Y.O.U.N.G

Y.O.U.N.G

A short plot:

3 of the young detectives are send back to High School, and they have to act like new students.They are send for a mission to find informations about somebody. In time the two girls in the group slowly get attracted to Ian, which cause tension, also some funny actions. Even though they have to work together, they might do things to sabotage and embarrass each other in front of Ian, and also their bosses in the agency. They will have to pretend to be normal teenagers once again.

Characters:

Ian (Paul Wesley): Tall, mysterious and attractive 20 year old, who is an agent working for FBI/other known institution. Usually serious, smart and a bit anti-social, although he is always in the middle of attention from girls' side. Distrustful and careful, but if you're able to gain his his trust and friendship, he will be the most loyal friend you'll ever have. He was raised in a orphanage.

Alexandria (Emma Watson): 19 years old. Very elegant and well-mannered. Her dad is very rich, but her mother died when she was very young and she misses her terribly. She is very sensitive, sensible and mature. Smart, but she puts her feelings first. The audience may like her because of her sweet personality and great sense of style. Although she is a nice person, she gets a lot into fights with Anna Lee, her partner in this mission.

Anna Lee (Dakota Fanning): 18 years old. Anna is the only child, spoiled by her parents. She is spontaneous and dynamic. She's not afraid of anything, and she says whatever is on her mind before thinking it through. Can be rude, but she is going to be liked by the audience because of her bubbly personality and great sense of humour. She likes to argue. She is creative, she is a quick thinker, and likes to respond with violence. Tense situations with Alex, as they both fancy the same guy.

First Episode {pilot} :

The heart of the institution - we can see the detectives working on their computers. Cameras/Spies. The camera sliding through the rooms, making it clear for the audience where they are. The camera finally slides into a man who talks to another detectives about something. Finally we meet our three main characters (however, we cannot see their face) - who on the same time, see themselves for the first time. They sit down, in an isolated room and are told the story - that they are going to High School, and pretend to be normal students again, and they are told about the situation that is going on - murders/kidnapping etc.

       The last words from the man's mouth is "Now you are, the Y.O.U.N.G" while the screen goes black, and the sound goes off. Few seconds later we see them coming out of the car, wearing black sunglasses, walking towards the school, while the students look at them shocked. 

       The first episode is going to be mainly about the characters trying to learn about each other, and going into a teenage world again. They learn who is who, where is where. Anna Lee quickly becomes popular, which causes many funny situations. 

Information about the Show :

Around 3 or even 4 seasons, each having 20 episodes, 40 minutes on air. Showed on Channel E4 (popular from teenage audience - has many shows for teenagers), around the 8 o'clock on evening, when most of the teenagers are home already, sitting in front of. There might be some strong language sometimes, alcohol and drugs as I want to show a real world of teenagers, so they can relate to what is happening. I also think it will be more interesting for them to watch a show like that, then an innocent series showing a completely different representation of teenagers. 

Season 1 : Our characters get into the High School life that they never had (they were all home schooled). They learn about normal teenagers' lives and try to act like them to not stand out. Anna becomes popular and organises proms, and becomes a leader of the cheerleading team, while Ian is constantly stalked by a group of girls crushing on him causing many funny situations. 

Season 2 : Most of the fights between Alex & Anna Lee start to happen, as they both start to fall for Ian. They have to work together as one, what is very hard for them and they try to embarrass themselves in front of everyone. Sometimes it even comes to sabotage, so that the other one gets kicked out of the team (Ian will have feelings for both, although he will try to stay away from it - this will cause Shipping Wars from the audience side which is very addictive, and it is a very easy way to get the show popular and addictive)

Season 3 : The High School finishes, but the trouble is still there. 3 of our characters get into gang problems, and they will have to solve it by becoming close with it's members. Ian will have to choose between Anna and Alexandria.  

Season 4 : Gang Wars.

Additional

The episodes are going to look quite dark, and it's going to be filmed in many different locations around the city so that the audience gets interested more. The main effect in terms of editing is going to be black outs - nothing more to show the more mature side of the series, which could attract the older audiences which would want to see the lives of younger people. 

We are going to have antagonists throughout the series, although with likeable features, so that the fandom will be split, and there is going to be lots of people with different favourite characters. They will also have lots of situations with the main characters - some of them ever teasing the fandom to 'ship' them together - which will cause the audience to explode with Shipping Wars, obsession, fanart, fanvids and fanfiction which will make the show popular. 

SHIPPING (DEFINITION): A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)

Antagonists from Season 3 

Samy Mikealson (Tom Kaulitz) - 20 year old main-member of one the most dangerous gangs in North Carolina. Similar to Ian if it comes to personality. Although he seems cold and aggressive, he is over protective of his younger brother and he tries to keep him away from the gangs. They were both raised up on the streets. We get to know his good side later on in the story.

Tyler Mikealson (Bill Kaulitz) - 17 year old. Just like Samy, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for his brother. Caring, but a little naive, often gets in trouble and has to count on Samy most of the time.

TV Crime Drama, 26.02.12

(Because Melina isn't here, and I can't get into her blog to improve our work, I will write it down again, this time on my blog with little changes).

The name of our show was Y.O.U.N.G, which stands for Young Operation Undercover New Generation.

The team is called Young by their work buddies, who are way older than them. We came up with this because it's like a code that is used when working with e.g the police, FBI, etc.

It's Subgenre is Comedy. The sense of humour lets audience know more about the characters. Comedy is also used in most E4 shows. Also we decided to add comedy, because we think that it will more connect with teenagers who are our target audience, as a Crime Drama on it's own may sound a little bit boring to this age group, as they like things exciting, funny, and dramatic on the same time.

The Target Audience are teenagers. We decided that because most of the Crime Dramas are for adults, and we wanted to do something different. The main characters are also teenagers, so the audience will relate to any of the situations. 

We came up with 3 main characters, who are currently studying on university. They became young detectives, and are very important and useful for their agencies. 

We have Ian, the only male in the group, he is good looking which might interest girls to watch the series, and two girls - Alexandria and Anna Lee. Alex is the smartest and the most sensible one, very sarcastic which might be very welcomed from the teenagers side because the use of sarcasm is funny, and seen as popular. Anna Lee, she's the most pretty though. She is more like most of the teenagers girls. Cares about her looks, boys, celebrities etc.

I decided that Ian should be played by Paul Wesley, because he is very popular with the age group that is going to be our target audience. He currently plays in Vampire Diaries as Stefan, and he got famous thanks to that role. 

The show will be on Channel E4 (we decided that, because E4 channel has very successful shows for teenagers), around evening (6pm) or later, because than most of the teenagers are home, and watch TV. It could be on 5 days a week, and have around 3 seasons. The next seasons may have other main characters, with similar story but different personalities etc.

Social Aspect: We wanted to create a facebook page for the show, as it is very popular for teenagers to spend time on it these days. It's easy - one person "likes" the page, it shows on it's profile, and 400 other people will see it. We thought of giving some informations about the show on a page, some pictures of behind the scenes, and some activities for the fans which may be rewarded later. 

We'd like to be close to our audience, talk to them a lot, ask about their opinions etc.
