Proposal
Our film is going to about a young girl who has a disability. She is a victim on bulling in her local secondary school. The film shows how she gets bullied and what consequences happen; it also shows confidence and the ability to stand up for yourself.
The audience we have aimed at is mainly young teenagers, because this is where bulling is more common. However, this film can also be aimed at much older people, for example 20s – 30s, because it can show how to deal with things and may give an insight on how bulling can be dealt with in a professional manor. It could also be used in schools and colleges for teacher training or teaching resources for younger children and teenagers.
The film is about a young teenaged girl, who is in 6th form at her local school in Canterbury. Charlene (the girl) is paralysed from the waist down, meaning that she has no feeling in her legs at all. This means she’s in a wheelchair to help her around. She also comes from a unfortunate background, she doesn’t get the latest clothes, technology etc, because her family use their money to help her disability and to lead life as normal.
In this school, there is a bully. He thinks he’s big and tough and everyone in the 6th form love him but he finds people that are ‘different’ to him and victimises them. This bully picks on Charlene because of her disability and background. This carries on for a while; Charlene loses all self-confidence and becomes depressed. She them makes the decision to phone up the hotline for bulling. This gives her the confidence to report these bullies. The bullies are dealt with and Charlene starts to feel a lot better. Things start to look up for Charlene as people start to respect her.
We don’t think that this will be the end of all Charlene’s problems and haven’t really seen this as the end for her. The story could continue into other situations such as family life at home or possibly a big change in her disability. This would be decided in the near future.
