TitleThe reason we’ve gone with Adam because felt that the

focus of the short film is the child suffering form the mental illness.

We purposely chose not to include anxiety in the title or tag line as we didn’t want to give away the key narrative in the

title of the film.

We used the tagline of “the struggles of life” because the child is suffering with social anxiety and we want to give

away something without giving away the whole plot.

Narrative

Characters • The main character (Adam) is a

young teenage male, roughly 15/16 in his later years at school. The boy struggles with social anxiety meaning day-to-day tasks become difficult. We will demonstrate his social anxiety by using voices in his head that argue with one another and put doubts in his mind which causes the anxiety.

• Extra 1- The other character is only minor, as we want to focus on Adam. She will be a motherly figure to him that comforts him and calms his social anxiety. Depending on location she could be a waitress, shopkeeper or teacher.

Location

Style & Form

• Documentary/ Drama that uses voiceovers and sound bridges as the main narrative technique.

Contingency plan• A documentary style short film on a child

suffering with anxiety. Use interviews and voiceovers as this was our original plan anyway.

Costs• Our film will very low cost, travelling would

not be an issue as Greg can drive. We will rent out the equipment for free from the hatch at college. The only main costs may be food and drink on the day of filming.

• Expenses will potentially need to be paid for our actors.
