Location 1 - Ryde Marina Bowls  This location might be being used as it is a stereotype for a hangout for posh people from private schools, it is also a good location as it is easy to access and will suit what we are looking for. Location 2 - Ryde Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club This location also might be being used as it is also a good stereotype for a posh group to hang out, it also easier to access as it is very close to all of us who are filming. Location 3 - Seaview Duver This location is being used as it is easy to access as it is public and it looks deprived which supports the working class background.

Now that we have got a basic idea of what the story line will be, I now need to establish a clear target audience that our teen drama will be aimed at, as this is very important when designing anything in media. Age range; 14-25 We have decided to choose this age range as we feel it best fits our type of story, because it is quite violent then it won't be targeted at the younger audience and we felt that 14 was the mature age as our drama has deep humour and elements of violence that will not be best suited to the younger audience. We capped it at 25 as we feel that these aged adults will still be connected to their school life as some will still be in education and their memories from school will still be fresh in their heads, the reason we haven't targeted this at the older audience as their school experience would have been very different to school nowadays. Social groups; most if not all We have targeted this at most social groups as it shows the contrast in lifestyle...

The originals ideas I had were; Two protagonists Set in a school Two gangs/groups Elements of comedy  Rich against poor Show the gulf in difference in schools After this we made a brief story line of the rough outline of the main story to give us brief idea and something to work off of. This main story basically included a rivalry between two schools; a posh and a rough school which contrasts the differences in schools and how this effects the lifestyle and personality of pupils. We then made a logo for our group, this gives our production company an image and makes it more professional.

Example of  teen drama Freak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRrdgQ2ER8Q This example of an online teen drama is called Freak, there are currently 16 episodes and its produced by FremantleMedia and it is about a girl being accused as a boy This is good as I can see what makes a good teen drama and what kind of things I need to include in mine to make mine good. This drama uses a wide range of camera angles, some examples of these are; close up, two shot, shot reverse shot and many more, this has made me think about the types of camera angles and movements needed to make a successful, professional teen drama and the message that these angles possess. It has also made me think about the type of story to include as this one is about bullying, a very common thing used in teen dramas. Another example, Waterloo Road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZR2AEbNqHc This teen drama is called Waterloo Road, this is a more established teen drama, with 10 series and it is on BBC O...
