Bjuicy

Before deciding on BJUICY we looked at other names and designs too I thought if these ones.


For our production company we needed a logo and a name. We thought of different things which we could have and came up with Bjuicy as this incorporates the first initial of our names. which works out to be BJCY we thought we would have this in pink writing with black background. We thought this would be the best idea as we wanted the brand to relate to the Chick Flick Genre and tell the audience about our company. We chose feminine colours as we wanted our production company to reflect on the movie we produce.

Characters

I decided to  choose a very stereotypical  wardrobe for each character. I thought that it would be best for the characters to be stereotypical as the audience will be able to relate to the story even more and will understand the concept of the film.
These will be the type of clothes, make up and hair Chandler will be wearing throughout the film. We have chosen this as Chandler needs to appear ugly/awkward around the other characters. Chandler look much younger and immature compared the "BBF BBZ" we will create this effect by making Chandler wear childish clothes, bag, lunch box, make up and hair accessories. As well as having childish clothes chandler will also act childish and awkward around the popular girls. 

Chandler has an admirer Alan Smithe, who we also want to be a geek, we thought the best costume for him would be one like this. He is the typical smart but dopey geek. 

We wanted the popular girls, Bailey and Brooke to be the classic popular girls very pretty. Usually blonde with blue eyes and to be wearing fashionable clothes. They will also be wearing fairly similar clothes. 
We wanted the popular girls to be very typical for most Chick Flick genres. We also wanted the audience to be able to relate to these girls who are usually in most schools.


We also wanted the girls to look very overdone for school. We thought Katie Price had the right style and make up for the popular girls. We thought this as the media and teenagers usually think the more make up you have on the more pretty you will be. We also want the popular girls to be wearing fake tan as this will make them look older which is very important as we want Chandler to look younger in comparison.
The girls will be called the "BBF BBZ". We wanted the girls to crave the attention from the boys.

I have chosen this photo for the mother as we want her to be the typical mother. As Chandler is an only child the mother treats her as a baby still, as she doesn't want her to grow up. Sara the mother encourages Chandlers behaviour to be one of the popular girls as she wanted to be popular when she was younger. From the mother's appearance the audience will be able to see where Chandler gets her style from. The mother has always wanted to be a nurse, she works as a cleaner in a hospital for 22 years but tells everyone that asks that she saves lives as a nurse.


The father works as an accountant, he is very clever but doesn't have any common sense. We wanted the father Edward to be the typical embarrassing father who tells jokes which aren't funny and tries to be involved with Chandlers social life. Edward wears a suit everyday even on his day off as he likes to stay professional. 






SCRIPT

This is our script for our film that we are going to be producing. Me and Yasmin worked on this together and I have a copy on CeltX

ACT I

Scene 1
Chandler is asleep in bed she rolls over and falls out of her bed. She gets up and puts a cd in the stereo. there is a close up of the CD used. Chandler is dancing in her room whilst singing and listening Aqaua Barbie girl.We see mid shots, high angle shots and low angle shots to see every point of view of her dancing. Chandler is dancing in her pajamas.

CHANDLER: I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world. Life in plastic, its fantastic.

The camera cuts again to a mid shot and Chandler hops across the screen as she attempts to put on her socks. She then hops the other was as she puts the other sock on. The camera remains where it is as it waits for her to cross the screen again.
The camera cuts again to another point in the bedroom, still focusing on chandler. This time she is pulling on a jumper over her t-shirt. She is having difficulty. Barbie Girl remains to play.
Another mid shot of chandler as she does the button up on her trousers. She is stood by the bed post which has a scarf placed on it. Once the button is done up there is a close up of the bed post as Chandlers had grabs the scarf. Its quick. Another close up of Chandlers neck as the scarf is wrapped around. Chandler positions herself infront of the mirror again as she holds up earings to see what they'd look like. Her head is bobbing in time to the music.

CHANDLER: You can touch you can play if you say im always yours

Chandler is looking in the mirror the camera is above her shoulder so we can see her refelction. she is tightly squeezes a hairbrush and sings into it. Chandler falls on the floor very dramatically, knocking over things in her room while she falls.

CHANDLER: OH! fiddlesticks!

 Chandler see's her watch and realizes she is late for school, we see an extreme close up of her watch. As this happens her dad appears at her bedroom door whilst holding her barbie lunch box. there is a point of view shot used between chandler and Edward.

