Silent Cry- Script
SILENT CRY
Love Shouldn’t Hurt
Voiceover
Lizzie sitting on the bed whilst the voice over is going on. Every time there is a voiceover, the shot where lizzie is on the bed shows in the fram
‘I need him’, is what I always say, sounds cliché to some, but it is real with me! I am an orphan, I am alone, and who else can I turn to?
I’d watch him leave as he goes to do what ever it is he does and leaves me to cover the bruises of the damage he did, I would put on make up to cover up the cracks, some may not be visible but inside I can see and feel them. I hid up in this facade called make up it makes me feel like a normal beautiful woman.
We were once happy, in love and content with each other. We would stay up and watch movies all night long…. That s just how our relationship was, no big fuss… just us.
ACTION: Whilst the voiceover is playing Camille and Carnell are watching TV together
Voiceover: What changed? What demon entered him? He isn’t the same guy he said he was. Was I foolish then? Or just an easy target for him?
Voiceover: I’d staying bed all day hoping and praying the next day doesn’t come back, I’m tired of being the woman he wants to sleep with but doesn’t want to be with. Once he walks out the door I feel like a whole weight has been lifted off… I finally feel like I can breath, but the second he walks back in, the facade is over!
Voiceover: I love him and I don’t want to lose him. This is why even with everything being so bad I still try my best with him. Where would I go, who would I turn to?
Voiceover: Sometimes he would come home and everything is fine.
Then he just switches from good Carnell to monstrous Carnell.
Fade to black
ACTION: Camille opens the door for him and they embrace in a hug. CAMILLE breaks that embrace as she felt naturally to do so.
They walk to the kitchen
Voiceover: I would make him food; the Carnell I knew would eat the food and offer me some, but now? He acts like the food I’ve made him is poisonous. Rather him eating it, he would throw it back in my face…literally.
ACTION:
Camille gives him is food.
CARNELL: (Silence) (He stands up from the table holding his food and throws it at CAMILLE)
CAMILLE: (Shouts in pain)
Voiceover: Sometimes when I think of the things he’s done… I just sit and cr.
Fade to black
ACTION
CARNELL: walks into the house to find Camille sleeping on the couch.
He has a disgusted look on his face and without hesitation he slaps Camille awake.
Camille wakes immediately
Voice over:
Yes it’s that serious. He does that all the time. I hardly sleep when he’s home because of the fear I live in, I walk on egg shells around him. This is why I try to get as much sleep as I can during the day when he’s not home.
Enough is enough; I need to go otherwise I will die. I’d rather die in peace than in pain.
ACTION: Camille packs a bag the night before and the next day when Carnell goes to work, Camille waits an hour
Voiceover: I’ve planned everything; I will leave when he goes out, I have my bag packed and ready from yesterday. I am escaping. I woke up done everything the same, but as soon as he walks through that door I’m waiting an hour then I’m leaving never to come back.
1hour later
Voiceover: With Adrenaline rushing through me, I got the confidence to leave. When I got my back and everything I felt I needed I took my chance and left. I left because if I didn’t he would kill me one day, I am a woman with willpower! Enough is Enough.
ACTION: Camille walks out the house without a second glance.
Voiceover:
Opportunity doesn’t come and find a person, the person has to create it themselves
CREATE them! SEEK HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE!

Final Poster!
After receiving
a lot of feedback from my teacher and some of my friends about my poster ideas,
I have gathered the information they have given to me, and i finally decided to
use the actual character from my film as the image in the poster; this is because
it looks more realistic and also more believable to the audiences, especially
my target audience.
Sunday, 14 April 2013
Poster Idea #2
I really
like this poster because; the image explains a lot to the viewers without them
actually having to watch the film. By looking at it they know already that the
film is based on domestic violence. I decided to use a white background with
white text because it’s a lot easier to read and see everything that is going
on.

Radio Adverts Analysis
It was very
hard to find a Radio Advert based on domestic violence, but I did find some
that were about other media
platforms.
