Our film was inspired by Bend it like Beckham & Mean Girls.
Mean girls inspired us it has the similar storyline of a girl turning from good to bad just for the attention and to try and fit in with the stereotypes of being cool. Also it contains so many of the conventions and binary oppositions you expect in a typical teenage movie such as cool VS uncool and Smart VS Dumb. We will use some of these binary oppositions from this film as we think it strongly relates to the teenage audience and expresses what we ourselves go through at school/college. This will hopefully make our film more memorable as it connects strongly with us and our audience.
Bend it like Beckham is what played a major part of basing our teen movies around Islamic and culture stereotypes. We feel most teenage movies are targeted at only genders and not a specific culture or group. I personally think that this is a good thing as it allows us to create something different rather than just a plain teenage movie.