EDWARD: Come on barbie lets go party

Chandler then runs out of her bedroom into the kitchen a tracking shot of to get some cereal and milk to refill her breakfast bike.

  SARA: Oh darling you look positively radiant. Don't  let anyone tell you otherwise

 Chandler leaves her house catching her cardigan in the door as she walks her cardigan rips off. Chandler begins to put on her protective gear and fills up her breakfast bike and puts on her rucksack. As she gets on her bike Ridin Dirty begins to play. The screen pauses and as 'they see me rolling' begins to play we are bought back to Chandler who is riding her bike. This is slow motion and chandler is trying to be sexy. Still in slow motion Chandler pours the cereal into the bowl strapped to the front of her bike, she does this using over exaggerated movements. Chandler now pours the milk ontop, again with big movements. She whips out a spoon from behind her ear and goes to take a mouthful.
The camera uses a tracking shot  follow Chandler on her way to school. Chandler arrives at school as the popular girls are getting out of there car. Ridin dirty is still playing in the background as the popular girls pull up the music is no longer in the background and is being played in their car radio this turns off as the girls get out of the car. all three girls are walking along and swish their hair at the same time

CHANDLER: Oh hey gurrls you look super nice hot today!!

The "BFF BBZ" both look at each other

 Brooke: oh hey bbz you look so good today you should  totally ask out Brad he would toally say yes.

Brad is the school heartthrob. As Brooke is talking to Chandler Bailey pushes chandler into Alan Smithe, the school geek as he walks past.

ALAN SMITHE: oh! (alan laughs nervously trying not to make eye contact) Hey you look really nice today!

CHANDLER: EWWW, ALAN SMITHE! I'm like way out of your league. people cant see us speaking.

ALAN SMITHE: Oh!

Alan gets very flustered and walks/runs off. Chandler walks into school completely oblivious that she is the geek. As she is walking into school the credits appear.

Certificate

We have decided to make our film 12A as younger children would not understand some of the content. We  have also chosen this certificate as the film applies to teenagers and is targeted towards them. However we have made it accessible to a younger audience as they will want to know what they can expect when they are teenagers. We have also made it accessible to all age groups as we feel families would want to go to the cinema together and watch this. Although we have classed our film 12A we still feel it is specifically  targeted to girls aged between thirteen and seventeen.


Universal- The universal certificate means anyone can watch the film. This will be because the film has very mild and light hearted content. Although the universal certificate means anyone can watch it is advised children under four shouldn't watch the film as the children are very unpredictable and it's impossible to know what will upset them.

    
PG (Parental Guidance)- Parental guidance is again open for anyone to watch however it is advised that any children who are sensitive to certain subjects or are very young should have a parent with them. These films are usually aimed at children eight years or older.


12 
No-one under the age of 12 years of age may rent or buy a '12' rated video work.

    

12A- This certificate means only children aged twelve or older can watch this film without a parent there. However anyone accompanied by an adult can watch the film.

 
 15
No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.
 

18
No-one younger than 18 may see a ‘18’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 18 may rent or buy a ‘18’ rated video work

Location

We have decided to film the majority of the opening in a house, this house will not be very big and will be very cluttered/ dirty. Her parents are very eccentric so there will be arts and crafts and little bits and bobs everywhere. The house will be surrounded in fields and country lanes as the family like to be outdoors.


The inside of the house will generally be clean but a little cluttered. The house is always chaos in the morning as people have forgotten where they have put their belongings. This explains why Chandler always seems to be late and disorganised.

Soundtrack

We have decided to make our soundtrack to the film Barbie Girl by Aqua. We have decided this as it is very girly and is now classed as a cheesy, out of date and an unpopular song. This will play for the opening credits and as she is getting ready for school. We have chosen this song in particular as she likes to think that she looks like Barbie and is also popular like Barbie.




Other Sounds
After the starting credits we have decided to add in another song "riding dirty" by Chamillioanre. We have chosen this as it is not something that she would usually listen to. It also reflects on her character as she thinks she is cool when she is not. The song will be playing while she is riding to school on her bicycle this is good as the song is about "cruising" (riding) in a car however she thinks she is cool when in fact she is a loser.




However since starting this I have discovered that using these soundtracks would be copyright. I have now decided to make our own soundtrack for the opening. I will be using garage band to make this, I will also be doing the vocals as I will be playing chandler.
