Pitch proposal script


Rosie Lee Jackson was transformed when she was ensnared, enmeshed and engulfed upon a furtive stealthy secret as this. Girls who had only known the devious, duplicitous, deceiving girl of Bermondsey High would have failed to recognise this. So who is Rosie Lee and what are the mysteries behind these deadly secret lies?

Our mockumentuary follows the lives of the stereotypical teenage characters going to a mixed school and coping with the ups and downs of teenage life. This show will look deep into the life of the ever so popular Rosie Lee and her disciples, Poppy and Daisy; also known as thunder and lightning. Three mean, arrogant cold-hearted girls who dominate the whole of their image.

So stay tuned in to see what he teenage life in troublesome secondary school may reveal.

Character Profile





Analysing data

 

My target is a group of females who are between the ages of 11- 15.  They are unemployed because they are still high school students. 57% of my audience like to watch mockumentuarys such as Little Britain and Come Fly with Me. However a majority of them like to watch Summer Heights High. On average my data shows that of the 100% who completed my survey 43% would give on a scale of one to ten how much they like watching mockumentuarys a seven. From this data I can conclude that my audience like to watch mockumentuarys that have comedy in them considering that they are a young target audience. Therefore in my mockumentuary so not to lose the audience we would include some comedy in my mockumentuary. However I think that it would be bad to include comedy in our mockumentuary because it may cause the audience to not understand the mockumentuary and it may also make the mockumentuary seem unprofessional.

Mockumentuary Script Scene 1 and 2


Act 1. Scene 1

EXT. SCHOOL. MONDAY

It is a new term at Bermondsey High and the entire senior year is on their way to the school hall for their school briefing. ROSIE, who is the most popular girl in school, enters the school with her two disciples. DAISY, who is the smartest out of the two walks to ROSSIES’ right with DAISY who is not bright at all, stands to ROSSIES’ left.

ROSIE

So girls who do you think is going to be elected for prom queen. I think I should be don’t you think. I mean I am the prettiest out all of you and besides who wouldn’t want to elect…………

DAISY

(DAISY glares at ROSSIE in rage. She doesn’t say anything but shows and expression of pity.)

ROSIE

So yeah. What do you think DAISY? Don’t tell me you have drifted off again. You’re so stupid, when do you ever consider my feelings huh. I think someone owes someone and apology. Don’t you.

DAISY

 (look’s at ROSIE with pure frustration, however decides to speak back to her with a rather sarcastic tone)

Ow I’m sorry ROSIE please forgives me I didn’t mean to be mean. I promise I will be good promise!

ROSSIE (gives DAISY a sneer)

Don’t be a child you idiot. Who do take me for? Listen right and listen very carefully......

ROSIE sees one of her boyfriends entering the gate decides to go to him without finishing her sentence, flaunting herself as if seeking attention first from RYLAND before she actually gets to him

 

                                    Daisy

(Rolls her eyes as if she doesn’t care, then decides to follow into the school hall)

INT. MONDAY. SCHOOL HALL

All the girls and boys enter the school with some faces showing utter excitement with other showing no trace of facial expression whatsoever. At the far corner of the hall it where the three girls ROSIE, DAISY and POPPY have plan to sit however when they get there, serious trouble awaits them.

                  POPPY (looking and the girls on their table)

Uhm ROSIE, who exactly are those hideous girls sitting on our table. They’ve got a face you just wanna slap. I mean eww look at that one’s nails, when was the last time she got them clipped? Three words girl. MAN. E. CURE. Wait that is three words right.

 

            ROSIE (looks at POPPY then DAISY)

Slap her would you DAISY. And yes it’s one word you fish face. When are you going to stop eating? Maybe if stopped eating all that crap that you like stuffing yourself with you might just have enough space inside that pea seized brain of yours to fit at least the smallest kind of common sense but no. You’d rather stuff yourself.

(ROSIE ties to relax before going to the girls on the table still with the bitter frustration left on her face)

 

                  DAISY (apologetically does as she is told)

POPPY (acting as if the slap meant nothing with her face as straight as steel)  

All of the three girls approach their table to find and find a girls sitting on their chairs.

 

ROSIE (makes herself look like an ice queen with flaming eyes)

Oi I’m sorry but this is our table and in case you haven’t realised, you’re not wanted. So I suggest you take your ugly little selves and go elsewhere or right? F.Y.I you over there, you might wanta consider threading. You’ve got whisker growing out your nose. Just saying.

POPPY an DAISY both go silence and wait to see what ROSIE does next. While the other girls sitting on the table decide to leave after the embarrassment they have just witnessed.

ELLA (embarrassed by what ROSIE says talks to her friends as they leave the table

That girl ROSIE is so cruel I can’t believe she just said that. If only I could...

Just before ELLA could finish her sentence Principal Linken enters the hall

Scene 2

Principal Linken takes the stage as he starts to call out the names of the girls and the boys who have been nominated for head GIRL and head BOY.

 

                              PRINCIPAL LINKEN

Good morning student as we all know today is a very exciting day for most if not all of you as we are going to be having our yr 11 prom this evening. But firstly I am going to call out the names of all of those who have been nominated as head girl and head boy, so when I call your name come to the stage then I will call on the winners.

 

                        ROSIE (stands on the table)

Just so you all know that crown is mine.                                     

(Turns around to blow RYLAND a kiss before sitting down)

 

DAISY (secretly gives ROSSIE a sneer but when ROSSIE looks at her flaunts a warming sisterly smile)

 

                  PRINIPALE LINKEN (puts his glasses on)

RYLAND, JAMES and ALEX, please come to the stage you have been nominated for head boy.

 

ELLA, ROSSIE and DAISY, please come to the stage you have been nominated for head girl.

 

ROSIE rushes to the stage and places herself right next to RYLAND giving the other two girls dirty looks. Daisy, stands next to ELLA who she realises are actually trying to hide herself from ROSIE but decide not to say anything.

 

                  PRINCIPAL LINKEN

An head boy goes to...RYLAND.

The students cheer as RYLAND goes to give each of the other guys handshakes as a sign of respect

           

ROSIE (cheers on RYLAND while she tries to calm herself)

            GO RYLAND. Sorry girls this one is mine

 

                              PRINCIPALE LINKEN

            And the head girl is..ROSSIE congratulations.

Both ELLA and ROSSIE leave the stage with no sign of facial expressions, whilst ROSIE goes to get her crown and stand beside RYLAND.

 

So students here you have it these are you new head boy and head girl RYLAND BANKS and ROSIE LEE JACKSON. You may now leave the hall.

 

                  ROSIE (flirting with RYLAND)

So, who you taking to the dance tonight? Anyone special.

                              RYLAND (trying to keep a straight face)

            Umm, I don’t know. How about you?

                              ROSIE (keeps a relaxed face)

            Umm no one, why.

                              RYLAND

I was wondering if you want to go to the dance with me. I mean if that’s ok with you.

                  ROSIE (blushing)

Yes you can come and pick me up at 7

                              RYLAND

            Seven it is.

With nothing else to say to each other both RYLAND and ROSSIE leave the gate with flushed faces giving each other side way glimpses. DAISY gives her friend ROSIE a long stare and waits until she can no longer see her before she too heads home
