Research and Inspiration for Our Film

The inspiration for our film was a programme called such as ‘Skins’, as it are stars teenagers who play teenagers.

The audience can relate to them, and although there are some very outrageous story lines, they do still tend to be relatable to British teens.

The channel ‘Skins’ in broadcast on is ‘E4’, a channel that does a lot of teen dramas and comedies.

If our product were to be distributed it would be to somewhere like ‘E4’ or possibly ‘BBC Switch’. This is a programme on ‘BBC 2’ on a Saturday; it too also does a lot of short teen drama series.

Films like ‘Twilight’ inspired our camera work, slow romantic panning shots tilting down, making the audience feel more drawn to the characters worked well in our own film.

We wanted to take inspiration from ‘Skins’ as it has fresh story lines every week. We think this is important. Our film looks a lot like a trailer than a short opening to a film, but it is merely a taster of what could be achieved if we were able to make a longer film or series.
