S.E.L.L productions film treatment- script for our pitch<br />Speaker 1: <br />The film follows Felicity Harrison, a seventeen year old female who has spent her life being pampered, polished and generally living in perfection in an environment where £5,000 is small change. She studies at prestigious, £20,000 a term St. Josephs’ Academy, where she is popular and happy. At an annual polo match sponsored by her father’s hotel company she discovers she is to be the sole heir to his multi-billion pound business however, a few days later, at the summer party her family hosts every July she makes a horrific discovery about her own friends and family. Distraught at the now shattered illusion of her upper-class existence she flees to Scotland to settle herself. Felicity decides to start her life afresh in a small village she once holidayed in away from her dishonest, fake family and friends- soon after she meets a young man who explains how her family has affected the village more than she could have ever realised. As her inheritance is taken away from her on the condition that she must reconcile with her family and friends, Felicity begins to understand the true meaning of independence and concocts a plan on how to put things right.<br />Speaker 2:<br />Our intended audience is females around the age of 12-20. This broad gap, we believe, is conventional for the chick-flick genre; cut movie ‘Mean girls’ held a ‘12’ certificate despite alluding much more to mature themes (sex, alcohol) and is enjoyed by females of a much older age. Similarly, 90s flick ‘Clueless’, starring the late Brittany Murphy, was watched by a much broader age range than first appears. We feel that, as female teenagers, we know the genre well from our own experience of the genre and also from being immersed in the world of young people.<br />Speaker 3:<br />From viewing other chick-flicks, we can recognise the typical pattern of this genre; the female protagonist is unpopular at her school and has a problem which is not uncommon (bullying, peer pressure- for example) and will go through trials and tribulations to overcome this problem. Examples of this include ‘A Cinderella story’, the ‘Lizzie McGuire’ franchise, and ‘Sydney White’.<br />Speaker 4:<br />However we found that some of the more classic chick-flicks deviated from these formula quite drastically; cult chick-flick ‘Mean girls’ is based ultimately on the concept of popularity, as was 1989 dark comedy ‘Heathers’- both revolved around the idea that having it all did not always bring happiness. Other films that showed popular or wealthy characters were ‘Bring it on’ and ‘Clueless’, We noticed that these appealed to a broader age range and also were a lot more successful.<br />Speaker 1:<br />Arguably our film is similar in this respect; not many fifteen year old girls are rich, but we feel this is our films unique selling point- Felicity, our protagonist, has an unfamiliar life, one that doubtless teenage girls will enjoy observing. ’Clueless’ shows the life of an insufferably rich and vain girl with whom the audiences nonetheless sympathise. The audiences’ expectations will therefore be satisfied as our film follows the recent expansion of the chick flick genre, away from the cliché of an unpopular girl struggling with a very typical day-to-day problem.<br />Speaker 2:<br />S.E.L.L. productions intend to giver our film, ‘Nobody’s Perfect’, a certificate of ‘12’ under BBFC guidelines, while our target audience for the film would be older teenagers, having a 15-certificate would unnecessarily restrict the audience.<br />Most chick-flicks revolve around teenage girls, and the relationships between them, while our film focuses largely on Felicity Harrison as an individual- it does include the other themes typical to the genre; identity, independence and growing up. Other conventions include school and family life, status, popularity and lifestyle- all of which our in our film. <br />Speaker 3:<br />We believe the reason our film is successfully tailored to our audience is due to how it runs alongside the genres’ conventions without being clichéd or predictable.<br />Speaker 4:<br />Our film ‘Nobody’s perfect’ begins with showing Felicity’s morning routine, This is similar to other chick-flick films such as ‘Clueless’ and ‘Bratz’ an develops the two most important features of an opening- characterisation and setting.<br />Speaker 1:<br />Felicity is shown waking up and getting ready for school, the time it takes her to prepare- as well as the amount of time she spends in the mirror- emphasises her characters’ superficial and vain attitude and a brief conversation with her sister over breakfast reveals a little about Felicity’s family life and situation. Other details about her friends and personality are told via a voice-over.<br />Speaker 2:<br />The reason we decided to use this opening is firstly because it fits with chick-flick conventions and secondly because it is more effective to ‘show’ the character rather than simply telling the audience about your protagonist. We have a voiceover to introduce more implicit details such as the names of her friends and her own situation, but also the display of a morning routine to show the audience her personality and lifestyle. <br />

Our pitch/film treatment

