[Pitch]

My target audience would be young adults and teenagers, looking at the statistic rom-com genre is mostly watch by middle-class a young females who are into fashion celebrities and mostly up to date.

My secondary audience would be people who would like to watch it with a friend still middle class and order parents who would like to watch it with their children.

My movies going to be similar to wild child, it's a boy girl thing, the proposal, devil wears Prada and chalet girl. They all target young females. All those movies have something in common they all target the same audience and some of them to include drama, music and sports.

My story would be based on a girl who's desperate to be popular and have a relationship by the end of this school year. This type of movies are very popular among the teenagers. In the beginning of the opening movies don't necessarily have to include five of the Todorov's narrative formula. My movie I'm going to include the state of equilibrium and the disruption of it. In that way I would be able to create some Mystery which is included in Barthes' Hermeneutic code as well as enigma code to build up tension.

For my characters I would need only three characters I would have a geeky girl who's going to be my main character and a popular girl who's going to be a villain and finally a boy who is going to be the prince and the loving of the main character.

For the locations I chose two bedrooms to compare the boys’ bedroom and the girls’ bedroom while they are getting ready for school. I would also need to film the scene in the street to show them leaving the house and going to school as well as the school itself.

Stereotype of this sort of genre it is very common to have a villain who is going to be with the male main character. The villain would be popular outstanding and very well dressed girl who will do anything to get the male main character on her side. They will be at the main character itself it is going to be a girl who is very shy and not in the middle of the attention and has a limited comfort zone. She's the one who's going to fall in love with the very popular and mature boy in school. He would be the second character for my movie because he will be the one who would eventually be with this geeky girl.

For mise-en-scene and props I would be needed, lights, costumers such as fashionable clothes for the villain to show that she's not very easy to deal with and at the middle of all the attention. Hoodie or sweater and sweatpants as well as pair of glasses, for the geeky girl to show that she is not popular in school. I would also be needed microphone to make a great quality of the sound I would also need props such as computer, food and drinks to be used during the time when the main characters would be compared.

And for intertextuality I'll be using social media to introduce actors, production companies and etc to the audience. For example when the main character will be sending a text to her friend using Facebook that would be a close-up of the text writing the name of the actors and the production companies such things are often used in rom-com genre.
