Final Synopsis
Title: 'Deception'
Barry is a 40 year old male that has created a fake alternative life that he chooses to pursue. A fake Facebook of a younger more attractive male is what he has created to lure young girls as he is a pedophile. He comes across a Facebook who belongs to a girl called Vanessa. Vanessa being young and innocent teenage 14 year old girl accepts this add. They both Facebook each other during the on coming week, they finally exchange numbers and decide to meet. She never knew it was a deception and embarked on a mission to meet him in a local park. He notices its the girl he seen on Facebook and kidnaps and rapes her. Then he starts the cycle again with another victim.
This was perfect because we could utilize the key conventions of short films Incorporated into our production as we have a circular narrative it sticks to the educational purpose we are trying to achieve and is suited for our target audience.

Short film planning Synopsis 3
Title: 'Deception'- I chose this title because it is about a online pedophile that chooses to be a younger male someone that is not him to lure young girls into his evil trap however with a plot twist a couple of boys are onto this and want to find these men so make a fake girl account so it is deceiving in both senses.
A online pedophile called Barry is again on a hunt on Facebook for new victims, he comes across a 'girl' called Vanessa. He adds her as a friend and talks to her trying to befriend her however this is not a girl but instead two teenage males. After exchanging numbers and talking for a while the boys Chris and Jamie decide to send a text to meet up and Barry accepts. When the meeting is arranged to Barry's shock he has been caught out as the meeting place in a park are also were the boys are, the boys ring the number and see Barry pick up and knew he made a fake account to lure young victims in and Barry now faces prison.
During the thinking process of this synopsis we knew it would not work because of many reasons. There was already a film like this called Catfish and it doesn't tackle the controversial issue head on as the boys are not in danger and get away with it. however this could be changed around to produce a synopsis that is ideal for our short film and target audience.

Short film planning Synopsis 1
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.
