We were given the task of creating a film idea and pitch, taking into account target audience and film financing. Our target audience was African Americans. We were given a film budget of £5million, through tax schemes.
Tax Schemes: The government offers a direct cash subsidy to produce the film in Britain.
Our film idea:
We decided to name our film Divide. Our film is about 5 stereotyped groups in a college, these groups cause
gang violence and because of this the college gets shut down. One of the teachers of the college takes a member
from each gang and brings them together to form a separate group, everyone feels equal as the groups all join.
The college is close to being reopened, but one troublesome gang member disagrees, and the trouble all starts again.
We have chosen Richard LaGravenese to be our director and he has directed similar films such as Freedom Writers.
