Our film is about a teenager ( Rupert) who is having a tuff time at college and with his fellow peers. When he was younger he had his own crowd of friends, both boy and girls and as they got older the crowd went away due to his friends changing. He has always dressed in a geeky way, with his glasses, his jeans that come up short and dirty.

Everyday, On his way into college he comes across the same people that pick on him, Rupert doesnt like it but has put up with it for a while.

He finally tries to do something about it and one morning he goes up to all the boys who were with a couple of grls including one called katie ( Rupert likes ). Rupert squares up to Jack and warns him that one more thing he does to him, will get hurt.

The next day we see Jack and his friends are all outside Ruperts house waiting for him and we see Rupert lying on his bed thinking and walks downstairs and faces Jack. Rupert has all of a sudden got a lot of respect from some boys as well as the gils including Katie. Jack walks off with Katie in a hurry.

We then see that Katie and Jack are arguing and all we hear is katie saying to jack that he is a buuly and not a nice person to be around.

Katie leaves Jack and comes towards Rupert who is just standing by college with the who school behind him and every against Jack and a couple of his chums.

About Our Main Character

Our character is called Rupert. He is 17 years old living in a average sized house with his mother and older brother.

Rupert is mix-raced, slim and looks very scruffy with his dirty old clothes, greasy hair and his thick glasses.

Rupert's mother is always away from home due to her work and leaves Rupert with his older brother Jack. Jack doesn't get along with his brother Rupert and he regually argues and picks on Rupert and home as well as on the street and at school.

Rupert hasn't got friends at all and hardly ever talks to anyone at college. He is very shy and keeps himself quiet and away from all the other people. At college he gets picked on by a boy called Jay. Jay and Rupert used to be very good friends but over the years they have split due to school and their different social crowds.

Rupert has been jelous of Jay since he has started going out with a girl called Katie. Rupert has always liked Katie and used to be friends in primary school with eachother including Jay.

Now a days Jay is always picking on Rupert in front of Katie and this is really upsetting Rupert because he's being embarresedin front of the girl he has loved.

Generating ideas

For my project I plan to work in a group with Jamie. we have had a bit of difficulty finding out what our film will be about. We had an idea of a film and even got what the film was about in one sentence. We got what he first part of the story was but we struggled with a middle and an end. This is because we don't know enough about short films and the only way to learn about short films is to research them and get a stronger idea of how they are conventionally made.  Now we have got a sentence telling us what the film is about i am now going to research short films so we have a stronger idea of them.

when discussing our film to our teacher, we were told to come up with one sentence explaining our film. We struggled to come up with a sentence and with a bit of help with our teacher he helped us narrow down to the one sentence. "Our film is about a guy who wants to stand up for himself and turn his life around."
