A/S MediaCoursework Pitch

By Amy Wright and Hannah Burgess

About our film:Our film involves a teenage girl called Paige and her boyfriend Jordan. Paige is very independent as her family never seem to be around and rely on her. Jordan is a very popular teenager in his group of friends which makes him feel superior

over Paige which doesn’t help with Paige's insecurities. The start of the film will involve

Paige finding out she is pregnant and attempting to tell Jordan even though he seems careless.

Issue: Teenage Pregnancy

The film tackles the issue of teenage pregnancy and towards the end of the entire film it challenges single parenting.

Point of view:Girl: Boy:

-Scared - Careless

-Independent - Popular (main Influence)

-Had no choice in life - Appears insensitive

-Attached to boyfriend towards girl

Locations1. Girls Bedroom: small, messy, teenage posters

2. Park/ Street Corner where the boy will be

3. Kitchen: Mom not paying any attention

4. Living room: family member?

Possible Titles:

• 17 or Seventeen

• 9 Months

• Alone

• Just Seventeen

We have chosen these possible titles as they are relevant to Paige's character and she is the main character in our film.

Narrative Structure:Barthes’ code:

Why is she alone?

Why is there a pregnancy test?

Within the two minutes there will be a shot of a pregnancy test which will then cut to Jordan with friends talking about her as if he doesn’t care.
