Research- Its a boy girl thing

The next door neighbours Nell Bedworth and Woody Deane have opposite behaviours and hate each other: the virgin geek Nell is polite, sensitive and well-prepared to go to Yale, while Woody is rude and his greatest expectation is to join a mediocre university due to his abilities playing football. When Nell and Woody are assigned to visit a museum together, they argue in front of a statue of an Aztec god. During the night, their souls swap bodies, bringing difficult situations to them. They first try to damage each other's reputation in high school, but soon they discover that their dream of joining college can only happen with mutual respect and support.

main character -Zoe

Zoe played by Jessica is a quiet geek, she has no friends, focuses on studying and has no social life. She plays the rich girl, no one knows she is rich and she doesn't want anyone to know. She refuses getting picked us by a limo, she is very down to earth.

Characters that are similar to Zoe
Nelly Bedworth from 'Its a boy girl Thing'








Abbey Hanover from 'Mean girls two'











Cady Heron from 'Mean girls'

Main Character- Jessica

For our film 'Between the Two' we wanted to maintain the classic stereotype, we also wanted to add a twist to the stereotype.

The character Jessica from 'Between the Two' is played by Amy O'Brennan
We wanted to represent her in the typical stereotype of a popular girl, often rude to people and has a lot of friends. This then started to get difficult as we wanted her to keep the secret that she isn't as prefect as everyone at her school thinks she is. Really Jessica is actually going through some troubles at home, she is getting evicted and her family don't have any money.  We wanted the audience to know the difficulties Jessica has to face, this is also so the audience could understand why she is affair to let anyone know she is poor.











Characters from famous teen dramas that helped us create Amy's character:
Woody from 'Its a Boy Girl Thing'












Regina George from 'Mean Girls'











Poppy Moore from 'Wild Child'

Ideas for opening

Ideas for film opening

Initially while thinking of the plot/storyline for our film we knew we wanted to make it a Teen High School drama. We also wanted are film to be mainstream, this meant our budget will be high, we will have a large audience and the film will be widely spread.

A film that helped us with out idea is 'Its a Boy Girl Thing'.
Genre- Comedy, Romance and Fantasy
Storyline-The next door neighbours Nell Bedworth and Woody Deane have opposite behaviours and hate each other: the virgin geek Nell is polite, sensitive and well-prepared to go to Yale, while Woody is rude and his greatest expectation is to join a mediocre university due to his abilities playing football. Sworn enemies find themselves in each other's bodies, and use this to ruin each other's lives.

This film is similar to our, therefore we decided to use the same distribution company and the same production company as well.

Budget- $15, 500,000
Director- Nick Hurran
Writer- Geoff Deane



    

 

Main Characters
This is Samaira Armstrong who plays Nelly Bedworth.
She play the geek in 'Its a boy girl thing'.
We wanted our character Zoe to be quite similar to Nelly.

 

 

 
 
This is Kevin Zegers, he plays Woody Deane. He is completely opposite to Nelly. He is rude , very popular and he plays football. We wanted our character Jessica to play a similar role, but a female version.

What i have learnt

Outfit change


This was one of the changes we have made along the way. Jessica's outfit before had to be changed this was because it didn't go with the poor girl image we were hoping to achieve. However, the outfit on the right was the final outfit chosen, we had to add the 'cancer research' scene to let the audience know she cant afford the black leather jacket or the Chelsea boots she had on.                                          

Last editing session

For our last editing session we aimed to complete all tasks to the best standards.
We had to change the title sequence colour, light pink was not visible on a light background. We changed the colour to a much darker pink. Furthermore, we had to move the title of the film from the end to the middle as it looked like a trailer. We transferred the sound to garage band and then we had to transfer it to final cut pro after we finished editing it. We then realized some titles weren't in frame so we went through them all in place.
After putting sound and the title sequences, all we had to do is edit the sound so it will go well with the scenes, and so it would not overlap the speech.

Our final Title Sequence

This is the title sequence order for our film opening Between the Two:

  • Alliance Atlantis Motion pictures Productions {Production Company}
  • Icon Productions {Distribution Company}
  • Alliance Atlantis Production Presents
  • Icon Productions Presents
  • Between the Two {Title of Film}

filming session recap


Jessica our popular 'poor' girl going into cancer research, not wanting to be seen by anyone,
as nobody knows she is going through a hard time.

We had another shot of Jessica running out of cancer research holding a leather jacket and
chelsea boots, with her other hand over her face because she doesn't want anyone to see her

This is one of Jessica's many friends, she is talking on the phone to another friend as she noticed Jessica coming out of cancer research.

Jessica getting ready for college at the bus stop.

Putting on her chelsea boots and leather jacket that she got from cancer research.

Shot of Jessica calling her mum, while holding the eviction notice.
