We began planning our film piece and came up with some great ideas, however we all settled on one which i am very hopeful about. Using research we had done previously we began drafting an opening, characters profiles and the story line for the film in preperation for pitching our piece to the institutions.
Our idea is based on the classic teen comedy: the main characters are a popular boy, apopular girl and a geeky girl and the events in the film revolve around slightly slapstickhumour but come to a moral at the end of the film, which is something we nboticed from both British and American Teen Comedies. We decided to stick to conventional character types as teens can both relate to them and they have been popular in previous films. We didn't have a lot of British teen comedies to base our piece on so we primarily based our story line on popular American teen comedies. We noticed that a lot of British teen comedies were set in boarding schools, whereas most American teen comedies are set in highschool, by setting our piece in a college we feel the film will relate to the "everyday" teenager more than other British teen comedies. We are still going to keep the film British by incorporating everyday British life into the film.
In Monday's lesson we will be drafting up a script for our opening, finishing character backgrounds and our storyboard. I feel this will be very straight forward as we worked well and efficiently together on our preliminary task and in the other aspects we have drafted for this piece.
