Screenplay

Representation of Bullying

As one of our characters in our opening sequence is A Teen Bully, We were asked to create a short movie outlying the representations of our characters within society. I decided to explore the representation and reality of bullying in our society as some background information of our Bully Character.

Filming Locations

Photographs of the filming locations.

Here are some photographs that we took of the locations we will be using to film our opening sequence. It'll take place around Torquay seafront.

The first photo shows a shelter in which the teen bully will be introduced. It differs from the busy High Street so gives more of a variety to our opening sequences making it more interesting to watch. Here are able to see she is no different in superiority to anybody else. She will be on her phone smiling at the mean texts that she is sending. We will show an eye line match of her looking at her phone to see what she texts to somebody else.

 

The Costa shop here is where the businessman will be introduced by walking out of this shop in Palm Court on Torquay seafront. This gives away nothing of his status, not revealing where he works or what he does for a living. His costume gives a hint to the audience of the type of person he may be. By walking out of a very popular shop, we see he is no different in taste to most other people. Hopefully during filming, the outside of this shop will be really busy. We also want to film from the centre of the road on the central platform so that during the filming of Christopher as the businessman, we see cars driving through the shot to add to the business and action of the piece.

This is part of the promenade on the other side of the road opposite Costa Coffee in which we will use for extra shots. The scenery can be manipulated to produce very artistic shots and so hopefully we will use this to our advantage to make our opening sequence more intriguing. I believe that by using artistic shots, our media product will be able to appeal to a wider target audience. Having the sea in the background of the shots will be different and intriguing to most other thriller movies.

Here is the bottom of the Torquay High Street, where the urban teenager will be introduced. He will be first seen sat on the stairs. By sitting on the stairs, the teen is being justified as a stereotypical 'bad boy'. His appearance and position on these stairs will validate his position in society.

Here is Torquay Pier where the main antagonist girl will be introduced. Again the scenery can produce artistic shots and so we will use the linear perspective of the pier to intrigue the audience. By introducing the main antagonist in a undeniably open space, she again blends in with the environment. Only her actions are what really gives away who she is.
