Mise-en-scene PlanningTrianglproductions

The study roomIn the study room we plan to pan around the room to show some fly-on-the wall footage of students revising for their exams. This is to show some of the students who are working hard to prepare for their exams as our target audience have said that they want to see that.

The common room

Since our documentary is focusing on life in sixth form we have decided to show scenes in the common room of some of the students who are socialising as well as revising. We will focus on one group of friends in the corner of the common room.

ClassroomWe want to use a generic looking classroom so that the target audience can easily relate to the situation. We will be using fly on the wall footage of the student getting one on one mentoring session with her teacher.

Interview area

For our interview area we will be using one of the breakout areas outside the classrooms this is because it is a well lit area that has a display board behind it, this emphasizes the theme of school as the typical display board is a signifier of a school environment.

Other placesCorridorsThere will be quick shots of the corridors just to establish the setting in the introduction.

Outside the school/ Playground

This will be an establishing shot of

the school also shown in the introduction

Costume

We will have our cast dressed in smart office style clothing, both students and teachers. This is because want our students to be in ‘typical’ sixth form clothes in order to make the situations seen in the documentary more realistic and relatable.

The Cast

Mr Ubbi We have chosen this teacher as he is someone who is young and maybe able to be more relatable for the target audience. He is someone that young teachers will be able to identify with him. He also is a good representation of modern schools, as he does not fit the stereotype of the ‘typical’ teacher.

The boys

We have chosen these boys because they are very entertaining, and we think that the dynamic between these two boys is very important for the interviews.

The Girls

We have picked our group of girls because they represent a typical group of teenage girls, we thought it maybe useful to include a stereotypical group of teenager as it is conventional of the genre.
