Age stereotypes

Youth is rebellion

old people listen to classical music and speak slowly

Adults hate us so much because we lead the lives that they wanted to lead, we are loud and rebellious
we don't use the opportunities that we are given and they would of loved to have the opportunities that we have.

They hate us because we have 'no ambitions in life.' they have responsibility's they are jealous of us.

adults are obsessed with youth because they want to be us.

Tv drama will be shown through ADULTS VIEWS

we are scared of the elderly because of the media

youths are beautiful,

we are insecure and that is why the media target us especially with fashion

The lines between youth, adults and elderly DO NOT exist

they are artificial boundaries

Post mock Exam. Revising the clip, Sexuality

Butch 
Victim 
Permiscus 
threat and abnormal 

Mise-en-scene

The Mise en Scene shows that they are both feminine and gentle. This is because The costumes are silken and one women has a shorter dress. This would portray the stereotype of the relationship between the two women as sympathetic but it may also show the relationship as sexualised when one woman hovers her hand over the other. 

The prop shows red paint. this could show portray lust or love because red is associated with these themes. Also the red paint dripping on the paint dress is associated with the theme that she is innocent and that she is somehow now damaged or dirty 

The women is the victim/sympathetic. The silk of the costume is soft. They are doing it indoors and not out doors because they dont want other people to see it so you feel sympathy for them because it is frowned upon. 

Camera Editing 

The mirror is fuzed up because she cant make up her mind wether she is gay or straight. The man is higher because it shows that he is a hetrosexual man and he is higher up in society. The close up with the paint on the dress is because it shows her sexuality as a women and her vunerability.

Thriller Pitch

My thriller is based on a girl being followed by a mysterious man. I aim to build suspense and mystery through different camera angles and using the Enigma code and the non linear method. By doing this it will create suspense for the audience and an enjoyable watch. Because my thriller is aimed at 16-18 year olds i will not be trying to make it a glamourous thirller. I want to make it as dark as possible and really want the audience to think after they have watched it. I would like my film to be a Shane Meadows type film (This Is England) because he makes films that are set in really poor and deprived places but the film and the settings are so good and thats what makes the audience really think about his work and are rally interested in it. My thriller needs to look like i have made no effort in a way, but also want it to really make a huge inpact. Because it is aimed at 16-18 year olds i am going to use scenarios that apply to every teenager at that age, HOUSE PARTIES. The idea is the girl walks home from the party with a friend. the friend decides to go a different way home. So she bids her friend good night and our girl carrys on taking the shortcut through the park A man spots her and takes advantage of a good looking young girl under the influence of alcohol.

This will hopefully make a good thriller because the sound tracks that i will use will be mysterious and really make the audience be on the the edge of their seats. Then it would disappoint because nothing will happen. this will happen throughout the course of the film until obviously the man gets her. Hopefully my thriller will turn out like i hope it will and i will really be able to make it look good.

Audience research

My target audience for my thriller is teenager between the ages of 16-18. The reason i have chosen that target audience is because i am 16 and i know what i want to see out of a thriller film. It has been proven that when it comes to teenagers, suspense and mystery is the main thing that we want out of a thriller film. Films like James Bond Skyfall appeal to us purely because there is violence, suspense and a love story. The reason we appeal to this is because this is what teenagers are interested in. For some reason we find that these things create a good thriller film for us. That is why i have chosen Teenagers between the ages of 16-18.
