Synopsis:
On a normal Wednesday morning, both girls Luna, who is an antisocial, unpopular teen and Tessa, who is one of the most popular girls in school go to
school in their normal routines. Completely oblivious to what is going to
happen, that they would be collided with each other and their routines would
change throughout their teenage years. Both start off the day by having their
normal boring lessons, then when travelling to school they notice a poster,
which is meeting for a competition for making a documentary, created by the
BFI, which if won will be rewarded £1000 and an internship with the company. To
submit your documentary, you have to be in groups with a minimum of 2 people.
This annoys both Luna and Tessa as they wanted to do this alone, but either way they
go to this meeting so that they can get more information about the competition.
The two girls are both late to the meeting, but when they get there at the
door, they give each other dirty looks and both rush through the door, to find
no one else at the meeting. This causes the two girls to
look at each other and question what may have happened. Tessa suggests they wait
to see if any more students arrive. In silence they wait for another 10 minutes
and realise that no one else is coming, and the teacher is reluctant to stay for the whole meeting due to the bad turn out. He tells them what they need to do for the competition, and leave the meeting. They look at each other and realised this what they had to work
with.
For the first few weeks they decide to meet up twice a week,
in a place that no one will see, as Tessa does not want to be seen with Luna as her friends will bully her for it. Then decide what they want the documentary to be about,
death or parties, and then they start to think about the town that they live in,
which is Birmingham. This is something that has been historically known and
there are lots of different perspectives that they can look at. The good, the
bad and the ugly. This is where the friendship that they created started to
strengthen. They start to not care about being seen as their friendship is what
they have both wanted, as Luna never had a friend as good as her and tessa has
always been seen as popular, but never had an actual best friend that she could
trust. They start to really enjoy their friendship and forget about the
documentary. They also start to go to each other's houses in which they see the true difference between them. Tessa does not have a good home life and is seen as she does not have a lot of money, and is not of a good social class in comparison to Luna who has a lot of money. Luna choses past this as she likes having her as a friend. Throughout recording, there are parts in which they forget and record each other and the amazing friendship that is starting to arise.
This all goes downhill when Jamie comes home from uni, Luna's old best friend. Luna cancels one of their filming sessions to see Jamie and the day after when Luna and Tessa meet again, she seems different, back to the same old Luna, who has a pessimistic attitude and does not want to be social with Tessa. Tessa is confused as to why she has started acting miserable again and quickly realises its because of Jamie. Luna starts to invite Jamie along with them to film, and the documentary starts to take a turn for the worse. Eventually Tessa starts an argument with Luna and Jamie, saying that she is being awful and doesn't like the person she has turned into. This huge argument makes them both want to quit the competition, and with only a few weeks until submission, they both feel like there isn't even a chance of them winning anyway.
Then during school, Luna see's Tessa upset because her friends have fallen out with her, because she lied about where she has been.
However Luna, alone at home realises that the whole thing was her fault and that shes not happy in her friendship with Jamie. Without telling Tessa, Luna takes the footage she had and edits the documentary herself, but instead of carrying on with the plan of making a documentary on their town, Luna collects all the footage of Tessa and makes a short documentary about her, about how great she is. She makes the film as a way of saying sorry to her, and submits it without Tessa knowing, but including her name on the publishing comments, so it would be submitted as a group, not an individual.
I have conducted a survey to ask some of my intended audience how they feel about the narrative:
