When deciding on the type of film we wanted to make, we took various ideas from multiple teen dramas. Teen drama's focus around the life of teenagers, either being the popular one who's starting to find out that everything doesn't come as easy as they have been led to believe, or focusing on the unpopular person who is having a transformation to make her popular for the entertainment of others. Most films focusing on the unpopular character include the forced transformation from their usual selves into what others expect them to be. The film usually ends with the downfall of the unpopular person, which was planned by the people who tried to transform them. The unpopular person is humiliated and runs away from everyone after the events have happened. Although none of the films we have researched involve drugs or rape, they all involve the purpose humiliation of the unpopular person.
She's All That (1999)
Focuses on the life of an unattractive girl, who the high school jock has made bets with his friends that her can turn her into the prom queen. The trailer below show the basis of the film and its plot to transform the girl.
Heathers (1998)
Focuses around the life of a girl who wants to be in the in-crowd at her school, but when she meets a rebel, who teaches her that there are other ways to play social politics. Even though Heather doesn't want to be the cause of the death of the in-crowd, she finds herself involved in the the murders of most of her enemies, covered up as suicides.
