The Problem with Society

The Affected

Affected

Scarred

Our final idea for our film title is ‘Affected’ as our feedback shows the audience feel as ‘Affected’ is most interesting.

We chose ‘Social realism’ as our genre. This is because

we asked our target audience and they decided for us

that the best genre is ‘Social realism’ because as they

are teenagers they are able to relate to the characters

stories. Our group also thought this would be best genre

as we will be able to make it look professional as it is

based on people at our age, so we would be able

connect with the characters. Also we could make it look

more professional rather than horror because we are

able to get the equipment whereas with horror we are

unable to make it realistic.

We based our film to teenager girls(13-19), this

is because we feel as girls will be able to

connect more with the characters rather then

boys will, this is because they have a softer part

inside them rather then a boy and would feel

more hurt after the film. Whereas boys would

not take the story serious.

Our final plot, we needed 3 different

storylines for 3 different characters as our

audience target thought it would be best

to base it on more than one character. We

decided that the three storylines would

be: a character being bullied, a character

who is going through an eating disorder

and the last one is a character who is

being cyber bullied.

In our 2 minute opening scene we are going to make sure the audience know what our genre is, which is social realism: we thought that we would be able to make the film look professional as it would be based on teenagers. We decided to base the story line of 3 main characters, where one character is bullied, another character has an eating disorder and the third character is suicidal.

In our opening scene the audience will find out little parts of the three characters. The first character you will meet will be the character which is getting bullied, the film will only show her getting bullied over the internet will horrible messages. The second character will be the one committing suicide, the part you will see is her trying to jump off a high building however her little brother stops her. The final character would be the one with the eating disorder, all you will see of her is her throwing her dinner in the bin. Finally, you will see all the characters in a meeting which is there to help them with their problems.

In the opening it will include: opening billing; such as the characters names, who is the producer, director, editor and camera person.

Eating Disorder – Hafsah Zaman

Suicide – Rakha Tewany and Harv Wilkhu

Bullying – Zeba Zaman

Eating Disorder – In a house, in the kitchen of

the house as it shows her throwing away food.

Suicide – Based on top of a high building such

as the Library in town, as it makes the audience

feel the character is going to jump of the

building so builds up the tension.

Bullying – In a house, based filming on a

laptop, as it shows the character getting bullied

over the internet (cyber-bullying)

We decided on these decisions as we got help

from our target audience. Our target audience

was help to us when we were planning because

they responded on what they would enjoy best

to watch and what interests them the most.

However our group also helped on the planning

because we worked together and thought about

what sounded best, and what would attract the

most amount of people. We thought of it as if it

was in the cinemas would we watch it.
