Title: 'Colours' i have chosen the title 'Colours' because the first short film we are making is about the different races in the British society today and how there is still racism about and the outcomes of this.
Babatunday Tudu is a British African boy who lives in Essex a white populated area, he starts secondary school however has the worst first day ever. He receives racial abuse from his class mates constantly, although the teacher tries to stop this abuse there is only so much they can do. After his first week in the school Babatunday is frightened and scared and seeks advice in a pupil that to his knowledge he trusts. This pupil is also a racist but does not physically show it by bullying 'Babs' he instead tells him that he should not stand for it and fight Derick Turner the leading bully. Derick is white and loves his nation as his heritage is fully White English. He has many older brothers who are also racists and believe it should only be a white country. The next day the bullying continues however 'Babs' just follows what he was told to do beats up Derick. That same day Derick's brothers chase 'Babs' after school with obvious intentions of killing him however he does get away. 'Babs' runs home and kills himself as the fear that his colour would get him killed anyway and wanted to end a life before it had begun. Clear educational message that none deserves to get that torment because of their race.
