All for a boy uses binary oppostions techniques by the use of this we are able to recognise the differences between the protagnist Saman and Zara is shown as a negative role which is represented ted by showing her in a dark surrounding (pink scene) where as Saman was represnted as relaxed because of her calm atmosphere, this helps us identify the characters role.

Interesting Facts:

Whilst filming Rishad and Zara's scene the amount of times we had to reshoot it due to Rishad being camera shy Awww...

Our initial idea of having a conversation betweeen Zara and Aaron was RUINED because zara went home and filmed over it Ooops...

Saman collected ever single teddy that she could find in her house and displayed them in a certain way so that every single one was shown on the screen ..LOL

‘All for a Boy’ is a short length docu-drama which gives us an insight of the things girls of the 21st century get caught up in. This docu-drama helps us recognise the fact that, girls are no longer worrying about achieving high grades in their education, but would rather go to certain lengths to please boys. Lets see the world through 15-year-old Zara’s eyes, the protagonist who is represented in a negative way, because of the way she acts, dresses and comes across to people. How will she cope when she struggles to choose between education and boys?

The docu drama opens with a montage sequence of Zara getting ready for school mixed with a combination of preview clips which we will later come face to face with in the drama. By including these preview like clips, enigma is created from the start and it meets a target of entertaining its audience. The use of cinema verity style footage crates realism and authenticity keeping the audience in suspense creating more enigma codes, also notice the split screen shots showing us the differences between Zara and Saman.

Zara the protagonist feels as if there is nothing more important in her life than her relationship. We see her go to extreme lengths to keep it all in one piece, even if it does mean forgetting about school. On the other hand, we have a bright student who focuses on nothing but her education, Saman. Saman is represented in a positive role to Zara. In the drama we notice how Saman finds Zara a threat, but she cannot stand up to her leaving her words unspoken.

Interesting Facts:

The infamous Pink Scene which was shown to the class, was UNFORTUNATELY shot in the wrong camera mode, making it look as if it was done on a camera phone. This meant we had to film it again, we did but it wasn’t as good as the first one.

The point of view shot of Zara sneaking into the house was shot at Saman’s house with me actually holding the camera in one hand and trying to open the door in the other! No wonder it was so authentic!!

The scene where Saman is ringing Zara had to be shot like 3 times. The worse thing was that Saman decided to get changed twice, half way between the shots!!
