School End Note Series Returns To Bring The Excitement Of High School Days

School Final Notes Series (Puput Puji/VOI)

JAKARTA - The School Final Notes series is ready to be broadcast by Vision+. This series, co-produced by Paragon Pictures and Ideosource Entertainment, is adapted from the 2005 film of the same name.

The story of performing arts in high school to teenage love stories, will be summarized with contemporary stories. School Final Notes series tells the story of a group of students who are in their last year of high school. If in the original film the students made a documentary to be shown at a farewell party, the serial version featured an art performance (pensi) which would be the final record of their school.

School Final Notes was made into a serial version because according to Paragon Pictures executive producer Robert Rony, currently there are not many shows that really raise the problems of school children. In fact, he said, the school period, especially during high school, is one of the most beautiful times in life.

"There aren't many stories of teenagers in Indonesia that really explore stories in their high school. The high school is just a setting, but the stories are everywhere," said Robert during a press conference in Jakarta, Friday, July 29.

"What we are trying to bring up in this series will be different from the previous ones, because we are really raising the issue of teenagers in high school who are really teenagers. So we try to be more honest about stories in high school which are not only love, but also friendship and mischief. during high school," he continued.

Pandu Birantoro as the producer said that the difference was intended to make the School Final Notes series relevant to today's high school students. The reason, according to him, was that making videos in 2005 when the original film was shown was not easy, in contrast to nowadays where everyone can make videos thanks to technological advances.

"In the past, it was about three people who were underdogs and really wanted to make videos and the videos were played at their school and become memories. But now everyone can make videos, edit, and then upload them. So we are really looking for what stories can remain relevant," said Pandu.

He added that the pensi was also deliberately appointed to treat the high school children's longing for the event, which is currently rarely held because it is often labeled as an event that often causes riots.

"Before we plotted, we researched almost 80-100 high school students throughout Indonesia, we wanted to know what their problems were while at school. So there was concern that pensi would disappear because they were often labeled as riotous. a big event that can be produced together as a final note for their school," explained Pandu.

Directed by Andibachtiar Yusuf, the School Final Note series will star Azela Putri, Sarah Beatrix, Kacamelyv Prakaca, Arya Mohan, Geraldo Chandra, and Dhirgham Prabasworo. The film will begin production later this month.
