Working on the 'science boys' as a final idea ..

After talking though a number of ideas me and Flossi decided that we would work on the Science Boys idea and adapt it to fit for a final piece. We've already started our research and looked at a few tv series/ films that fit with out genre:

                                           -The Big Bang Theory

-Averages 17.1 million viewers around the world

   -Averages 1.13 million viewers on e4 (UK) making

it the most watched programme of the week.

The format of the show follows 4 scientists living in California and their day to day lives, it also features their good looking neighbour Penny and how they interact with her and the rest of society.

The format for this show can  be linked easily with the science boy format that we have planned, but instead of basing our movie around their adult lives, we are looking at the daily actions of four 'science boys' in school. The characters from this series are also good to take note of as they are all in their own right 'unique' something which we would like to try and replicate. Below is a brief of these characters and their unique attributes:

-"Leonard Hofstadter, Ph.D. – An experimental physicist with an IQ of 173, he received his Ph.D. when he was 24 years old. The straight man of the series, he shares an apartment with colleague and friend Sheldon Cooper. The writers immediately implied potential romance between him and neighbor Penny, and their sexual tension is frequently explored."

-" Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D., Sc.D. – Originally from East Texas, he was a child prodigy with an eidetic memory who began college at the age of 11 (after completing the fifth grade), started graduate studies at 14, and earned a Ph.D. at 16. A theoretical physicist focusing on quantum mechanics and string theory, he has a master's degree, a Ph.D. an Sc.D., and an IQ of 187. He exhibits a strict adherence to routine; a lack of understanding of irony and sarcasm; he is also uninterested in many of the romantic hijinks of Leonard, Howard, and Raj. Sheldon shares an apartment with Leonard Hofstadter, across the hall from Penny, and relies on both for advice in social situations. In the fourth season, he begins a relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler, the result of a blind date arranged by his friends Howard and Raj."

- "Howard Wolowitz, M.Eng.^[36] – He works as an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish, and lives with his mother. His father left when he was 11, and, to date, he has never learned why. Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj, Howard lacks a Ph.D. He defends this by pointing out that he has a master's degree in Engineering from MIT and that the apparatus he designs are launched into space, unlike the purely abstract work of his friends. He provides outrageous pick-up lines and fancies himself a ladies' man with suitably unimpressed reactions from Penny; however, he has shown limited success with other women. He claims to be a polyglot. He dates and later becomes engaged to Bernadette Rostenkowski."

-"Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D. – Originally from New Delhi, India, and works as a particle astrophysicist at Caltech.^[38] His family is very well off. He communicates with them via webcam. He is very shy around women and is physically unable to talk to them unless he drinks alcohol (or thinks he has been drinking alcohol). However, he has often had better luck with women than his overly-confident best friend Howard. His parents, Dr. and Mrs. V.M. Koothrappali, are seen via webcam. During the fourth season, his sister Priya becomes Leonard's girlfriend."
