Proposal

For my short film I will be creating, will be around the topic bullying, and how it affects the person getting bullied and the bully. This short film will be showing you how it physically and mental affects their personality and how people may become depressed and contemplate killing themselves because it’s gotten that bad. However on the other side of the story you have the bully and why he is doing is it because of his family life is not that great so he need people to experiences the same pain as him or is it just because he wants to do it. So my idea for this short film will be having the person getting bullied having a monologue and talking about how his life has become awful because of getting bullied. The story will be in a linear structure as it will be beginning, middle and end and it may be a multi-strand story as you will see it from both perspectives. For this I will need 2 actors.

Some effect that I have in mind are crosscutting as you could have the bully’s life one scene and the person that is being bullied the next scene and seeing the contrast in life’s between the bully and the bullied. Also you may use a first person camera on the bullying scene as it will put some emotion in the short film and people will be more involved in the short film and will feel sorry for the people actually going through this in real life and are not so lucky.

I think that most of the sound will be diegetic as you will see most of it when you are watching it like the sound of the walk and other sound of that nature but I think there might be some background sound which would make it non-diegetic as you would not know where the music would be coming from.

My target audience would be for around the year 7- college students as a lot of the bully happens around this age range as this is the age when you learn a lot about this sort of thing and why it happens.
