Movies that contain Elements of our Coursework ideas- Coursework prep

Pretty in Pink
Teenager Andie who is not so well off is one of the not-so-popular girls in high school. She usually hangs out withy her friends Iona and Duckie, Duckie has a crush on her, but now she has met a new guy at school, Blane. He one of the rich and popular guys but can the two worlds meet?

This movie has a similar story line to our Coursework opening about 2 people from a very different background. Andie as the girl who is not so popular, working class girl who likes a popular, rich boy Blane.

Andie's comes from the same background as 'Emma', Andie's home life is probably better than Emma's as she has a very difficult upbringing. But Blane is very much like Oscar our main character in our opening because he has a choice in whether they should be together or not.


500 days of Summer

This is an example of our split screening effect.   Instead of 'expectation vs reality' it would be the boys and girls different lives in getting ready in the morning for school. We felt this would be a good way to show the contrast in upbringings so you can compare it there and then , rather than switching from person to person, it will also give us more time within our 2 minute opening as we don't have to repeat each procedure of getting ready in the morning for other Emma and Oscar.

Ten things I hate about you
A new kid must find a guy to date the meanest girl in school, the oldest sister of the girl he has a crush on, who cannot date until her older sister does.  I thought a part of this story line is similar to our coursework opening, as the boy who is going to date the meanest girl in school (Kat), has to learn to adapt to what she likes and how she lives her life, then he falls in love with her, which fits in with our convention of the boy having difficulties in liking the girl due to her background but ends up falling in love, the similar to our movie idea.
