Treatment
Subject
My short film is a one off drama about bullying and to show how serious bullying is, people think calling people names won t effect the victim but this film will show it does effect people. The main aim of this film is promote awareness on bullying physically and cyber bullying. I feel this film should be shown to all children from primary school onwards to show children how much of an effect bullying can be on peoples lives.

Content
This film will be shown in hd and letterbox and will be in a avi format. This short film is for teenagers to see how bad bullying can be and what consequences bullying can have an individual. It should be advertised to every age group as you can get bullied at work etc. my main aim is to show bullying is wrong in anyway from physical bullying to cyber bullying. But the our main audience is 15 to 20 years old for subject matter. It will be on after 9pm watershed as It contains disturbing violence as it involves children. It could be shown on bbc 1 as it gets a big audience so our short film will be shown to more people and it will pass the campaign of anti-bullying better as more people will be aware of it. The purpose of this short film is to promote anti bullying and show the effects of bullying on people who are getting bullied . This film is to inform people on bullying and its effects on a person getting bullied and it shows retaliation. The short film will run for around 5-10 minutes.

Synopsis
The film opens in the day with people screaming and shouting, the crowd of people will be gathered around someone bleeding on the floor lying on the floor. Then the camera backs off from the crowd and tilts up to the sky and then fades out to bring it to the flashback as the short film is all a flashback leading up to how the person ended up bleeding on the floor. A nerd called peter is walking down the school corridor with his friend and he see s the bully walking towards him he looks down to try so the bully doesn't notice him, but the bully see s him and he trips the nerd over and everyone laughs at him. The bully walks off and says he should watch his back. The nerd then goes to his friend and asks for help and his friend says he cannot help him. The nerd then goes home and goes on his xbox 360 and goes online and he finds messages of people saying he was a loser and they are going to spread around the school he got beaten up. The nerd goes into school and everyone in his classes points and laughs at him. He then goes home and looks at himself in the mirror and asks himself why me?. He then logs on to Facebook to find lots of notifications and messages saying he is a wimp and that everyone hates him in the school. So he is now getting bullied at school and is getting cyber bullied. He walks into school the next with his head down and he see s bully and the bully see s him and he nerd runs and the bully chases after him and the bully catches the nerd and pushes him over. The nerd gets up and tries to defend himself but the bully pushes him over again and challenges the nerd to a fight the next day.

Synopsis continued
The nerd goes home and calls his friend telling him he is having a fight with a school bully and his friend says he will be there to back him up and he gives him advice. The nerd looks at his mirror and asks who he is and he needs to prove himself. His friend comes and over and helps and shows the nerd how to fight and wish him luck. The nerd wakes up for school and slips a knife into his jacket pocket and casually walks into school. Every one at school he see s looks and him and just stare at him. After school the nerd walks with his friend to the field and he see s the bully with a group of people of school laughing at him. The bully and the nerd square up and the nerd pulls out a knife and stabs the bully in the stomach, the screen goes black and white and the bully falls to the floor. The nerd drops the knife and looks at the bully in shock and falls to his knees and repeats what have I done. The spectators of the fight are quiet and still and look shocked. The end credits appear with a message saying bullying is wrong, bullying can lead to serious consequences. And then appears with an anti bullying charity and the crew and actor credits appear with music in the background.
