the audience.

the film. This film also sends a good message across the
young adults that we wanted to portray.

British element we want to portray in our film through the
school setting and the overall environment. This film also
influenced the culture, and characters we want in our film
Other films that influenced us are Juno, Submarine, Mean
Girls etc. These films influenced us as they all show
relationships between characters and give the overall teen
drama feel.
