AGE

we have chosen for our fiom to be rated 12a as we are ment to be targeting teens from 12/13 years of age too about 17, we settled on 12a as we thought this kind being set in a teenage school is going to have swearing etc.

charactors

we have chosen 4 charactors within the opening:

our main charactor will be chandler, she is a total loser but doesnt have a clue, she thinks shes in with the cool kids. chandler is goign to stick out from the croud as shes not your average nerd and wears very peppy outgoing clothing and is very confident.

another main charactor within our film is brooke, brooke is the IT girl ( the most popular girl in school)

bailey and bella, are the other two popular girls and have a very bitch atitude and arnt very nice. we chose for all three popular girls names to begin with B's so that they can be known as the three B's or the bitches etc.

we

We decided we liked the whole 'nerd' steriotype and decided to go with a look along those lines, we like the girls hair in the picture above so we have decided to have our charactor chandler in the same/similar style.

the clothing choice for chandler is going to be very loud and make her stand out from the crowd, however not in a particualy good way. the tops and trousers etc are all going to clash with each other. this is going to express what her personality is like straight away as you will be able to see how outragouse and nerdy she is without realising infact she is a total loser.













apart of our opening sequence will include chandler on a bike. we had the idea that an old fashioned 'granny'  bike with a basket on the front for her bag and something that most people really wouldnt want to be seen on








music:

due to the steriotype of cahndler we wanted to make sure the music works in to our advantage and make her look very confident in her own mind but to everyone els look liek a total looser the differnt songs we thought would be good for our film include:

barbie girl- aqua
ridin' dirty- chamilionair
hit me baby one more time- britney spears


location.





we decdied a country setting would be nice to start our film with, so that when chandler is riding her bike everywhere country lanes and feilds would be a perfect setting for her.

what have i learnt?

i have wahtced 3 different chick flicks and looked for similarities in all of them and things i think i would like to include in my opeing from this i have learnt that chick flicks all usually have very upbeat feel good music very close to the opening sequence of the film. all the the opening i viewed introduced the main character at the very beginning. Some chick flicks also take you on a small jounry of the main characors life in the begging and thn stop at the age they are for the remainder of the film, whitch can tel a bit of a storey about what the charactor persanality is and how what kind of charicator they wil be for the rest of the movie. i hve also noticed most chicks flicks main charactor is a girl and will have a boy best friend of love intrest, iv also found there is uaualy an 'IT' boy who the main girl will have a crush on.
