HI FRIENDS...
i had to write the script on here as my microsoft word will not workkkkkkkkkk. hence soz.
The opening scene of our opening movie sequence will start off with the title of the movie. However this we have not yet decided and we will need to sit down at a later point after filming our clip and decide this with one another based on the footage that we have shot. As the film is based on teen movies and we have done an extensive amount of reaserch on opening sequences and teen movies themselves. We have all done our own individual reaserch over the christmas holidays and this has contributed to each of our reaserch making us all have the best chance for getting the best marks for our reaserch part of the courswork. Throught the lesson today myself and callum wrote down all of the things which we need to do to compleate our allocated tasks on time. Between us in the lesson we produced a call sheet and a rough plan of action of all of the things we needed to do. We then allocated certain tasks to individual people in our group so that the work load would be equal and we had a better chance of completing all of our tasks on time.
As our script is about teenagers and their lifestyle's at university we will have to show all aspects of their lifestyles. for example we need to give people an insight into the lives of the youth of today but not percive it or show it in a negative way. We need to show the veiwers of our clips that not all teenagers are alcohol sex craving youngsters and that some have a sensible head on their shoulders. As young people of our generation (90's) have such a bad reputation with the press and other media aspects we thought that it would be a good idea if we projected and showed the good qualities of youngsters as well as their party loving life styles. This way people will get an insight into our lives rarther than just believing things that we are percieved to be in the media.
The script
The scene will take place in a small room. this will be the room that all of the people living in flat B6a use as their living room. The basic line of the story goes that one of the charicters Russel decides to invite a few girls back to the appartment for a drink. However when the girls realise that he takes drugs and this may rub off negitivly on them they decide to leave the party, untill a few of their other friends from university show up. As Maranda and Kadance enter the room with their male friends and a few others Russel decides not to take the drugs and puts them to one side so that he can just enjoy a normal night of casual drinking with his friends. However as the people that just entered the flat with Maranda and Kadence did not know that they were drugs of a higher class they decided to drop a few into one of the girls drinks to try and get her to sleep as she was being such a pain. However they did not realise that this may cause potential problems. As the night goes on events happen and we want to capture the good and bad things that these Teens will do. We want to show their wild side but also their sensible and sensative sides. So we are planning to film them being wild then sensible. The story line will inculde no dialouge as of such and positioning of charicters will be decided on the day so that the 'party scene' looks authentic and real. But none the less we will still use all of the neccesary camera shots and editing skills to achieve the highest possible grade we are capable of.
to capture each individual charicters emotions and feelings at the certian highs and lows of the party we have decided to freeze frame and eddit the shot to introduce each individual charicter to the viewers. We believe that this will be a posative way of showing everyone the good and bad signs to the youths of today. we got most of our ideas and insperation from the things we looked at in our reaserch. For example skins, misfits, this is england 86, kidult hood and adult hood. but the main insperation came from a clip what we were given to analyse for our other media task. the clip was from holyoaks later a few years ago and details and shows evereything we are aiming to achive but from a different angle . so we are using this as a guide to produce our work for this task.
Remember that this is just the opening couple of minutes of the film. If I were you, I would start off with something like a police interview (almost like the beginning of The Usual Suspects) - very low key, with the titles coming in over what would be effectively a monologue, setting the scene. You could then jump back to the scene at the party. I would try to do this in a really stylised manner - lots of jump-cuts and montage editing, to get the idea. You need to remember that this is just the opening - you're not telling the whole story - so you just need to set the scene.
