This is a presentation explaining my film idea called 'Fangs in Love'. It is a fantasy romance film about a teenage girl battling with her dark secret she can no longer keep from her boyfriend.
3. FANGS IN LOVE
Two teenagers are shown in love (a boy called Oscar and girl called
Fern). At the end of the opening scene to the film she reveals to him
that she is a vampire. Then dramatic/tense/emotional love music
comes on along with the main titles.
Genre= fantasy romance
BBFC= 15
Audience= aged 15-21 (mainly aimed at girls but also couples)
5. LOCATION
School, house, outside (walking), on swings in a park (holding
hands), laying on the grass on a hill
6. PLOT OF OPENING
The film opens with a close up shot, zooms out very slowly to reveal… the
girl and boy sitting on swings facing each other (laughing/talking) though
little dialogue can actually be heard. This is in (Black and white). After
about 5-10 seconds a narrator voice starts speaking which is the girl in
the film. {voice sounds emotional and hesitant, almost like she is
speaking to a therapist.}
“This is Oscar…that one boy every girl dreams they would meet. To me,
just perfect in every way. I liked him so much, I just didn’t know how to
him. My life felt worthless without him but I could not bear to live with
a large secret buried within me.”
Opening continues to show shots of them being happy and in love
together. Titles are incorporated.
7. PLOT CONTINUED
When she turns to the age of 18 (in two weeks) she will become a full
vampire. She will grow fangs, become sensitive to sunlight and only
feed on human and animal blood.
Her fangs start to grow through as she is looking in the mirror in
school toilets (looks in the mirror, is shocked/scared…has no one to
go to for help). After this is when she realises she cant carry on
without Oscar knowing what she is going to turn into because it
could tear their relationship apart. So soon after she explains
everything to him.
At the end of the film, she turns Oscar into a vampire too and they
live happily ever after consuming animal and human blood. (but this
is not known in the opening)

9. GENRE CONVENTIONS: FANTASY ROMANCE

involving magic, supernatural events, make-believe creatures, or
exotic fantasy worlds. They often have an element of magic, myth,
wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary

10. INSTITUTION
I would use Warner Bros. to produce my
film because they have previously produced
romance films and fantasy films. They are a
part of the big 6, therefore very well known
and large, wealthy company.
I would use Summit Entertainment
to distribute my film because they
were the distribution company for
the Twilight Saga which has been
very successful and like my film, is
also a romantic fantasy.
