Planning: Order of Title Credits



You will have to ignore the dates (it is necessary for dates to be included using this software) however the order is what we decided on.

Planning: Fonts Shortlist

Here is our shortlist of fonts:


Planning: Institutions and Studios

We believe the type of film that we are creating would be suitable to be produced and distributed by Disney Channel. Our reasons for this are because they have already produced and distributed similar films. For example, High School Musical (where two people from totally different social circles collide in something even more different) and Lemonade Mouth (where a group of very different people come together and form a friendship and a band). These two films were both musicals so we may consider reflecting ideas of a musical in our opening - in order to fit what is typical of the type of movie and the production company.



Planning: Initial Ideas

Sub-Genre
We will be creating a High School Drama.

Plot
The main plot idea is where a very popular female character (cheerleader possibly?) helps out a, new, very unpopular male (geek possibly?) and the popular character's friends challenge her on why she would help out someone who is unpopular. As fate would like to have it, they keep bumping into each other and spending more and more time with each other. They then end up falling in love.

Social Groups/ Character Types

  • Geeks
  • Rich/ Popular Kids
  • Skaters
  • Music and Drama Students
