Synopsis

Hhhhheeeeeellllllllooooooooo, Mr Media-Studies Peoples,


"Naomi is the “queen bee”. She gets what she wants, when she wants it, and more importantly ... gets exactly WHO she wants.
After setting her sights on the biggest prize of all, Aiden Young, and having her reputation ruined by Katelyn “the bitch”, Naomi is determined to get revenge. From ant powder to pink hair, Naomi pulls out all the stops!
Will Naomi ever be back on top, or will her vengeful spiral get the better of her, especially when Katelyn’s brother Oliver becomes the centre of her plot."


This is our synopsis for our 'film' called 'The Naked Truth' - Deciding on a title was difficult. We went through a variety of suggestions, from "Love-Switch", "Unforgettable affair" - which we concluded sounded a bit too '50 shades of niceness', and "Let me love you" to "P.O.R.N. (Problems of Rude Nudes)", "Hell hath no fury" and "W.A.B. (What. A. Bitch)" - I was on a bit of a abbreviation craze.


The title is a well-known saying and relates to the plot of the movie as the initial problem in the tale is the honest-to-God-truth coming out and ruining Naomi's life. The word 'naked' is a double entendre which relates to the naked-pictures of Naomi which are brodcast throughout the school as well as the importance of truth and the role it plays in the film.


We initially had some trouble with creating a plot because we had initally thought up as simple boy-meets-girl and falls in love idea however that sounded much too cliché and we thought it didn't scream HIT! It didn't have much of a storyline and didn't attract interest, so we decided to recall some of our favourite chick-flicks and came up with the revenge aspect to John Tucker Must Die (I'd seriously recommend it) and the ant-powder prank was inspired from a story, amateur written, on Wattpad.com called White Liar. These extra add-ons to the plot developed the comedy aspect of our film, something else we'd struggled with as we'd begun to think the original storyline was more romantic-drama than rom-com material. After much deliberation, we improved the story with a revenge theme, romantic interest and comic touches throughout - and although the film isn't original (name me one film that is), that may work to our advantage as we are taking inspiration and ideas from a range of popular films and combining them to make something a little bit different and perhaps better. It fits into the genre of romantic-comedy which will appeal to our target market of teenage females, 12-21 and works as a succinct, interesting plot.


Pheebs, OUT! ;)
