just turned eighteen - Planning - Initial Pitch

Powerpoint

Madison Young is bossy rich teen from an upper class family and is a stereotypical daddy’s girl. She is also a high school student in her senior year of school and she has decided that she no longer cares about anything anymore. Her best friend Jennifer Hill who blindly does what Madison says without looking the other way is trying her hardest to change her new view of life, after being friends for 8 years their friendship has never been stronger. Ethan Wells is the typical socialite jock who is the number ten point guard on the high school basketball team, he has had his eye on Madison for a few months now and this year he vows to woo her before senior prom commences, but she on the other hand is constantly trying to push him away.

Costumes, props & make up:
Ethan- Shirt, black jeans, trainers.

Madison – Brown wig, posh clothes, normal make up, purse and bag
Jennifer – Casual clothes and natural make up
Our production company’s name was inspired by an important media term and the word “Power” and the use of multiple stars connotes that our company is huge in filming. 

Our tagline tells the audience that movies not associated with "Mise-en-Power" are boring and dull.

These are some of the conventions that we thought of when creating our film.


We are going to use happy, up-beat music with a voice-over of the main character to set a school themed atmosphere over the title sequence. This will then entwine with Madison talking about her life and introducing some of the characters.


Feedback 

We showed this PowerPoint to our class and received feedback from them:
- Our teacher told us that it would be too hard to convince the audience that the film is set in America so instead we decided to use the American stereotypes but in an English setting.
- We forgot to add music to our presentation so we asked people for their opinions at another time and they said that they liked the title music but not another one we picked for the first scene, so we changed it to another type of music.
- The class liked the idea of a voice over so we made sure we kept that in our final product and they liked what our production company logo connotes so we didn't change it.
- We were told to add more to the story so that it would be interesting so we added a group of popular girls who don't like Madison.
