culture.
The conventions include; sex, drugs, violence, parties, alcohol, “cliques” and
relationships.
In our two minute opening we decide to introduce the main “clique” as this
would help our audience identify the genre of our film. Our chosen Location
also helps as teen dramas stereotypically use schools as a main location.
Many teen drama include Law Vs crime. In our teen drama the illegal
circumstances are not highlighted in the first two minute. However the reason
in which the characters faints is drug related, but the audience are unaware of
this so early into the film. We felt doing this would lead the audience into
making their own assumptions.
“Searching Fate” Represents a social
group of “Teenage Gangsters, however in
our film they are girls.
The “Gangster” image was portrayed by
the use of language and the selected
clothing.
The chosen dialect helped to show the
unity between the group and gave them
shared identity. We aimed to used
language that our target audience could
relate to and understand.
Chanelle our main character tried to
portray the body language of someone
strong and able to lead the “clique”. The
camera angles used when following her
reveal the type of character she plays.
We chose to use the song Tinnie Tempah
– “Tears” as the lyrics combine with the
genre and successfully represent the
social group.
The Language used toward the teacher in
the classroom scene also reflects the
representation of the group, as they have
There are many media institutions which tend to distribute a variety of films.
Some institutions stick to one genre, however some are very open and will
distribute many genres.
After researching what media institution has released the majority of teen
dramas, I found that Revolver Entertainment was the most ideal for our film. As
Revolver Entertainment released Kidulthood i believe that it would also have no
obligation to distribute ‘Searching Fate’ as well.
In addition to that I found that Revolver Entertainment targets the same audience
to what ‘Searching Fate’ was produced for.
As our film will later included scenes of drugs and violence the BBFC would give
our film a 15 certificate, as some scenes would be inappropriate for anyone under
this age.
From our research we concluded that our target audience was
between the ages of 15 to 18. Therefore our film relates a lot to
that generation.
