Script.

SET: IN A TEENAGE GIRLS BEDROOM.
ALL THREE GIRLS SAT ON THE BED RELAXING, RADIO ON IN THE BACKGROUND NOT TOO LOUD.

IMMY sat on the bed listening to her ipod miming along to the words- (credits appearing with each characters who they are and their real name.)
JULIETTE  sat on the bed texting someone on her phone.
HAYLEY sat on the bed reading a magazine.

Cuts to a shot of the radio (meanwhile musical notes fill the air) IMMY jumps up out of bed and starts dancing to the music making her way along to the mirror. Stops and stares at the mirror holding up her hairbrush.

We then cut back to JULIETTE and HAYLEY who turn round and look at IMMY with admiration.
Cutting back to IMMY who is still at the mirror in a gorgeous red dress and her hairbrush has turned into a microphone.(the lights are dim and a spotlight is appearing over IMMYS head)
JULIETTE and HAYLEY are in the background happily swaying and clicking their fingers along like backing singers/dancers.
IMMY then stops miming and the music stops along with it the shot is now in silence.

(BANG)
the title of the musical appears with lots of effects.
A WISH UPON A DREAM.

Target Audience Findings.

To find out what our target audience enjoyed from a musical we set up a face book group with a set of question to see what the findings would be and also so we could incorporate these key points into our own musical. 


These were the questions we asked;
what is your favourite musical, and why? 
What do you expect to happen in a musical?
What do you expect the main character in a musical to look like?
where do you think is the most typical location for a musical to be set?

This is some of the feedback we received; 
Chicago because the story line is very good and the music is catchy and varied. I expect a musical to have a good storyline with a main character that is focused on and a good opening sequence. I expect the main character to be quite pretty as that is just what is usual in musicals. A musical is typically set in either a small place, or somewhere very big (i.e. moulin rouge in Paris)


my favourite musical would have to be hairspray as i saw it live on stage and it made me smile ear to ear the whole way through! I expect a musical to incorporate catchy songs that appeal to a wide audience and it has effect you in some way. The main character could go both ways; either they look amazing and is very popular or they could be an average joe and the down to earth character the audience can sympathise with. musical-set in the streets of a city! 


grease absolute classic! everybody loves it.
expect lovee romance.. hgeart break the usual crap ;)
3) lads have to be beautifulllllllllllllllllll girls pretty.
4- school scene. social network usually the bases of it.



Les Miserables because the music is really good and it tells an important story(ish). I expect a musical to contain drama throughout and somewhere in the plot there should be a pivotal scene to create more action/drama and lead the plot to an end. The main character is usually good looking so the audience will focus on them more. Typical location would be around a town/place of importance for the characters.




From this feedback we decided that the music would be a big feature in our title sequence and that the music had to be fun, upbeat and catchy.
the main characters would have to be good looking characters that stood out and made an impact on the audience so that they were memorable so looked out for people like this while we were casting.











Performers.

3 Girls;
Sky- Hayley Farmer.
A friend of sapphires she is a relaxed shy girl who enjoys having a good time with her friends.




















Sapphire- Imogen Gunter-Zak.
A 16/17 year old girl who is the main character enjoys singing and dancing. Has big dreams of becoming a star and will do anything to achieve those dreams.


















Scarlett- Juliette Webb.

A friend of sky and sapphire. chilled out kind of girl who is very much interested in boys and on her phone all the time, giving off a social representation.

















First meeting; 20 minutes long gives the cast the script and the shots they are ion talk through what we are planning to do and what sort of person their character is.

Audience Profile.

The audience for our musical will be mainly females who are in the C- C2 category on the jicnar scale. They will  be happy, intelligent kinds of women and girls who have a passion for life and enjoy every moment. They may go through bad times but they always look on the bright side of life and don't let it get them down.  The type of music they listen to will be  a mixture of chart music such as lady gaga, rihanna, jls. These women will wear colourful clothes that are stylish but at the same time still really comfortable.
