For this part of our task, we had to decide on a rough plan for what our film introduction would be like. After a discussion amongst our group and contemplating which genre of film would be best to work with, we all favoured the hybrid of a 'Rom-com'. We decided that the age of our target audience would be teenagers who are in college or who have recently left - so preferably 16-19 year olds. We decided that this would be this best age range to work with as they would appreciate the humour more as they could relate back to their college experiences. We thought about what 'narratives' we could use in our 2 minute opening to our film, we found that we could use two of the three narratives, 'Levi Strauss' theory of Binary Opposition' as in the opening the audience will see a classic 'Nerd' being bullied by the 'Popular' people. We thought about the idea of 'Nerd' being our main character who is in love with one of the popular girls in his college, a typical high school rom-com. However the audience should be in a position to favour the 'Nerd' because we are seeing everything from his point of view. We could also set up some Enigma codes by making his life seem normal and then putting some action into it. We are going to make our film in the present time and it's just before the summer holidays.
The group I am working in is with Jess Wild and Sam Yapp.
