Teen Angst Film Inspiration and Feedback

Our film takes its main inspiration from Easy A. This is shown in the fact that both the main character from Easy A and our film are quite unpopular and have to deal with this at school. They both also have a supportive best friend. Despite this inspiration, we wanted to make our film stand out from the rest of the teen angst films and in the process portray an issue which affects many teenagers, therefore our film does not follow stereotypical conventions of many teen angst films.

Some of the feedback we received from our teachers was concerning the lack of inspiration, originally we were unsure of where the idea of our film took inspiration from but with a bit of thought we realised that the characters were fairly relatable to those from Easy A due to the fact that both main characters are seen as unpopular and only really have their one friend who backs them up, but doesn't fully appreciate their friend. The key difference between the two films is that our film is less comedic and focuses more on the severity of the real life situation rather than making it seem comedic.
