OTHER PLANNING

TITLE:

JOE! Or the greatest loser in all of Longsands Academy

I wanted something that would stick, but I didn’t want it to be clichéd or conventional. So I named the movie after the protagonist and just added a lengthy subheading. This will hopefully draw the audience in as it is like nothing anyone has seen before. The adding of the “!” I thought would attract the younger crowd as it is more loud and aggressive, the young teenage crowd like that. I thought the subheading would be relatable as every teenager feels like a complete loser at some point. Then it mentions a school, which connotes the location and the age of the audience the film is aimed at. Also the fact that the character’s name is very ordinary can help relate with the audience as it’s not a super duper warrior name, it’s simply “joe”.

FONT:

The font will be a rough font, one that looks cracked or broken. This would be to symbolise how unpolished Joe is and how broken his social life is.  It would be san serif because it looks less fancy, and our hero is certainly not a posh character.

SETTING:

The setting for the movie would include a street, a school, a park and his bedroom. This is to create a normal down to earth setting that teenagers can relate to, all the while creating the uncomfortable and surreal atmosphere with the dramatized lighting (dark for school and light for outside of school) but with the 4^th wall breaking going on. The lighting scheme is like this to signify that school is not a fun place and outside of school is where the characters are free.

MUSIC:

The music will mainly be electronic pop rock to try and connect with the audience and appeal to the mainstream market of that audience.  They will however not be popular songs to avoid copyright issues. That way my video can still remain up on youtube.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT:

This will be a 4^th wall breaking movie.  This style of comedy will hopefully sell the movie after the recent success of films like Deadpool, which many teenagers enjoyed. This will make the film appeal to the audience while still keeping different from the other teen angst films.
