Audience Profile

• The target audience we will be aiming for our short film would be mostly females from 12-25 years old. This is merely due to the reason that the main character is a female teenager which

s something that boys wouldn’t really be interested in. We chose this age range because the girl is a teenager so most teenagers and young women would be able to relate to her

story.

• The certificate of our short film would be 12, this is because there isn’t anything that’s really inappropriate in our short

films for young individuals to watch as it doesn’t contain any; nudity, drugs, sexual actions or discrimination. However we

gave our film this certificate as it does contain a sensitive theme.

Central Character Profile

• MAIN CHARACTER: Ava

• Ava is a 15 year old girl who is in year 11, she has stage 3 cancer. Ava was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 10. Ava is a fun and sociable teen that likes to spend time with her friends having sleepovers and going shopping. Ava lives with her Dad and her 2 sister and younger brother. She lives in a flat and because of her big family it is a bit of a squash. Ava's doctors have said that she has 6 months left to live but Ava will not let anything stand in her way.

Other featuring charactersHazel:

Hazel is 16 years old and her and Ava have been best friends since they were in nursery. Hazel has supported Ava through her cancer treatment by going to visit her in the hospital and going round to Ava house as often as possible. Hazel has a loving character and always put others before herself. Hazel has always been a grade A student but has never bragged about this. Hazel lives with her parents and younger sister.

Kim, Jess and Jade:Kim (15), Jess(16) and Jade (16) met Ava and Hazel in Year 7 and they have been really close friends ever since. They have supported Ava since they found out that she was fighting cancer. They are all fun and loving teenage girls and love to spend time together.

Screenplay

Sound

We are still deciding on what music we will like to feature within our film however the style in which will be included will be current upbeat songs in order to show that even though Ava has cancer she is just like an regular fun loving teen.

We have decided that for the scene in which Ava reveals to the audience that she has cancer a sad

piano composition will be played in order to emphasis that the short film is indeed an emotional drama. This

composition will also be created by Skye.

Location and settingsFor the short film we have exactly 12 different locations in which we need to film at. These locations are:-