  • 1. S.E.L.L productions film treatment- script for our pitch<br />Speaker 1: <br />The film follows Felicity Harrison, a seventeen year old female who has spent her life being pampered, polished and generally living in perfection in an environment where £5,000 is small change. She studies at prestigious, £20,000 a term St. Josephs’ Academy, where she is popular and happy. At an annual polo match sponsored by her father’s hotel company she discovers she is to be the sole heir to his multi-billion pound business however, a few days later, at the summer party her family hosts every July she makes a horrific discovery about her own friends and family. Distraught at the now shattered illusion of her upper-class existence she flees to Scotland to settle herself. Felicity decides to start her life afresh in a small village she once holidayed in away from her dishonest, fake family and friends- soon after she meets a young man who explains how her family has affected the village more than she could have ever realised. As her inheritance is taken away from her on the condition that she must reconcile with her family and friends, Felicity begins to understand the true meaning of independence and concocts a plan on how to put things right.<br />Speaker 2:<br />Our intended audience is females around the age of 12-20. This broad gap, we believe, is conventional for the chick-flick genre; cut movie ‘Mean girls’ held a ‘12’ certificate despite alluding much more to mature themes (sex, alcohol) and is enjoyed by females of a much older age. Similarly, 90s flick ‘Clueless’, starring the late Brittany Murphy, was watched by a much broader age range than first appears. We feel that, as female teenagers, we know the genre well from our own experience of the genre and also from being immersed in the world of young people.<br />Speaker 3:<br />From viewing other chick-flicks, we can recognise the typical pattern of this genre; the female protagonist is unpopular at her school and has a problem which is not uncommon (bullying, peer pressure- for example) and will go through trials and tribulations to overcome this problem. Examples of this include ‘A Cinderella story’, the ‘Lizzie McGuire’ franchise, and ‘Sydney White’.<br />Speaker 4:<br />However we found that some of the more classic chick-flicks deviated from these formula quite drastically; cult chick-flick ‘Mean girls’ is based ultimately on the concept of popularity, as was 1989 dark comedy ‘Heathers’- both revolved around the idea that having it all did not always bring happiness. Other films that showed popular or wealthy characters were ‘Bring it on’ and ‘Clueless’, We noticed that these appealed to a broader age range and also were a lot more successful.<br />Speaker 1:<br />Arguably our film is similar in this respect; not many fifteen year old girls are rich, but we feel this is our films unique selling point- Felicity, our protagonist, has an unfamiliar life, one that doubtless teenage girls will enjoy observing. ’Clueless’ shows the life of an insufferably rich and vain girl with whom the audiences nonetheless sympathise. The audiences’ expectations will therefore be satisfied as our film follows the recent expansion of the chick flick genre, away from the cliché of an unpopular girl struggling with a very typical day-to-day problem.<br />Speaker 2:<br />S.E.L.L. productions intend to giver our film, ‘Nobody’s Perfect’, a certificate of ‘12’ under BBFC guidelines, while our target audience for the film would be older teenagers, having a 15-certificate would unnecessarily restrict the audience.<br />Most chick-flicks revolve around teenage girls, and the relationships between them, while our film focuses largely on Felicity Harrison as an individual- it does include the other themes typical to the genre; identity, independence and growing up. Other conventions include school and family life, status, popularity and lifestyle- all of which our in our film. <br />Speaker 3:<br />We believe the reason our film is successfully tailored to our audience is due to how it runs alongside the genres’ conventions without being clichéd or predictable.<br />Speaker 4:<br />Our film ‘Nobody’s perfect’ begins with showing Felicity’s morning routine, This is similar to other chick-flick films such as ‘Clueless’ and ‘Bratz’ an develops the two most important features of an opening- characterisation and setting.<br />Speaker 1:<br />Felicity is shown waking up and getting ready for school, the time it takes her to prepare- as well as the amount of time she spends in the mirror- emphasises her characters’ superficial and vain attitude and a brief conversation with her sister over breakfast reveals a little about Felicity’s family life and situation. Other details about her friends and personality are told via a voice-over.<br />Speaker 2:<br />The reason we decided to use this opening is firstly because it fits with chick-flick conventions and secondly because it is more effective to ‘show’ the character rather than simply telling the audience about your protagonist. We have a voiceover to introduce more implicit details such as the names of her friends and her own situation, but also the display of a morning routine to show the audience her personality and lifestyle. <br />
