Existing Films and Tv that influenced our idea

At the moment there are a lot of current teenage drinking films, genaral drinking films,and current drinking TV shows that are very popular with our target audience.
These are some of them which influenced our idea.

Superbad:

Plot:
Two co-dependent high school seniors are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry.

This film was very popular when realeased and had a huge influence on our scripting and characters (Fogul in our films personality is based on Mclovin in Superbad)

Skins:


Plot:The story of a group of British teens who are trying to grow up and find love and happiness despite questionable parenting and teachers who more want to be friends (and lovers) rather than authority figures.

Skins is currently a hugely popular TV show,this was a big influence on the characters and type of comedy we include.

The Hangover:

Plot:
A Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.

We deconstructed this film and it was the influence for one of our ideas that we had in our brainstorming session,it also heavily influenced our storyline as it influenced our scripting.
This film also provivded us with the idea of using images at the end or begining of our film.

American Pie:
Plot:Erik, Ryan, and Cooze start college and pledge the Beta House fraternity, presided over by none other than legendary Dwight Stifler
American pie influenced our peice in many ways such,the series of six is iconic for practical jokes,and getting back at people,This is where we got inspiration for the kidnapping scene and tying up of FOGUL in the toilets
