teen film opening planning

our film title is called 'Differences'

the film 'Differences' is a teen drama that compares  the contrasting lifestyle of a popular rich male to a poor psychologically affected female. The whole film is about how the rich popular male falls in love with the poor unpopular female, he leaves his past 'celebrity' lifestyle for her, teaches her how to be a successful banker and makes her his assistant, together they rise through the social hierarchy and end up living their dream.

opening
The opening of the film will be looking at both the popular male's journey to college and the unpopular female's to work. We'll jump between the two to show that both are happening at the same time. During the males journey to college he'll be having flashbacks of how his lifestyle is, this will contain popular dance music, sounds of crowds and loads of shutter sounds to connote his celebrity status. The female will mainly be in contrast to the male her is journey is to work, where she hands out newspapers, she'll be hearing her mums voice screaming and shouting and a voice over reliving the moment of her mothers death followed by a gun shot. As the male character is proceeding to college he bumps into the female character whilst she is working,he is automatically overwhelmed by her beauty this will be how the two characters meet.

the sub genre of the film is teen drama/action/roance

What inspired us
The film 'The Bing Ring' revolves around teenagers living a rich celebrity lifestyle this was popular with the teenage audience which meant that we can replicated this idea in hope to also make it popular with the teenage audience.

costume
The costume of the two characters will be highly in contrast to each other. The rich popular male will be wearing smart casual clothes, this will consists of a shirt , jumper, formal trousers and a peacoat. He'll also have accessories such as an expensive watch and a iPhone to help show off his wealthy lifestyle. The female will be wearing casual clothes such as a plain t-shirt, jeans and trainers, she'll also be wearing a cap. Other mise en scene we'll include are colours, the male will be wearing mainly black and white aswell as gold accessories to connote his formal look. Whereas the female will be wearing quite bland colours to blend in as an ordinary person.

music/sound
Our opening contains a lot of sound and effects which we have found using creative commons. On the males journey some sound effects include, party music, crowds talking and camera shutter sounds.
For the party music we planned to use a Jay-Z & Kanye West collaboration, as for the shutter sound and the crowd talking we will get this from our sound fx folder.
The female's opening is extremely in contrast to the males, we have picked a song that best shows her emotions and therefore makes it easier for us to introduce her. As for the voice over over of her mum we plan to record that ourselves and use the gun shot from the sound fx folder.
