fit in with our film.
