UNIT 4B: Task 1

Theme and Topic:

My chosen topic of my production is the message that if someone doesn’t believe in you
during your worst then they do not deserve to be with you when you’re at your best.

Purpose:
The reason I am doing this topic is because I think that more and more people all the time
believe they are better than people and are more entitled than people and deserve more
than others. I aim to get people to realise that being at your worst is only a tiny part of you
so you shouldn’t be judged for it. I also want to let people know that you can’t do be
horrible to someone and expect them and everyone else to be nice to you. (Treat others
how you would like to be treated.) My selected target audience for this production will be
any and every age.

Target Audience Justification:

The reason I have targeted this production at every age group is because the message can
have an effect on a situation among all these age groups. For example, a kid may bully
another kid because he is new and no one knows him (at his worst) but when he becomes
really popular that same kid who used to bully him wants to be his friend. This lesson is a
lesson that you are never too old to learn or never too young.

Primary Research:
I did a questionnaire and I asked 25 people whether or not they think that people who want
something when it suits them should get it. The results came in that 23 out of 25 people
agreed with this. The other 2 people stated that if that person is in desperate need then
they should have help. This goes to show that people shouldn’t be so self-entitled and
change is required.

Secondary Research:
I have found a content creator called Dhar Mann Studios who makes short movies about
modern issues such as racism, bullying and poverty. His videos educate people about what it
is like to be in a struggle by emphasising the storylines and making them very slightly
unrealistic to portray the message. He and his team have almost 9million likes on their
Facebook page and 5.45 million subscribers on their YouTube account. Did you know that
people who think their opinions are superior to others are most prone to overestimate and
the relevant knowledge and ignoring chances to learn more. People can experience
narcissistic abuse because their partner is a narcissist and doesn’t care about how they feel.

How your production will meet the needs found in the research:
My production will address the fact about how people believe they deserve everything
when they give nothing. It will educate people that we are lucky to be fortunate and in some
situations better than other. It will also show how you shouldn’t want someone when they
are good and successful and not when they are at a low, you should want them no matter
what. I’ll do this through a short film which highlights these facts through a dramatic
storyline.
3 Ideas:
One idea could be a short movie about that features a group of bullies and a kid. They would
bully the kid throughout his life and then time would jump by 10 years and the kid who was
being bullied is now successful and the bullies end up asking him for financial help for old
times’ sake but he doesn’t help them because of the past.

Another idea could be about a mother not accepting her daughter for being LGBT but in
later years her daughter becomes an internet sensation and the mum tries to claim some of
the fame but the daughter refuses and puts her in her place.

Final Idea:
My final idea will be a short movie about a husband and wife. The wife will be suffering from
breast cancer and will be quite ill and sick looking and the husband will be all healthy. The
wife will walk into the kitchen and see loads of his boxes packed and she’ll question him.
The husband will tell her that he is leaving her because of her illness and he can’t deal
without no longer. Another woman walks in and she is revealed to be a woman the husband
has been secretly seeing. They go and pack the car while the wife cries in the kitchen. It will
then fast forward a few years later and the wife will be all healthy and cured and the scene
will be he walking down a corridor and bumping into her ex-husband. It turns out now that
he is very ill in a wheelchair and that he has an illness. It also turns out that the woman he
was having an affair with left him because of his illness. He is shocked to see his ex-wife alive
and asks if they could try again (he knows how it feels to be alone and ill). But the ex-wife
says she cannot forgive him and that “If he couldn’t be with her when she was at her worst
then he doesn’t deserve her at her best.”
