Planning Evaluations

Storylines: We have created our narratives to reflect our audience’s expectations. We are aiming our drama at teenagers; therefore we decided to have representations of teenagers so the audience can relate to the characters. We have created drama through using extreme real life teenage drama. For instance a teenage girl becoming pregnant is a real life teenage drama because of the amount of teenagers having unprotected sex. However it is an extreme case, yet for a drama, teenage pregnancy is an often used storyline. This is similar with fights, threats, relationship drama, getting kicked out of college, and friendship problems storylines.

Locations: I have chosen these locations because I feel they will create a good atmosphere for the different scenes, for instance under a bridge will seem dangerous and matched narrative of a fighting running and fighting sequence. I have also used mise en scene to give representations, for instance there is graffiti under the bridges that gives connotations of youths and rebel behaviour. Additionally, by using a train station or bus station gives representations of youths because they will use public transport. As well our storyline involves a group of teenagers around college educational age, therefore we can easily use our college to shoot in and then this gives representations of college students.

Script: In planning the script we used a lot of mode of address to reinforce the representations we want to create.

Here is a list:

 “You sneaky shit!” – use of swearing gives representations of rebellion behaviour often seen in youths to revolt against parents and authority.

“That was a rubbish lesson, almost fell asleep" – refers to a college lesson, obviously reinforces to representations of students.

“skank” – Use of youthful aggressive language and insults, especially those of demeaning abuse to women give representations of violence and create drama in the trailer.

“mates" – This is a colloquial speech often used by teenagers, reinforcing this stereotype.

“bedding your girlfriend all the fricken time?!" – Again colloquial language used in an aggressive manor to create representations of violent teenagers.

“Ahh you bitch” – Again use of swearing gives representations of rebellion behaviour often seen in youths.

Planning

When planning our shooting we decided to do our shooting in the holidays rather than in college days because that would limit our time to after college or suring college that would limit our locations and casting.

We plan to do more than one take of a scene, we repeated alot acting as to get the best result and alot of choice of what footage to use.

We also got two cameras to use because this means we can get the same footage from two angles and can cut between them. We also got a tripod for one of the camera so that we could have tripod fottage and handheld for a range of different choice of footage.

We had planned to do most if not all the shooting on the first Saturday on the holidays, however our cast were unreliable and not as many people who we thought would come turned up. We still got a lot of shooting done though. Because of this we planned to do
 -Few people Saturday, more Monday, but only got a few others
