The document proposes opening sequences for a teen film from four students: 1) Hassan proposes a POV shot introducing stereotypical school groups that ends with the main character's reflection changing from animated to real as the title appears. 2) Vaneesha proposes introducing stereotypical students and teachers and showing a fight between groups. 3) Rushik proposes showing two boys socializing and one explaining his life challenges. 4) Yannis proposes using props and slides without characters to avoid revealing the plot.

1. Our pitch
Vaneesha, Rushik,
Hassan and Yannis

2. Hassan
• Hassan-My idea is about a group of teens from different social backgrounds
with different stereotypical groups. I got this idea from one of my favorite teen
film ‘the breakfast club’ with my own little twist. The teens would be in
detention after school and realize that the teachers they thought were normal
was actually not what they appeared to be. Not just the playground got
stereotypical groups even the teachers lounge has the nerds and jocks. But that
is just a little summary of what the film is about.
• But how I want the opening sequence to be is half animated and half reality,
the camera is going around the whole school in a POV of the audience, with a
voice over of the main character explaining the groups to the audience. So you
will see the jocks bullying the nerds the weird vampire group drinking fake
blood and reading twilight novels and the cheerleaders walking down the
corridors and finally it will end up at the lockers when you will see the main
character opening his lockers and looking into the mirror and you slowly see his
reflection changing from a animation into a reality characters and that’s when
the screen will get slapped with a static shock and our group name will come
up then the school bell will ring. Basically I want to mix American pie,
Superbad, The breakfast club and my own little twist into one great film.

3. Vaneesha
• My idea was that there was a teen character
who introduces her school and the
stereotypical students and teachers in it. After
introducing the students it shows a fight
happening in the playground between
different stereotypical group which is most
common in schools.

4. Rushik
• My idea was that there were two hooded guys
socializing with there backs turned to the camera in a
the corner of a street which looks like there up to no
good. One of the boys looks around and explains his
life and what's he going through e.g. family, friends and
school.
• Another idea that I had was that the teachers from the
school are patrolling the around corridors, because
there was a tip-off that there are students are using
drugs in school. The school call for security in the
school to get more help with the search for the drug
users.

5. Yannis
• My idea is unique I do not want any characters involved. I just want
the opening sequence to have props and slide shows (I got my
inspired by napoleon dynamite). I want to use this idea because I do
not want the plot to be given away as I want the audience to be
familiar with the genre.
• The opening sequence is like a typical teenage relationship, where a
girls boyfriend physically harasses her. It involves drugs, alcohol etc..
• HOWEVER….. I do want our film to be like a typical action adventure
film. Like the protagonist running through the jungle (woods)
without seeing his face so therefor this will create suspense for the
audience. By not revealing the characters identity this will confuse
the audience then cutting it with the credits which will make the
audience think.

6. Film conventions
• We are not planning to break any conventions, we want
to stick to the stereotypical genre’s of a teen movie.
• The teen conventions we’re are going to base our
opening sequence is in a school, the soundtrack will be
either r&b or pop rock. The costume will either be
hoodies and tracksuits or average school clothes. The
narrative will be the main characters.

7. Genre

8. Target audience
• Our target audience would be 15+, mainly because we are
aiming to target teenagers with similar aspects as the
actors. Not only will be aiming at teenagers around the
globe but we will still abstain the “cool factor’ you posses
with a 15+ movie. As a group we was wondering whether
or not we should keep the film 15+ or 12A but we know
that it would have more emphasis as a teen movie. If there
was slang with some swearing that would help the viewers
to relate a bit more to our film.

9. Teen conventions
• Typical teenagers
• Drugs alcohol
• Pop/rock/dark music/R&B
• Condoms
