Pixelate Entertainment Pitch

Laura, Robyn, Lauren and Ben

Our hybrid genre of teen film

- Teen romance/coming of age film

- The audience can relate to the issues that are presented

- Would suit our target audience of girls aged 15-16

- We are interested in this genre of film

Real media research - The teen dramas we researched comprised of Juno, Perks of being a wallflower, mean girls and legally blonde.

-These teen films reiterated the idea that we wanted to create a 'coming of age' film. We hope to utilise both stereotypes and countertypes as we feel the combination will create a contrast to the misconceptions regarding teen lifestyle.

- One convention that is important to use is a pop/rock soundtrack; as it will appeal to a wider target audience. Like Juno and Perks we will create an 'underdog' character, which see's them struggle through adolescent life.

-We were inspired by mise-en-scene to set our teen drama in a high school; as this is an easy way of showing different groups of people e.g. popular, geeks, rebels, etc.

-POV shots will be constructed in our teen film- they help the audience to see things from that characters perspective.

Target audience research

Individual synopsis - Laura- I would like the film to be a ‘coming of age’ film as it is relatable to our audience

- Pop/rock music would be used in the background as teenage girls are interested in this genre of music

- Set in a school; relatable to our audience

- Main character is girl who is different from others and is doesn’t fit in to any particular group within the school

- No dialogue or voiceovers will be used

Individual synopsis - Lauren- Will have no narrative or voice over, as I hope to create a sense of characterisation throughout the title sequences, redolent of Juno.

- The opening scene will see a girl joining a new school; she is out casted from society and feels trapped and isolated from everyone else.

- The film will see her play with the transition from teen to adulthood in a comedic yet sensitive manner.

-I hope the film will address current social issues that face many adolescents, creating a sense of verisimilitude.

Individual synopsis - Robyn

Individual synopsis - Ben- The genre of drama

- No dialogue; as the less words used, the more people have to think of what’s going on

- Beginning scene to be in a bedroom or a character walking down the street

- The music played will be quite chilled, meaningful and somewhat depressing

- At the end of the opening sequence something will happen that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats

- Editing techniques; make the appearance and presentation look professional

- Use different camera shots because a variety will be much more effective

Final synopsis- Coming of age film; targeted at girls aged 15-16

- Main character will be a social out cast within a new school

- Will start with her getting ready in her bedroom and finish with her reading in a classroom; highlighting her isolation

- Will use pop/rock music as this was the genre that was most popular with our target audience.

- Doesn’t follow the lives of the ‘popular’ girls however will look at the journey of a counter typical character.
