What Changes We've Made

We originally decided to use Walt Disney for the production company to produce our film, but then decided against this after re-shooting, cutting and adding scenes. We then decided to use Alliance Atlantis Productions.

We decided to use Alliance Atlantis Productions, because they have produced a number of teen films, both of high school and youth drama sub genres, such as 'The Duff' which focuses on social groups and not wanting to be labelled and restricted under social status, as well as 'It's a boy girl thing' which is about two teenagers from two backgrounds, one being rich but not being popular, quite reserved and concerned about college applications, and the other comes from a lower class background probably not being afford to go to college, but is at the top of a the social ladder as he is a 'jock' giving him a lot of popularity. In the film you see them have a lot of conflict, and they eventually switch bodies, allowing to live and experience each others social-economic background. This films style and storyline inspired our own film. Alliance Atlantis films mostly share the same target audience as us, whereas Walt Disney aim at a more younger demographic, the ages twelve and under. Alliance Atlantis also have partnered with Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, Focus Features and Lakeshore Entertainment, which have produced a number of teen films.

All of the former Alliance Atlantis specialty networks are now owned by Shaw Communications through its Shaw Media Division (formerly CW Media) as of October 27, 2010. The films division was later acquired by Entertainment One group and folded into eOne on January 9, 2013.

Although Walt Disney produce a lot of teen films such as, 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' 'High School Musical', they are all usually aimed at a much younger child, also they produce a lot of animated films, showing that their demographics are all mostly under twelve. Although they usually produce a lot of high school dramas similar to outs and establish the characters economic background in several, and how it contrast or influences their social life, they don't go as far as establishing the deeper story as we did. They would only scratch the surface, because of the target audience. For example in our opening we decided to add a scene due to some feedback on development of our story line. The scene is of one of our characters stealing from cancer research, and as Walt Disney's audience are quite young, I don't think this scene would of been appropriate. As well as the language in our film, it's quite urban with the occasional bad language, and I know that Walt Disney, don't use that kind of language in their films and it's highly censored.
