Teen angst film opening, draft

Here is our first draft for our Media Studies teen angst film opening, 'The Lonely Life of a Teenager'


We are planning to change quite a few things about it before the final edition, but this is what we've done so far.

Teen angst film opening, changes

As with anything in  film making, there will always be changes that are made part way through production. Our group were no exception. We changed quite a few things from our original plan, such as:

• Our main character (Max) was initially meant to be female, but we changed this, as it was easier to shoot with someone from our group as the main character, as the person we originally cast wasn't free to film very often, and didn't understand that we needed to film more than one scene.
• We removed the classroom scene from the start of our film opening, as we weren't able to get everyone we wanted together to film at the same time. This meant that we also had to shorten our script, and we had a smaller cast as some people would've only been inn that scene.
• The bullying scene was initially mean to have 3 people bullying the someone (me), but on the day we were filming, one of them wasn't in school, so we filmed it with just two bullies instead, which worked just as well.
• In the film, our main character was meant to be wearing headphones, but in the draft, he isn't as he didn't have them when we started filming, so he didn't wear the for the draft, however, we are re-filing most of it, and he will be wearing headphones there.
• We changed our logo from our original draft. Our initial logo was supposed to look like a wolf howling at the moon, in a snow globe, but we have sine removed the snow globe aspect of it. We have also tried to make an animated logo, and came up with a few attempts, but we currently just have a still image for our logo in the draft, and I don't know if it will change for the final film or not.
• We changed where our main character is coming from at the start of the film. He was initially meant to be leaving his last lesson of the day, a history lesson, however, when we were filming there weren't many people around, so we changed it so that he was coming out of detention after school, to give a reason as to why there weren't many people around. We did, however, rope in a few of our friends that were around to make it look like there were still some people in the school.
