Construction - Day 1

I had decided on the name of the film being 'Just Dance', I had chosen certain music to fit in with the dance aspect, being very pacey and optimistic. However, recently a new artist, Lady Gaga, had released a song called 'Just Dance' and I thought it was a perfect oportunity to use this song instead of the other final song 'Believe' by Yolanda Adams, that I had chosen.

Also, After trying to plan which days I could film which scenes, I found it was very difficult trying to get the male actors to fit in with the times the female actors were free to film. This forced me to change my mind slightly about the storyline by making it an all girl film. This would slightly change the genre also but only by not having a romance appeal, more of the friendship between the girls.

New Storyline:

Teenage girl, called Jasmine, gets accepted to a professional dance school and gets a chance to fulfill her dream on scholarship. After her first class of which she performed a freestyle steet dance and amazed her class, the most popular girl in the school, Sarah, tricks Jasmine into going a locker, where there are are drugs being hidden, and as Jasmine takes them out, looking confused, the principal walks past and sees. The principal warns her that if she doesn’t prove that she is a worth being in this school and will work hard then she will lose her scholarship. As the Sarah, and friends, walk past and giggle, a shy girl stands up for Jasmine and soon becomes her friend. Jasmines new friend, Alisha, promises to help her prove to the principal that she is worth the scolarship. Sarah notices that Jasmine has a unique style and will try anything to ruin Jasmines chances by organising a showcase, for ballet only. The principal says that this is Jasmines chance to prove to her that she is worth her scholarship and will work hard. As Jasmine has only ever done street dancing, she is unable to do ballet but Alisha teaches her how to combine her street dance with new ballet techniques. Jasmine performs in the showcase and the principal is amazed and guarantees Jasmine a scholarship for the full 3 years at school.
