Pitch Feedback

Where will the movie be set?

The movie will be set around the city of Oxford. The main parts of the movie would be around the city, in which case we would use the interiors of houses (with permission from the owners) and then the parks in Oxford, such as South Parks.

What would you rate the movie and what age group would it be aimed at?

We would have the movie rated as a 15. This would be due to the fact that we would intend for the movie to portray what teenagers of around that age group (the two protagonists are both 17) are like in reality, but we would not want to influence younger children to act that way, either. We would expect the script to contain swearing, and there is one particular scene where the protagonists attend a party which involves alcohol.

The main age-group that the movie would be intended to be seen by would be 15-25 year olds, although really anyone who would be keen to watch it could do (although if they were younger they would have to have parent supervision and/or permission), as that is the main target audience, for that age group is the most likely to relate to the story. According the the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) the guidelines are set into "boundaries and sub catergories". These include: Discrimination, Imitable Behaviour, Langyage, Nudity, Sex, and Violence. If a movie contains any of these, the film automatically is classes as being a 15, although it does depend of the extent of this. For example, a 15 movie would show drug-use but would not promote the use of drugs, or show the full use, whereas below a 15 would only be allowed to hint at drugs. (Resource: [x] and [x])

Would there be extra background for the main characters?

To show development and to create depth to the main characters, we would include "flashback" scenes which could show a bit more of their pasts. Theses would show the extent of Callum's "bad reputation", thus giving Kasey a legitimate reason to not trust him, so that the audience would not be just taking her word for it. It would also make it a bit more believable as to why she doesn't want to date him immediately, and is hesitant about becoming his friend. In Kasey's case, there would be scenes to show more depth in her relationship with her parents, which would help to portay the sense of betrayal she feels from her mothers adultery and would show reason as to why she is so aggressive towards her father after her mother's actions.

Is it a high-budget movie?

No. Our movie would probably be a relatively low-budget movie due to the fact that it would not need any special effects and would mainly be set in homes that do not need many particular props as the setting would be not as important as the focus on the characters and the dialogue.