The is a radio advert for Wonga.com. Fitting in with
the code and conventions of what makes
a successful radio advert, this Ad goes
on for exactly 42 seconds, the
background music in this advert was made to get the attention of the listeners,
and also it’s catchy so it sticks in their heads after the advert. The aim of
the advert is to inform the listeners and also provide the essential
information the listeners need, it doesn't give out too much information on
what they do, and this allows the audience to create a visual image and also
makes them want to try it out.

Incorporating The Conventions In My Radio Ad.
Average
Length
When making my radio
advert, I will put my timing into consideration. This Is because most radio
adverts go on for about 30-50 seconds, if the advert was any longer the
attention span of the listener would have faded which might in some cases lead
them to change the station. As I don’t want to lose the attention of the
listeners I will be leaving my advert at 40 seconds or 45 seconds at the most.
Voice-over Narration
My radio advert voice-over will feature a male voice talking about the film. Linking back to the research
I have done on radio ad’s I have learnt that the voice-over of the radio ad
needs to have the 5w’s, which include: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
Who: the voice-over will tell the listeners who the Ad is aimed at.
What: the phrase should help my audience with the
understanding they need to know what the film will be about.
When: the voice-over will inform the listeners when
my film will be available to be viewed and also the YouTube channel it will be
on. It will also include additional information such as the film won’t be
distributed like other blockbuster film.
Where:
the links to my finished
product will be available to view on social networking sites such as: Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram etc.
Why: at some point during the radio advert, the voice-over will tell the listeners the film was made to create awareness for
young couples in abusive and violent relationships because there isn't a lot of
attention paid to that area. And young people who find themselves in that
situation might not know what to do or how to get out of it. It will inform
them that the video is for them.
Music:
I will be
using a music bed; this won’t be played until the end of the advert. My music
choice is going to be the instrumental of Ed Sheeran- Give Me Love, it won’t be
too loud, just enough for the listeners to hear it playing and allowing them to hear the voiceover speaking.

Research Into Radio Adverts.
Codes and conventions of Radio Advertisements
There are various types of Advertising in any
media platform. Advertising makes the particular media text that is being
advertised more popular and allows the audiences to be more aware of the actual
product.
As part of my brief, I will create a radio advertisement;
this is to create buzz and excitement for those that listen to the radio,
especially my target audience.
Before actually making the radio advert I have
decided to do some research into the Codes and Conventions of Radio
Advertising, and the features include:
- The advert for whatever media text it is needs to be advertised on well known Radio stations. For example: BBC Radio, LBC, Heart etc.
- The product being advertised should always be made known, clear and understandable for the listeners, if this isn’t done the audience won’t be able to understand or even relate to the subject and importance of the advert.
- The advertisement should last between 30-50seconds approximately, this is usually a good amount of time as the listeners/audience could get bored and tune themselves off.
- There should always be a background music, this gives it a more friendly and entertaining atmosphere for those listening.
- As a cliffhanger, there should be an unanswered question asked relating to the product being advertised, the question should be simple and shouldn’t give too much information away. This is for the audience to have something for their minds to linger on.

Characters Profile
Carnell
is 20 years old, attends university every other day, dedicated and hard worker,
he works hard so he can maintain a good living for himself, he lives with his girlfriend
he met a year ago. Carnell is a caring, loving and kind individual. He truly loves
his girlfriend, he always wants to be there to care for her and protect her
when she needs him, but sometimes he goes overboard with his over protective
ways. He enjoys going out and having fun with his friends, he also likes
spending time with his girlfriend when he isn't busy with Uni work. As well as
having positive attributes, he also has some negative attributes such he is: easily
aggravated/angered, always wanting things done his way and no other way.
Camille

with no family members to lean on for support. After being in and out of foster
homes, she gave up on all her dreams hope and ambitions. She started getting
into trouble with the police and got herself caught up in a bad crowd. With everything
she faces, Camille is a very easy going young lady, she’s kind respectful and caring,
she can be very gullible and naïve sometimes. After a while of sleeping rough
and staying with a couple of her friends, she met Carnell and things for her
changed from then on, Carnell took her
in and made her happy again, he protected her and gave her warmth. They were
both happy together until things started going wrong between them, as we will
find out in the film. Does she get out before it’s too late?

