I've decided to proceed with my coursework on my own, rather than in a group. Since I'd find it a tad unethical to still use the storyline my former group has, I'm coming up with something completely new, and, incidentally, completely different.
I've decided to focus on teen drama rather than horror, because I can connect to it more and feel that area of cinema would be easier for me to recreate. I've always loved the genre anyway, especially British teen drama, such as Skins (even though it's not a film), and movies such as Bend It Like Beckham and Tormented. The conventions of this genre are easy for me to pick apart (since I'm a teen, obviously), and it tends to hold alot of sarcastic humour, superficial romance, narcotics, religious issues, everything a person has to go through. I tend to focus on the teen dramas based upon romance and parties, but films like Bend It Like Beckham really open up the genre and question it, with more serious topics such as sexuality, religion, and loyalty to your family. In my trailer, I'd like to incorporate both sides of Brit teen drama, the serious aspect and the superficial aspect.
