Idea-
PLOT
typical horror/black comedy - American
Typical cliques
popular
indie
intellectual
goths - dark makeup
new girl comes doesn't know which clique to fit into to
goes to the popular girls
fits in well slowly ends up having to kill them - 7 days each whenever she decides to kills them - making her way to the top
the girl popular clique will be wearing pink
Everything extremely stereotypical
INTRO
Few titles because will take away from the effects
Beginning two minutes bright colours - colour scheme will be pastels to contrast the blacks and reds by the end.
Dark background with a pink title - not quite horror but a dark comedy. Pink represents female clique.
Camera flashes in the intro everything happens fast
Non-diegetic music movinjg into diegetic - bringing the audience in summer 68 - pink floyd
shots of each clique, no shots of the school setting narrative enigma of where it is set.
Ideas from
Heathers
Jennifer's body
Pretty in pink
Both are dark comedy's with social cliques being represented.
Heathers - Gets a loner boyfriend makes friends with the 'heathers' gets used kills them off one by one
Jennifer's body - becomes a demon and ends up killing all the males in her social eye.
Pretty in pink - the first shot where you see the popular boy and the Molly Ringwald making eye contact you can feel the connection but then the Blondie girl comes and jumps on him - sowing the social cliques without showing the school - narrative enigma and showing how the American cliques don't mix.
not judge a book by its cover
Funeral then the typical girl group crossing off her death - get the idea thats the end of the opening

Influential films for my idea
Jennifer's Body 2009
Distributed: 20th Century Fox
Black Comedy, Supernatural
About a typical high school girl who meets a band and gets turned into a demon and kills boys.
Heathers 1989
Box Office: $1.1 million
Distributed: New World Pictures
Black Comedy
Set in Ohio State High school, based around cliques in high school and drop of girls all called heathers.
Both films are set in what seems to be the typical american high school. In the beginning of Jennifers body we are introduced to Jennifer, the main girl of the school. In Heathers we are also introduced to what seems like the typical group of girls in an american teen film. The three girls are sitting in a garden surrounded by a fence. Everything seems to be happy and upper class. However the girls then stand up and walk on the flowers in sinc. This gives us feel not everything is so perfect and 'american'.
We also get a sense that something is no quite right in Jennifers body. Because everything is perfect for Jennifer, she has the friend, she has all the boys she wants. But when she goes out and gets invited out with the band she is so fond of we feel that something bad is going to happen.
What attracts me to both of these films that i want to involve in my initial ideas, are that it is set in a typical high school and everything seems normal but we can never judge a book by a cover. The kindest of people can trick you by appearances. A black comedy (or dark comedy) is a comic work that employs farce and morbid humour, which, in its simplest form, is humour that makes light of subject matter usually considered taboo. Black humour corresponds to the earlier concept of gallows humour. Black comedy is often controversial due to its subject matter.