Finalised Film Idea- 'Silent Cry'
My film is going to start off with my
production name and logo, and then it’s going to a shot of the female character
sitting on the bed, then it fades to black, whilst the name of the film comes
up (Silent Cry).
The voiceover comes in immediately and it plays the scenes in
the film are corresponding with what’s going on.
She will explain how she is an orphan with no one to turn to for
help. She lives with her boyfriend of two years. When she met him he promised
to change her life, he promised he will make her happy and she will never want
for anything, being naive and young she fell for him and soon after they
started living together. They were happy together, she cooked and cleaned for
him, he bought whatever she wanted and more. They were happy and she thought it
would stay like that forever until everything took a turn for the worse. He
starts by telling her not to go out and when she did she had to be home at a
certain time, she stopped college because she felt she had everything, with
that action she has no qualification to get herself a job or support herself
financially, so she relies on him and with her gullible and naive thinking, she
feels he wants the best for her so she complies with all he says and all he
asks her to do.
As the months went on, things started to get heated between
them. Their relationship wasn't like it used to be, he would shout at
her suddenly for no exact reason or push her out of the way if he feels
she isn't doing what she’s doing right, this went on for a couple
more weeks until one day he came back home from Uni and meet her asleep on the
sofa in the living room, he get angry and slaps her awake, this is where her
abuse began. He would come home every day and find a reason to hit her or shout
at her. This went on for months and months, she didn't know what to do, she had
no friends to turn to or family to live with, she would cry herself to sleep
silently most night; (this is where i
got the idea to name my film ‘Silent Cry’), she felt trapped and enslaved.
She wanted to leave but she had nowhere to go.
As time and the abuse went on she decided that she needed to
leave the abuse, the violence, her unhappy state was taking over her life,
she was living in fear and she didn't want that for herself anymore. She knew
she had to stand up to him or leave when he was out, she took the easy option and
decided to leave when he left for uni one morning. She packed all her
necessities and hid it under the bed, when he left that morning she waited
about an hour before she decided it was time. She left without looking back at
the house she just kept going and going.
As the film comes to an end there is a shot of help lines and
emergency contact numbers for those who suffer or know anyone in a violent
relationship.
Camera
Shots
· I will use a Wide shot at the beginning of the movie
to show the
girl’s bedroom and everything around her. And also to show the thinking
position she’s sitting in.
· I will zoom in on my main
character’s face most of the time; this is to show her facial expressions.
· I will use mostly establishing shots when the scenes
the girl is remembering is showing, this is to show the environment they are
in.
Editing:
·
I will be using the ‘Dip to Black’ effect to move from one scene
to the other.
·
I will also be using a ‘Cross-Dissolve’ effect, whilst the male
character is hitting the female character with his belt.
·
Over the shoulder shot will be used whilst he female character
is checking her bruises in the mirror.
Setting
· The film is going to be set in One house, both
character’s house, their bedroom, the sitting room and their kitchen
Costumes:
· The costumes both characters will be wearing will be
very contemporary.
·
For
the male character he’s going to be wearing the normal jeans and tracksuit,
hoddie, with timberlands.
·
For
the female character she’s going to be wearing jeans, normal tops with
flip-flops this is because she’s in the house most of the time she feels she
doesn’t need to dress fancy.
Possible Characters Idea
-Male
character:- black boy, large bodied, average height and muscular, with
masculine features.
-Female
character:- black girl, average sized, tired looking, indifferent facial
expressions, messy hair, dark circles under her eyes.
My Personal Reflections On All Three Video Analysis.
-Domestic Violence Part 1 Kmedia Film
Analysis#2-
Eminem Ft Rihanna- Love The Way You Lie
Analysis-Domestic
Violence#3
I feel that of three videos is a true reflection of what goes on behind closed doors of some couples that live together young or old. The fact that the videos had young characters, made the message they were trying to convey more realistic and also more believable to the audience watching and most especially their target audience. The female characters’ being attractive also links to the ‘Laura Mulvey The Male Gaze Theory’.
