Synopsis:
I am making a short film which revolves around 1 prop, and challenges morals within
society. The story is set in a childrens playground, and all characters will be young. The
main character is a sees other children within the playground and judges them, but after
looking through the main prop (pair of binoculars) he sees what they are really like, and why
they are that way.
