The filmmakers wanted to show the contradiction between Mr. Wicks' roles as a teacher and abuser at home. The goal was to raise awareness of domestic violence and how it can be addressed.
The document discusses the inspiration and development of an idea for a short film about domestic violence. It was inspired by the short film "Bitter Silence" which portrayed child abuse. The main character Mr. Wicks, a teacher, was based on a character from that film who abused alcohol and his family. Films like "Precious" informed the portrayal of the vulnerable female protagonist Lucy, showing the inferiority and lack of power of women. While trying to raise awareness of domestic violence, the film aims to portray the "traditional stereotype" of male dominance and female vulnerability through the relationship between Mr. Wicks and Lucy.
The film follows a large family through difficult times as the mother's new partner, a fiery and controlling step-dad, moves in and his temper begins to negatively impact the children. As the family's situation deteriorates, the mother doubts her decision to leave her caring ex-husband for her new partner. In the end, she leaves her partner and reunites with her ex-husband, allowing their family to heal from the damage caused by the step-dad.

The document discusses strategies for appealing to a target young adult audience with a thriller film. It aims to challenge thriller conventions by using unconventional plot elements and diverse main characters that audiences can relate to. Scenes create suspense without giving away the full plot. Costumes counter teen drama stereotypes. Having more female than male main characters expands the audience by appealing more to women. Independent production and distribution allow more direct marketing through social media and online platforms that target audiences frequently use.

The Origins of the Dwayne Johnson Kidnapping Saga
Dwayne Johnson: A Brief Background
Before discussing the specifics of the kidnapping. it is crucial to understand who Dwayne Johnson is and why his kidnapping would be so significant. Born May 2, 1972, Dwayne Douglas Johnson is an American actor, producer, businessman. and former professional wrestler. Known by his ring name, "The Rock," he gained fame in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) before transitioning to a successful career in Hollywood.

His charismatic personality, impressive physique. and action-star status have made him a beloved figure worldwide. Thus, the news of his kidnapping would send shockwaves across the globe.
Setting the Scene: The Day of the Kidnapping
The incident of Dwayne Johnson's kidnapping began on an ordinary day. Johnson was filming his latest high-octane action film set to break box office records. The location was a remote yet scenic area. chosen for its rugged terrain and breathtaking vistas. perfect for the film's climactic scenes.
But, beneath the veneer of normalcy, a sinister plot was unfolding. Unbeknownst to Johnson and his team, a group of criminals had planned his abduction. hoping to leverage his celebrity status for a hefty ransom. The stage was set for an event that would soon dominate worldwide headlines and social media feeds.

The Immediate Aftermath

2. Breaking Bad
Breaking bad is a television series, not short film. But has a similar
Background theme to our short idea. Walt the main character is a Dad
In a normal family, yet after some bad news that he has Cancer he
Decides to cook Crystal Meth to make money for his family. But
His decision tears apart his family and makes it hard for them to
Continue being a family. This is similar to ours because our main
Character finds out his dad is a drug dealer which could tear their
Family apart, but we don’t show that in the short.
We will take conventions from breaking bad as the Mum a stay at
Home housewife with a Son and a Dad. We will also include the
Drug dealing and reference to drugs in ours, however there won’t be
Him making the drugs just selling them.
3. Little
Miss
Sunshine
Little miss sunshine is a feature length
film which is about a dysfunctional
family trying to get their little girl to a
beauty pageant. The film doesn’t
relate to ours but it shares the same
background theme of dysfunctional
families but the more research we can
gather the easier it will be to establish
how we want our film to come across.
4. FAMILY
Family is a short film I found
on vimeo it was directed by
Ransom, this isn’t like our
short as it’s a comedy but still
portrays the different
stereotypical family members
and how they are to when you
arrive home from university or
wherever you’ve been. They’re
not dysfunctional in the same
way our short film idea is but
they all argue lot’s and fight.
Which is potentially a
convention within our short.
5. A family portrait
Here is a short film from ‘short of the week.’
which is an animation of a family affair. The
story takes place during an awkward family
photo session where a wife’s suspicions of her
husband’s infidelity slowly builds to
intolerable lengths. But as we soon learn, she
harbors a secret of her own. This is a good
comparable to our piece as the issue targeted
is serious and has the underlying theme of
dysfunctional family.
6. Overall
• Overall our short films fits in with the majority of the
conventions of others. However most films targeting
dysfunctional families are based on the comedy genre
yet ours is not, ours is serious meaning we need to make
sure that none of the funny issues targeted in these
shorts etc.. are shown in ours as the audience may take
it the wrong way and miss-establish our genre.
