Synopsis

Our whole opening sequence will be set around the diary of a teenage girl. Characters will be introduced throughout the opening sequence through polaroids and possibly short video clips (with in the shape of the polaroid). Credits will be written on the diary in the girl's hand writing as if they are diary entries and scribbles and drawings will show her feeling towards certian characters, for example little hearts around a picture of the boy she likes. Throughout the sequence there will be a voice over from the main character who is showing us through the diary and introducing us to the other main characters.

Although we want our main character to be represented as 'un-popular' in the film, her diary will include a lot of pink, a typical girly colour and therefore a colour for the popular girls. This shows that while she maybe envies them, she also unconciously aspires to be like them.

The camera will pan over the diary. She will firstly introduce herself, then possibly her best friend. She will then go on to introduce the boy she likes. This boy will be a typical american 'Jock' who is popular at his school, and probably the boy who all the girls like. The audience assumes that this boy is someone our main character admires from a far rather than actually has a relationsip with from the doodled hears and kiss shapes around him.

We will then go on to introduce the popular girls. This is where we want to possibly use a video clip, as we want to have some sort of dramatic introduction for them, to show they are the center of attention. We will use the typical 3 girls maybe walking through a crowd of people and everyone looking at them. The voice over will go on to describe how these are the girls she doesn't like.

We will then pan down the diary to show a picture of her best friend. Its typical in this genre for the lead female role to have a male best friend. She will speak in the voice over of how he keeps her sain.
