Filming .
My group is behind the rest of the class because we havent started filming yet . We took a camera and tripod home to start filming and had everything set up and the actors waiting, but when we went to put the camera on the tripod we noticed that the black thing that the camera needs to be attached to had been left out of the bag. My teacher said this is because the college no longer had someone that checks them when they come back. Scince then we havent had time to start recording our film, however we have found new actors and wil DEFINETLY be filming this wednesday so we can catch up with the class !

This film is set in a university.The film begins with a geeky unattractive girl called Jada who idolises the popular boy Maison and thinks he is just perfect. She lives a normal life but the other students at her Uni don't agree with that they think she's 'Weird'. She cant believe her luck when Maison asks her out on a date one day, she's over the moon and she spends all her time getting dolled up for the night she had been dreaming about since she set eyes on him. Disaster strikes when she ends up waiting out in the rain for him until realising he stood her up and never really intended on meeting her - it was all a dare. This is were her best friend Ja'el comes in, he's just as down to earth as Jada is so there really good friends. He vows to make Maison pay for humilliating his best friend! He comes up with an idea to completly change her from a ugly duckling to a swan then make Maison fall in love with her then turn everyone against him! At first she disagrees, but Ja'el encourages her change her mind. When she turns beautiful everyone begins to like her and treat her like a normal person. She creates roumors and humilliates Maison in the most horrible ways, all of his friends loose respect for him and he turns into the loser that Jada once was! she turns popular and has the whole uni wrapped around her little finger. But along the way she turns into someone completly different from who she was before, she turns into the women version of Maison! Soon everyone starts to notice how shes changed and makes her no about it, she falls out with her best friend and realises that she needs him, she changes her ways and she tries to get back to normal, even though who she become will always be inside of her. This makes a dramatic effect on how the rest of the college treat her because she is a completly different person. In the end everyone starts to get along!

Questionnaire
We had to write a questionaire to find out information on our chosen drama, we asked 25 people between the ages of 15 and 25. while we was doing the questionaire we noticed that there wasn't alot of 22-25 years olds to ask, so we thought we'd change the age to 15-21 instead. This will help us so that we know what to put into our film :)

By doing this questionaire we found out that most people loved pretty women and 50 First dates, we used this in out film because of the complete opposites that you get in Pretty women.we also found out that most people would prefer to see young people in Rom Com's because they can relate to them in real life.There were alot of different settings that people wrote down, some were in a Bar, some in resturants but the most popular was school/college/University so that is were our films going to be set.Music wise there were alot of different types also, Romantic came up alot of times but it wasnt specific enough, some peole wrote RnB and classical so we thought we'd mix the two to show the differences between the characters in our opening piece.Alot of people said that they dont like the fact that Romantic Comedies always end the same, they said it's to predictable, so with our film we chose to end it abit different, this might be going against the conventions but we have a certain way to pull it off.
