- 2. Debt of a Mute TITLE OF OUR FILM:
- 3. Why we named it this: We decided to call our film this as we feel her music is a barrier between her and social situations, when she does not have her earphones she loses the little confidence that she had, This affects her as a person and affects her well being I.e why we chose the first word to be debt.
- 4. Proposal The short film we’re going to create is based around a girl who cannot handle social situations or is generally anti social. She always has her earphones in and unlike a music video the short film is mostly based around her inner monologue and music in each scene.
- 5. Characters,motivations and goals Characters: Poppy Bright -portrayed by Evie Henderson Daniel Bright- portrayed by Alex Henderson Motivations: Poppy has no motivations, but to get through life without any social aspect. Apart from one exception, her brother. Daniels motivation is to keep his sister happy and be her best friend as well as her younger brother.