I think the producers of all three videos must have put this theory into consideration, because they don’t just want to get the attention of females they also want to get the attention of males as well, and they only way they could do this is by putting and attractive female at the centre of the message they are trying to send. This action made the videos successful with the awareness they were trying to create and also in gaining the attention of both male and female viewers.
Analysis-Domestic Violence#3
This is one of the
most inspirational and powerful Domestic Violence awareness Ad I've seen so far, it creates a sense of performance within the
character’s life but yet there is no one, not even a director to say ‘cut’ to
signify the end of the torture she’s facing.
It starts with an
establishing shot of the woman at her place of work; this gives the audience an
idea that this whole Ad is based on her.
She is presented to be a lovely lady, and gets along with her work colleagues,
this is shown when she finishes on set
and is on her way home, a man stops her
to tell her how great she was on t set, she accepts the compliment with a smile
on her face. Then there is a long shot,
showing the whole set up drama stage where she works whilst she runs to her
car, she is presented to be running as thou she is late for something (a
meeting?).
It then cuts to when she’s in the car driving home, there is a
close-up shot of her wiping her make-up off, this gives the audience a funny
feeling as to why she is wiping her make-up off in the car(Enigma Code). Another
shot in this short film is a low angle shot, this is the shot after the lady
parks her car, and she looks up to her apartment and there is a shadow of a
body built man standing looking down at her through the window. This shot could
symbolise the male being dominant and having power over her, whilst the female
character is presented as weak, feeble and vulnerable, there is also an
expression of fear in her eyes as she looks up at him.
Analysis#2- Eminem Ft Rihanna- Love The Way You Lie
This is not a film, but it is one of my favourite
Rhianna songs. The homely mise en scene within the video is similar to how I
plan for my production to be, the dark, gloomy setting creates a trapped feeling
for the character as they feel there is no escape.
The video illustrates the different perspectives
and roles of both the boy and girl in a relationship. It shows the difference
between two opposite genders (Levi-Strauss’s theory will describe the whole
video as a conflict between two binary oppositions).
The video starts with a close up shot of Rhianna;
this automatically gains the attention of the viewers. The female character’s feeling
is presented through Rhianna’s voice whilst the visual helps the audience understand
what is going on in the video and also the meaning of the song.
As Rhianna continues to sing, there is a cross
cut to a girl and her boyfriend sleeping on the bed and there is also another cross
cut to the same girl sitting in the sitting room with fire in her hand, the
fire connotes the girl’s state of mind, which also links back to the beginning of
the song where Rhianna starts singing, there is fire in the background, this
could represent a sense of destruction, chaos and war the girl or the female viewers
feel when they know their partner is cheating on them.
The fire gives a literal meaning to the lyrics
of the song where sings “Just gonna stand there and watch me burn”. Back to the
scene of the bed, the female character suddenly opens her eyes, then Eminem’s aggressive
voice breaks in, his voice represents the male character’s feelings, his lyrics
fits in with the visuals, this is shown when the boy is pushing himself to her in a forceful
and aggressive manner, trying to convince her of what she’s thinking. Then she tries to push past him but he’s not allowing her, he gets really angry and
punches the wall right next to her face, as this is going on the lyrics correspond
to it when Eminem raps “ I laid hands on her, never stoop so low again. you know when you love somebody so much you can barely breath, have that
warm fuzzy feeling, getting chills, you now getting f***ing sick of looking at
them” this shows that at the beginning of their relationship the two characters
were well and truly in love, but now looking at her irritates him, and they
have ended up in an abusive relationship.
Although my
production isn't a music video, this is similar to the idea I had for my film. The
main characters in my film start off
with a loving, caring and violent free relationship then all of a sudden the
guy changes just as the guy in this music video did, he doesn't care for her as
much as he used to, he is violent towards her, the spark that they had is now
gone.
I love the
song and the video this is because it has a story line just like a short film; I
never get board of watching or listening to it. It tells a story both visually
and for those listening as well, and if a person is watching and listening at
the same time the video fully relates to what is being said in the lyrics.
