This document outlines the concept, target audience, and potential scenes for a mockumentary-style short film spoofing educational shows set in a school. The concept involves following stereotypical students and overly dramatic teachers at a sixth form over one day, exposing what really happens behind closed doors. The target audience is 15-20 year olds who can relate to the school experiences and humor. Potential scenes include a teacher obsessed with bees giving a bizarre lesson, girls in the bathroom gossiping and reacting to a bathroom incident, and rowdy boys fighting outside before being scolded by a blunt teacher. Feedback from teenagers suggested exaggerating real school stories would make the film humorous.

2. Our idea.
A mock-umentory style short
film which will be taking the
‘mickey’ out of shows like
‘educating Yorkshire’, where
the cameras are following a
certain set of students and
teachers. They’ll be a number
of stereotypical characters
that you find in schools e.g.
geeks and the popular’s as
well as this they’ll be the over
the top teachers who secretly
to the camera tell it how it is
about the students. The film is
set over one day at a school,
to show what its really like
behind the doors of a sixth
form.
audience
Our target audience is 15-20 years old,
teenagers who have experienced school
life and will be able to relate to what is
happening. Therefore its going to be a 15
as its going to have some minor swearing
init. Our film will appeal to this audience
range because on screen will be
characters around the same age and they’ll
be able to laugh along with them and feel
like their there because they’ve recently left
school or are at school now.

3. concept


Our concept is based on Sacha Baron Cohen film Borat. This film is a
mockumentaory based on a character who’s from Kazakhstan and
goes to America to film and interview unsuspecting Americans who
think he has no idea about the American culture. Our film we be like
this as ours is also a film which is mocking other films and
programmes of the same thing.
Also our idea is based on David walliams and matt Lucas ‘come fly
with me’ TV show which was a mockumentaory which was a spoof of
shows like ‘airline and airport’. Our Short film will be spoof of shows
like educating Yorkshire, but instead of it being a programme it’s a film
set over a day in a sixth form block in Doncaster.

4. The opening shots/credits. Will be a
Montague of different students and
teachers doing funny things e.g. selling
chewing gum as if its drugs.
Teachers pouring alcohol into their
morning cuppa tea and more over the
top/exagerrated things people do in the
morning before the bell goes for school.
This to set the scene and will get the
audiences interested.
There's a teacher who's teaching a lesson an keeps making
references to bee’s e.g. ‘make like a bee, buzz off, And buzz on
with your work. The teacher using PowerPoints with bees on.
The teacher then runs to students who need help with her hands
behind her back and buzzing. The teacher wants to go outside
to teach but the students don’t. The scene ends with the camera
zooming in through the window showing the teacher smelling the
flowers and buzzing.
Ideas for
Scenes
The girls are in focus in the school toilets putting
on layers of make up and gossiping and boys.
They hear a flatulent girl in the cubicle behind
them and start giggling and taking the micky and
swearing lightly. The girl who had the poo walks
and the girls laugh in disgust at her. a member of
staff walks into the toilet so the girls hide in the
same toilet which the girl has the poo in trying to
be quit as possible. The girls scream loudly as
there's a floater in the toilet and in reference to
the smell and all fall out the cubicle and get
caught by the teacher. The teacher is then
interview in the room and she’s saying how the
girls out disgusting and takes the mickey out of
their make up as well.
Outside there's a group of lads, bantering and being your
stereotypical ‘boys’ making snarky comments to each other. They
end up fighting, overdramatically when a teacher comes out and
shouts at them. And then cuts to the teacher being interviewed
where he bares all and says how much he disapproves of these
lads.

5. Feedback.
We’ve had a positive feedback from the
questionnaires we handed out, with 90%
coming back and saying our idea for our
short film is a great and they would watch
it. And we’ve been given some ideas from
teenagers who have experience school
life, so we've took their ideas and
exaggerated their stories to make it more
humorous for our short film.
