1. Production Pitch

2. Working title- Why are you the
company for us?
• After extensive research into your institution we feel that
you have the noticeable success with all the films you
make and we would like to be part of it. Such films as
hot fuzz and Johnny English are huge success in the
comedy world and the most noticeable success being
love actually. Working title is the subsidiary of a major
conglomerate in Universal studios, which shows the
competence you have in both production and distribution.

3. Our own research
• From our own research we have found the optimum age
bracket for the type of comedy film we are making
being 15 to 19, this is due to how the audience can
relate to issue that is taking place. For example, a 15
year old will be able to relate even if it is not by
personal experience but certainly through seeing it around
people getting bullied. Not only this but because they
are the same age the characters will be able to
sympathise with the characters and appreciate the
situation they are in.

4. Conventions of genre and form
From our individual research into the conventions of genre
and form we found various good techniques which are
associated with successful film comedy trailers. For
example an adventure through one of the main characters
lives and how they go on a journey and humour arrives
from this. Within our trailer we aim to show the
transformation of a unpopular boy with few friends and
how he develops into a popular kid at school and how
he finds the girl he has lusted over for his entire school
life.

5. How will our trailer start?
• Our trailer will start with a establish shot over the
house of the main character in the film with a voice
over simultaneously. This will be done to give
background to the main character by saying all the
things he is not. The end of the first scene will show
his alarm clock ring out and show a close up of his
eyes opening. This is done to show he has a
stereotypical life at home, but as the voice over referred
to he, he doesn’t. The emphasis of the film will be to
try to show the happy ending with him getting the girl
and finding the social acceptance he has longed for
thanks to his few semi friends.

6. What is are overall plan?
• We plan to show the transformation of a young boy called
Gibby, this will be done by showing different example of him
being bullied and shunned by the girl he likes. Following this,
you will see three friends observe what is happening to him
and attempt to turn his life around and help him where he
is going wrong. We plan to show the adventurous nature of
the film in different scenes with him going to his first house
party and so on. The half conflict in the film is where after
the first time he try’s to speak to the girl mid way through
his transformation she ignores him accidently. This sends him
back to his old habits and then shows the second journey
getting back to where he was.

7. Possibly scenes
• One scene we decided on would be Gibby coming out
of a dressing room in unfashionable clothes and three
lads shaking there heads and then another scene
straight after wearing fashionable clothes and the three
nodding there heads
