Media Coursework Ideas
From the three coursework briefs: Film, current affairs, and music. I have chosen to complete the broadcasting and print for a film.
My decision is to go with the topic 'urban life' as I thought that it can illustrate real life struggles some people actually go through. For example, I'm going to use a theme of drugs and alcohol which should fit in well with British social realism.
The first scene is going to be in the present tense where my main character Leah is going to be on the way home in the back of a car. At this part, she looks very tired, hungover but also miserable as she'd been sexually abused the previous night.
The next scene flashes back to her childhood when she was free, running around in the long grass, and being happy in a simplistic way. Then a flash forward happens to after when she starts secondary school, she is a victim of bullying by a bunch of girls (this is when things start spiralling downwards).
She starts hanging out with the wrong crowd when she's got a bit older: going to parties, drinking, and going out with lots of guys that are a lot older than her. Another flash forward happens when she's a young adult at another party where she starts taking harder drugs along with alcohol. This time she doesn't realise that her drinks were spiked with the date-rape drug.
She starts blacking out and these three people, hooded, start taking her away. Soon she realises that she's being kidnapped and starts squealing. So the kidnappers have no choice but to blindfold her.
When they arrive at this warehouse the kidnappers take off her blindfold and start getting aggressive.
We don't actually see the gang rape happen but the audience can tell because of the aftermath. Leah's on the floor, alone, her face makeup ruined by her tears. She's in desperate need of help. She finds her phone on the floor and calls the police, unaware of her surroundings, they find her in a horrific state. They take her back to the police station and call a family member. Then the scene goes back to present tense when she's in the car, contemplating her life decisions.
If I had longer than 3 minutes I would show her getting reunited with her family and breaking down in front of them, apologising for her past mistakes. I would go into detail about how she got into that state.
