7. Original quality and Themes
Original quality
Short film- train track families coming together. Gave
idea for the two different social classes coming
together.
Teddy being what brings them together- our original
idea- Ella thought of orientating around an object
and Zahra thought of a teddy being the object
Themes
Family love
Class cohesion
8. Intended audience
Families
Deals with adult problems- such as class and
misfortune, therefore more for ages 15+
More of a female audience, for maternal
personalities
People from different classes can relate to
