Ash - “I would say that I’m the dullest person you will ever have the misfortune of meeting, sorry about that…”

Ash - “You know that unpopular kid that everyone considers a weirdo, yeah that’s me,”

Ash - “That girl you just saw that’s Darcy, I hate everyone with the exception of one person and that’s her. At age 14 I was diagnosed with major depression disorder and Darcy was the only one there to help me through it.”

Ash - “College… well that’s another story,”

Scene 4

 Ash - “The schools queen bitch Helen spread the news and ever since then my life has been hell.”

Ash - “Teachers on my back every second, I soon realised that you have three types of teachers when it comes to news like mine, the ones who just stay away, the ones who try to help but just make it 10 times worse and the ones who simply don’t care”

Ash - “Art class has always been my reason to keep going.  There is something therapeutic about painting or drawing you heart out on a blank white page, ruining something so fresh.”

Ash - “Another competition to add the endless failed activities he desperately wants us to be involved in. Little did I know that this competition would change my life.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Planning of Fonts - Erin Surkitt

This image show the way in which we want to present the title of our film to the audience. We decided to put the title in the sky as the camera is going to pan up tot he sky when Darcy and Ash are on their bikes enjoying themselves. This is significant as the sky could connote freedom which is what Ash now feels after the "one night". I think the position of our title is important as it emphasises this and also contrasts the dark, restrictive feelings that Ash feels throughout the majority of the film. The font we have decided to use is capitalised sans serif font as this is bold and has a big impact as it connoted something significant. This is important in relation to our film and its title as it emphasises the importance of the one night. Also the repetition of the word one also enables the audience to understand how significant this one night is and how it is going to impact her one life. We finally decided to put this title in white as it signifies Darcy's innocence and purity and also contrasts the hate and destruction that Ash is feeling and how Darcy tries to help her through everything by being there for her. This title is counter typical in some respects as it isn't abbreviated and doesn't include words that are associated with teenagers such as 'mean' or 'wild', however on the other hand, there is no set stereotypical title for teen angst as they are all very random and have no particular themes.

This image shows a possible credit for our film. We wanted the credits to appear in a creative way, such as when an object moves a credit will be displayed in its place. The example above shows that when Ash is walking to school she kicks and coke can and as she kicks this the first credit will appear in its place. We decided on this because it combines a usual random activity of a teenager with an informational piece of text.

Planning of Settings - Erin Surkitt

Here is a series of locations that we would like to use when filming in order to tell the story and also appeal to the target audience which is teenagers.  

The opening of the film will begin with Ash and Darcy biking past Ash's house laughing and giggling which makes the film relatable straight away as they audience may be able to recall a time when they were biking with their friends having fun.

The next shot will be of Ash and Darcy continuing to bike down the street, again following up with the reliability aspect.

The next shot that the film will use will be an edit with a rewind symbol appearing on the screen. We decided to include this as it will appeal to the target audience and it also adds a sense of ...

After the rewind the film will start off back at a house belonging to the main character, as she begins to make her way to school. We decided to include this because straight away it makes the film relatable to teenagers as it is mimicking their daily school routine.

During her journey to school she will walk through the streets, listening to music, looking quite glum, potentially due to the fact that it is common for teenagers to not enjoy school, but it may also be due to the mental illness that Ash has.

This is the area where ash will kick the can and a credit will appear, adding to the stereotypical features of our main character (mischievous behaviour)

The last setting that will be used will be the school. We decided that this was a must for a teen angst film as it appears in most, if not all teen angst films, due to the reliability of this and the success it is known to have if included.
