Initial Ideas for my Practical Production

The Runaway
1. A young girl is being abused by her boyfriend and she's terrified of him. He expects too much of her, such as his tea to always be ready on the table when he gets home, even though he gets home at varying times each day, and she is physically punished when she gets things wrong. As she's too scared to tell anyone close to her, incase he finds out and punishes her for it, she creates a vlog on a website, as she thinks her boyfriend will never check. She posts videos explaining what's happened to her each day because of him, and her feelings about the situations, which are normally that she's scared and doesn't know what to do.
  1. Then one day, an account starts commenting on her vlogs giving her advice. She has no idea who's behind the blog, but as she can't talk to anyone else about her situation, she takes the advice on board, except the advice is not good advice; the account advises her to stay quiet about the abuse because she loves her boyfriend deep down and she shouldn't cause trouble for him just because she can't behave. They suggest trying to please him more, rather than running away from the problem.
    1. Although the young girl tries to take the advice, it all becomes too much and she posts a dramatic post about having to tell someone in the real world to get proper help, or end it all that day. That's when it's revealed that the account is actually her boyfriend, and there's a dramatic cut from her sat in front of the webcam and him sat behind a computer in another unspecified location.
2. Good points
  1. Can make good use of makeup skills
  2. Gripping
  3. Unexpected twist
3. What would make it difficult
  1. Would be difficult to show off filming skills as only basic eye-level close-ups would be required for most shots
  2. Would need an extremely talented actor and actress
Missing
1. A girl is found on the moors wearing very thin clothing, wet through by an old gentleman passing by in his campervan. He pulls up and asks her if she's okay, before giving her his coat and instructing her to get in so that he can take her somewhere warmer and safer.
  1. He asks her where she wants to go, and she says she wants to go home because she's really missing her dad because it's always been just her and her dad, although it's not explained at this point why.
    1. The old gentleman drives her home and sees that she gets into her house okay, before realising that she still wearing his coat, so he goes and knocks on the door to get it back, except it's not the girl who he just met that answers, it's her father.
      1. The old gentleman is surprised, but explains the situation to the father who's mood suddenly becomes odd. "Is this a joke?!" he asks him angrily, before explaining that his daughter went missing two years ago, and was found dead on the moors weeks afterwards
        The father breaks down, and the old gentleman tries to comfort him, despite his own disbelief. The father then invites him in and they sit and have a cup of tea whilst they talk about what's happened. The old gentleman explains what the girl was saying about missing her father, which gives him some comfort.
        The old gentleman decides that he wants to see her grave for himself, and so he asks where he can find it. The father tells him and he drives over there. When he reaches her gravestone, he finds his coat hung over it.
2. Good points
  1. Have access to actors and actresses that fit into the age groups of all three characters
  2. Have access to a campervan
  3. Can make good use of local locations such as Ilkley moor
  4. Gripping and unpredictable storyline
3. What would make it difficult
  1. We would have to film in the dark
    1. But we could use different camera modes and editing techniques to help us
  2. We would have to film in the campervan, and a lot of the filming equipment is big and bulky
    1. We can use different camera angles and techniques to get around this issue
The Blind Date
1. A man and a woman are set up on a blind date by friends, except they're complete opposites and the date turns into an absolute disaster
  1. He's half an hour late, whereas she's half an hour early
    1. He's a meat lover, whereas she's vegetarain
      1. She's constantly on her phone, whereas he's not interested in technology
  2. Ends up with one of them walking out
  3. Extremely awkward
2. Good points
  1. Easy to film
  2. Only need two main characters
  3. Makes use of binary opposites
3. Bad Points
  1. Could be boring
  2. Basic plot needs adding to
