Preparation

Distribution Company

I've decided to name my company 'Bellamour' which comes from the french words 'Belle', meaning beautiful/lovely and amour, which means love. The company would specialise in European Romance films, such as my own.

I came up with the idea after I found out that Buena Vista meant 'pleasant viewing' in Spanish and I picked French as it known to be the 'language of love'.

I came up with several ideas for logos to match the name

In the end I went with the top left. It is a mixture of a heart (resembling the love/romance) and a film clapper (to signify they're films)

This is what the logo would look like when stationary, but I had some help and  managed to make a moving image to put at the beginning of the film.

Script

Music Permission.

Gavin Barker is John Barrowman's agent (www.gavinbarkerassociates.co.uk) He gave me permission to use the song 'Can't Take My Eyes off of you' (Proof below)I picked this song as it is first and foremost a love song and it's about the moment when they first fall in love, which I think targets my audience as they are teenagers, as our my characters, and they are more associated as feeling that deep in love so quickly. The lyric 'let me love you'  shows there is an obstacle that the social class difference prevents them from being in love. The singer, John Barrowman, is very well known although maybe not so much in the teenager's lives as a singer but as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who or Torchwood.

Storyboard

 If you look at the numbers, between 1 & 8, my title credits will take place. As shown below. 

 

The Opening Sequence

Music starts playing- 'Can't Take My Eyes off of You', the rendition by John Barrowman.. The title of the film will appear: 'Love has arrived', one of the lyrics to the song. It will begin at Jo's house on a school day morning. She is getting ready for school, the radio is playing the title song.  On her desk is a good luck card which she glances to and sighs. Also on the desk is a letter on which has a school emblem on it or an image of the school. The letter shows the formality of the upper class school. She puts it on top of some tatty books, glancing over it and she slips it into her bag, which has holes and patches on. She's dressed in baggy jeans and shirt. Her hair has no style and is kept in a ponytail. She moves down the stairs to see her father, eating toast as he heads to the car. He's dressed in dirty clothes (he's a manual worker), as he passes her he kissed her cheek as he steps out of the house. Her mother walks over to her and also hugs her, ensuring her that her first day will be OK. Jo slowly steps out, showing tatty boots/trainers.She walks to school, during which the credits will role. Showing the director, producer, the two main actors and the music. As the titles run, the music becomes louder. Then, she appears at the school, which is a very middle class school. She sighs and she moves to the building.
