This script is for an action comedy film. The production company is Film 4 BRIEF & WHAT YOU WILL PRODUCE I’ll be producing a script for my original film idea based on my marketing campaign. My script will target young adults who have a taste for comedy. I will be developing a narrative that will be appealing to both male and female audiences from their teens to those in their 30s. My film has a diverse cast with both genders represented in the main roles. One of my characters is in their 20s as the other is a cat. My script will have a 15 certificate. CONTENT Broom likes to wander and because his elderly owner is rich and loves him a lot they hire a bodyguard for him, after some time the owner dies of old age and leaves the cat for the bodyguard in her will. ( Broom doesn’t talk, the audience will know about his emotions through body language and facial expressions.) The bodyguard has to find a new job now and can’t supervise him 24/7 so she figures she will let him roam around by himself, he gets into trouble stealing fish from fish markets and being an overall nuisance to the neighborhood. She finally gives up and locks the cat inside so he destroys the house. ( the guards name is Yuko) Yuko decides to sell Broom but dosen’t know what kind of people she sold him to. The people that buy him did it for his fur. They are unethical pelt dealers. Broom gets locked in a tiny cage with other animals around him but manages to escape the dealers home-alone style. He runs away, narrowly avoiding getting hit by Yuko’s car and goes back home with her. Broom figures living with her is better than being skinned so he decides to accept his new life. GENRE Action- comedy, this genre will be conveyed through the plot and character personalities, inspired by films such as Garfield and Nine Lives as well as Polish comedies. LANGUAGE TO BE USED & WHY My script will use elaborate code as it’s a comedy film therefore its purpose is to entertain rather than inform. The dialogue of my characters will include some slang relevant to todays generation inspired by popular social media trends. The mode of address will be indirect and the language will be informal to conform to classic comedy film conventions. I will be using language that is closely associated with comedy movies such as “HAHAHA- uh oh.” Laughter followed by a sudden switch in tone to indicate brief success that is met with instant negative karma. NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

T My film will follow the usual 3 act structure, introducing a main character, introducing that character with an obstacle or problem finished by a resolution to that problem. The main focuses will be Broom and Yuko, because they will be separated during the midpoint of the film, therefore it will be multi stranded showing both characters viewpoints during the same timeline.

LOCATION & STYLE MOODBOARD My target audience are late teens to those who are in their 30s, my film includes a diverse cast with a main character who is in her 20s. I have used classic films such as Nine Lives, Home Alone and Garfield as inspiration, catering to both the younger and older sides of the audience with the message being similar to those in the films I mentioned, acceptance and equality.

TYPEFACE Courier 12 point font TARGET AUDIENCE My primary audience is the target audience which the certificate indicates to be rated 15, the commentary jokes and action in the film will appeal to this type of audience being ‘relatable’ either referencing popular shows/movies or remarks by the characters. My secondary audience is most likely anyone over the age of 15 who might understand some humor the younger audiences may not or relate to situations such as cleaning after someone which can be tiring. My film will be set in a modern city, beginning in a richer neighbourhood followed by a poorer one that are extremely close together hinting at living inequality in countries. Yuko is a bisexual woman as represented in my character breakdown.
