The reasons behind choosing our actors
Sammie Magee and Sam Maddocks were chosen to play the main characters in Pinhole Productions' film because the production company was already familiar with their acting strengths and weaknesses, and both have experience with acting through drama courses. Additionally, Sammie and Sam already knew each other personally, so they would be comfortable interacting intimately on screen. Their fashion sense and ability to appear like typical teenagers also made them good fits for the roles.

The document discusses key elements of the teaser trailer for the film "Yes Man" including its duration of 1 minute 30 seconds to 1 minute 50 seconds. It also discusses the film's unique selling point of using a famous actor, Jim Carrey, to attract viewers. For their own teaser trailer, the document recommends associating the film with other popular directors. The teaser trailer should also make the genre of comedy clear through humorous parts and establish the main characters.
Production pitch
Working Title is interested in producing the film because of the company's success with comedy films like Hot Fuzz and Love Actually. Their research shows that the target age bracket for this comedy film is 15-19 year olds, who will be able to relate to the bullying experiences depicted. The film will follow the transformation of an unpopular boy named Gibby as he develops social skills and popularity at school, culminating in him getting the girl he likes. The trailer will start with an establishing shot of Gibby's house and voiceover describing who he is not, then show him waking up to signal his desire for change. Key scenes to be shown include Gibby trying on different outfits for approval and experiencing cringe-worthy moments
Actor ideas
Faisa may act as the protagonist since she has wanted to participate and is a group member who will always be present. While initially not wanting group members to act, problems finding reliable actors who can portray the genre have occurred. Faisa is comedic and suitable for a teen comedy set in London's multicultural Camden area.
Aminatta will play the "smart" character since she has acted before and the group knows she is willing to commit time to help film.
Jordan will play an obsessed gamer since he actually enjoys gaming and has props, and has experience in school productions where he can act well.
Ciaren will play a witty yet socially awkward character based on his
Production pitch
The production pitch proposes a comedy film trailer that will showcase the transformation of an unpopular teenage boy. The trailer will start with voiceover describing the boy's stereotypical home life while showing his morning routine. Scenes will then depict him being bullied and struggling to get the attention of a girl he likes. His journey will include befriending three classmates who help him become more popular by the end, though he faces a setback when the girl ignores him mid-transformation. The overall plan is to transform the boy into a confident, fashionable teen who gains social acceptance.

Question 1
The document discusses the development of characters and conventions used in the opening sequence and supplementary materials for a school television program called "Class of Plenty".

The group created a production company called 'JJJ Media' because each of their names start with J. They chose a clapperboard logo because it is associated with film and immediately conveys what they do.

Question 2

They aimed the film at a younger audience and used conventions of the genre like a breakup and struggle to get over it. However, they put a twist on conventions by having the male character be the one struggling after a breakup rather than the female. They used research on mise-en-scene, costumes, settings and music to match realistic romantic comedies. Audience feedback helped them name the film and shape it to interests. They used Premier Pro and Photoshop software in production and promotion.

- 2. WHY HAVE WE CHOSEN THIS TITLE? • We as a group decided on the name ‘No Means Yes’ as it links to the film we are basing our teaser around staring ‘Jim Carey’ in ‘Yes Man’. • Not only this but it also fits with the teaser trailer we are creating and goes with the story line.
- 3. WHAT IS OUR FILM ABOUT? Our teaser trailer is based around the film ‘Yes Man’ and therefore has a similar story line, however it has a student lifestyle appeal to it. The story line is a male student in his college years that is reluctant to try new things and is relatively academic. All of his friends are always trying to get him to come out to parties etc, and he always says no. However, after he becomes interested in a popular girl in the same year as him, his lifestyle changes to saying YES to a lot of things that will involve trying to impress her. Hense the genre ‘Comedy’.
- 4. WHO ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND WHAT ARE THEIR CHARACTERISTICS? In our teaser trailer Harry will be acting as the male student (academic student) called ‘Sam Davis’, his characteristics vary throughout, as at the beginning he is relatively quite and negative towards doing new fun things. However after becoming interested in the popular girl his characteristics change to more outgoing and fun. Playing the ‘popular’ girl called ‘Jodie Hudson’ will be Jess and her characteristics are stuck up around her friends to impress them, however deep down she is a nice person. Emma will be acting as one of Harry’s close friends called ‘Gemma Montez’ who constantly tries to get him to come out with her and other friends. Her characteristics are funny, out going and nice.
- 5. INFLUENCES? As mentioned before our main film we are going to base ours around is ‘Yes Man’ starring ‘Jim Carrey’ this film is the base of our whole idea and comedy concept. Fred has also influenced us as the clothing he wears is like the clothing we are going to use in our trailer.
- 6. MARKETING The scale of of film is a Hollywood blockbuster. This is the campaign for ‘Yes Man’, this is a viral video and attracts the media, almost like a sneak peak before the film is released. For our teaser trailer we would follow this idea by also making a viral video of some type of stunt or funny scene to release before the trailer to again, attract the media. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw9OkhZctQI We would also use billboards as they are effective at getting the film well known and making and audience before the film comes out.
- 7. TARGET AUDIENCE Our target audience for out teaser trailer is targeted at roughly the same age as our initial ideas from ‘Yes Man’. However it’s a little different as it is targeted more at the college aged students rather than a wider ranged age group.
