Planning: Title Order

This is a rough idea designed to show how we want the titles too look - regardless of the order (which I made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6).

Planning: Opening Plan

For our opening we plan to show a popular character bumping into an unpopular character and her social group confronting her about it.

We will show different social groups and the divisions between them - as do many High School dramas.

We may also have a scene where the popular character is writing in her diary (with a voiceover) with here stating how she wants to break away from her social group and break the restrictions of certain stereotypes.

Planning: Sound Editing Activity

We used sounds loops from Garageband for the strings sections and the ambient sound at the beginning. We also used some foley sounds (which were also made available as loops in Garageband) for the sounds of the punches and for the door closing at the end. We also went out and recorded some sound from outside to get sound to reflect the atmosphere of a city road. We also recorded some dialogue for a section where there was some speech.

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
