    Production Aim

    I aim to produce twenty key frames as my production,


    which reflect on my hypothesis of how teenagers are
    represented based on issues or discrimination in which
    they may face, as well as looking at how teenagers
    spend their time at school as well as their free time. I aim
    to present teenagers of a contemporary society through
    the study of my thesis which relates to the films in which I
    have explored in my extended piece of writing. For
    instance, Boyz N the Hood (1991), 10 Things I Hate About
    You (1999), Detachment (2011), Cyberbully (2011) and
    Submarine (2011). By analysing these films, I have seen
    the changes in the way teenagers are represented in the
    film industry based on the years the films have been
    released as well as the types of genres of the films.
    Teenagers in romantic comedy films during the early 90s
    are unrealistically stereotyped, such as female teenage
    girls main goal in the films are often seen as securing a
    handsome boyfriend. Whereas, the early 2000s
    realistically showcases teenagers within drama genres as
    they look at common issues in which they may face within
    modern society, such as being a bullied in high school and
    the high rates of suicide by teens. This is because society
    has begun to look at the reality of these types of issues
    teenagers may go through.

    The idea in which I have come up with for my twenty key


    frames is a 15-year-old girl who has obsessive compulsive
    disorder due to suffering a traumatic past of being a victim
    of bullying. The audience begin to witness Sophias illusion
    that she receives a text message from a person named
    the Games Master. In reality, the Games Master is her
    subconscious reminder of how she was bullied. The
    production follows with Sophia talking to a psychiatrist
    whilst playing a board game as she is addicted to playing
    games after experiencing being hurt by the punishable
    games in which Sophia had to play abide the bullys rules.

    I aim to embody many of the technical elements that I


    found when studying the films for my essay such as the
    Safa Hossain

    film Detachment (2011) which uses colour to symbolise


    meaning within props such as the black cupcake in which
    Meredith ate, the colour connotes death which made the
    audience instantly assume she is going to commit suicide.
    The colour black also reflects on anxiety and presents the
    pressure in which she faced that had led her to choose
    death over life. I also aim to incorporate point of view
    shots which is influenced by Robert Montgomerys film
    Lady in the Lake (1947) as it shows the main characters
    view point. My production will have a point of view shot of
    the manga book in which Sophia is reading, the coffee on
    the table to show that Sophia is concerned about why the
    Girl reaches out towards the coffee as well as a point of
    view shot of the dice being rolled to create tension and a
    sense of fear, suggesting that Sophia is traumatized from
    her bullied past. Moreover, I also intend to frame the
    protagonist in the centre of the shot when she is seen by
    herself, a style often seen in the hit TV show Mr Robot,
    similarly to its protagonist Eliot and my main protagonist
    Sophia , the framing is effective in showing how the
    characters is isolated physically and mentally , signalling
    negative vibes as the space surrounding the character
    depicts the concept of loneliness and not fitting into
    society.

    Overall, my focus is to show issues that teenagers face in


    society today in which films from the early 2000s begun to
    introduce. As well as showcasing how bullying can
    traumatize vulnerable teenagers who have been bullied.
    By telling the story of how Sophia becomes obsessive in
    playing games due to her traumatic past and how the
    Psychiatrist concludes that her trauma is the cause for her
    illusion as well as her obsessive compulsive disorder.
    Therefore, I will make sure micro elements are accurately
    presented in my twenty key frames.
