Synopsis

Genre
I have decided to create a romantic comedy opening scene. I have decided this because they seem to be popular with young females  and they all stereotypically follow the same storyline. This means that it would be good to see a romantic comedy that challenges the codes and conventions.

Narrative
The storyline of our opening scene will be that the opening scene will start with the end which is two males holding hands. then the scene will rewind to the beginning of the story. It will show one of the male actors from the start with a group of friends. He will be texting another character with a unisex name. Then the phone is snatched out of the actors hands and his friends mock the fact he is talking to someone who they assume to be a girl. 

Characters
I will have two main characters in the opening scene. These characters are both male and around the age of 17/18. I will also have extra characters who will be the friends of one of the main male characters.

Location
I have decided to have two locations for my opening scene. These locations will be the Castle Ground in Tamworth. We have chosen this because it is an open space which is extremely public. Our other location is Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form. I have chosen this because it is local and an easy location to use. It also gives the audience information about the characters.

Audience
The audience that my opening scene will need to appeal to would be young women around the age of 8-30. This is because this age group are the most likely to want to watch a romantic comedy.

Representation
Within our opening scene, we need to ensure we showing representation. One way that we will do this is by using a homosexual couple and also by showing internet dating/mobile texting. This shows that we have used modern day factors which would make the film more relatable if it was made into a full film in today's society. Another way in which we demonstrate representation is by using costumes. One of our main characters will dress in way which would tell the audience that he is gay. We will need to research into 'stereotypically gay' outfits. The other main character will be wearing normal clothes which would not indicate to the audience that he is gay.
