2. THE BRIEF I CHOSE
A shor t fi lm in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes,
together with two of the fol lowing three options - a poster,
trai ler and a magazine review page
3. MY SHORT FILM
I am going to do a documentary
It wi l l be on social acceptance
It will be based around how dif ferent generation, genders and
people see themselves, if they act in a way that others do
because they feel they have to, if they feel pressure to fit in. I
will show this through a series of interviews from dif ferent
people
Not only this but I will show how if someone dresses or looks
dif ferently then people react dif ferently to them. I will do this
by having dif ferent people dress in obscure ways and film how
people react
4. WHY I CHOSE TO DO IT
I think it is impor tant to make a unique and interesting shor t
fi lm that has a message or point to it
In my fi lm it has these things as it wi l l be showing my
audience how people succumb to di f ferent social pressures
I wi l l also uncover weather or not these problems are as
noticeable when your older, or i f they are less, or even i f it is
just young people that have to deal with it
I think it would be interesting to find out this and more
Another reason is that I have chosen to do a documentary is
because I have never done something l ike it so wi l l develop
my fi lmmaking ski l ls in a di f ferent area
5. THE KINDS OF PEOPLE I WILL INTERVIEW
Friends (my age, their pressures and how they feel they
compare to what chi ldren younger then them are dealing with
or what their parents dealt with)
Adults (Older people and how they feel about it, i f they have
the pressures from work/family, how they should act and how
they feel about their chi ldren's pressures compared to the
ones they had to deal with when they were younger )
Chi ldren ( I f they are as ef fected by social pressure as older
teenagers, or i f they have di f ferent pressures)
Much younger chi ldren ( I f they have any social pressures at
al l )
People from di f ferent schools/areas of London to me (to get
an idea i f a di f ferent school/area changes their social
pressures)
