My tagline is: What happens in college stays in college.
Length: 10-15 minutes
Jack: Jack is a teenage boy who is a little dumb and does stupid things all the time, he thinks
he is the class clown and tries to do things in order to impress others.
Sam: Sam is the teenage boy who is new to the college and doesn’t know anyone there and
is immediately portrayed as an outcast until he meets Jack, Brad and Chris. He is an
intelligent person but is also at the same time extremely stupid.
Brad: Brad is similar to Jack as he does silly things all the time but he is different to Jack as
he is usually the one getting punished for these things while jack is more discrete and gets
away with it.

Style and form
The genre of this short filmis comedy as it is a comedic representation of what school life is
like for teenagers but is slightly exaggerated as it won’t be a completely accurate
representation of what school life is.
The style of the film is going to be basic with the mise en scene consisting of items that you
would find in a school, the sound is going to be similar to that of a school with sounds such
as the sound of all the people in the school and school bells. The short film is going to
consist of a lot of dialogue between the main 4 characters in the film.
Target audience
For my second idea my target audience will be people who are in there late teenage years
and early twenties as the filmwill be intended for more mature audiences due to the
humour that is in the short film. With the short film containing humour that could be
inappropriate for younger audiences and in order to keep my audience happy I have to aim
it at an older audience in order to keep them happy.
I also want the target audience to be people our age because I feel like my idea would
appeal to people our age and they are a lot more likely to find it entertaining than older
people who may not be able to relate to my idea.
Marketplace
The market place for my short film would be YouTube as it is a platform that a lot of people
use and it doesn’t cost money to upload videos to it and you don’t have to pay money to
watch videos on the site. However with putting my short film on YouTube I would need to
specify that the filmis targeted for more mature audiences (Make it age restricted) so that
the right people watch this filmand it isn’t given to people who shouldn’t be watching it.
I will also put my short filmon short film websites as the people who go onto these sites will
be people interested in short films and I can possibly receive feedback and criticism from
these people and then improve my film.