Analysis#1- Domestic Violence Part 1 Kmedia Film
Whilst I was doing my research on domestic violence a while
ago, I came across this online episode based on an aggressive and violent behaviour in relationships. It was directed
by Kore jakpor & Luntu Masiza. The episode is about a young couple living together for 2 years and
counting, the guy(Daren) has been using the girl (Rachel) as his punching bag
for a while. He puts her down emotionally and mentally, he makes her feel like
she isn't any good, nothing she does around the house is ever good enough for
him. In the first episode he is presented to be over dominant, aggressive,
violent and rude.
The episode starts
with an establishing shot of Rachel in the kitchen doing the dishes, this
automatically gives the viewer an idea the episode is going to be based on her.
Being the only character in the frame, brings a sense to the audience that
something is about to happen, it could either be good or bad, in this case it is bad,
because soon after her boyfriend comes in
and her facial expression changes from its neutral state to her looking
irritated and scared at the same time. The tension builds up as they start
talking over each other and they tone of voice gets louder, they Daren seems to
have had enough of shouting, he grabs her by the neck and shoves the crusts of
the bread he had in her mouth then pushes her against the wall. The music
playing in the background represents almost how Rachel’s feeling; she feels
.lost, unhappy and used.
This online episode
has helped and given more inspiration on what I want my final product to be.

Developed Idea
Looking back at my first film idea, I have decided to change some things and keep some things the same. Following the idea Domestic Violence, I've decided to change the opening of the film.
I have decided in order to appeal to my target audience more, at the start of my film I going to merge some scenes from ‘The Blind Eye Campaign’ and the ‘Keira Knightley’s women’s Aid Domestic Violence Advert’ together to show some of the different situations Domestic Violence can take place in. This is to give my target audience an idea of what to expect, and for those who are watching that aren’t within my target audience demographic, this would give them an idea of what my film is based on and the objective of it; which is to create awareness.
Sunday, 17 March 2013
Developed Film Idea
The main idea for my film
production revolves around the idea of Domestic Violence in relationships. One of
the ideas i had for my film production is about a girl with no family, or
anyone to turn to, she is in and out of foster homes due to her quick temper
and bad behaviour. But all that changes when she finally meets a guy that can
change her life. He presents himself to her to be a nice guy that can provide
her with a stable home, warmth and love. Being very gullible and naive she agrees
to date the guy and they take their relationship to the next level when he asks
her to move in with him so he can fulfil all his promises to her. They have
been living together for about 2 years now, she is 18 and they guy is 20,
things have been going exceptionally well for her, she’s happy, she’s stable
and most of all she thinks she found the man of her dreams; until everything
gradually starts taking a turn for the worst and her world is turned upside
down.
He starts telling her
not to hang out with her friends, and when she does go out, he makes her have
curfew, he stops her from going to college, which leads her to failing her
exams and having no qualifications to support herself. All this goes on but she
thinks he wants the best for her so she complies with everything he does and
says to her. As the months went on, things started to get heated between them. Their
relationship wasn't like it used to be, he would shout at her suddenly for no exact
reason or push her out of the way if he feels she isn't doing what she’s doing
right, this went on for a couple more weeks until one day he came back home
from Uni and meet her asleep on the sofa in the living room, he get angry and
slaps her awake, this is where her abuse begins. He would come home every day
and find a reason to hit her or shout at her. This went on for months and
months, she didn’t know what to do, she had no friends to turn to or family to live
with, she felt trapped and enslaved. She wanted to leave but she had nowhere to
go.
About My Film Production
I am currently developing my
synopsis of my short film. I've put a lot of thought into what I want my
production to be about and the message I want to send out to the viewers
especially my target audience. I have decided to make my film based on the idea
of ‘Domestic Violence’ in relationships with young adults. It took a lot for me
to actually decide to do this, but I thought about and realized that there isn't a lot of awareness about domestic violence within young relationships. A
lot of teenagers and some young adults I have come across believe that domestic
violence only happens with older people or married couples with dysfunctional
families. I want my production to create awareness and also allow anyone that
views it to be able to relate to it. It might not be perfect, but the main
message I want to try to deliver to whoever it is that is watching is giving
them an idea of the sign and what it is to look out for if they are or know
anyone that is in an abusive relationship especially young teenagers who are
unaware of the indicators of being trapped and being in an abusive relationship
they can’t get out of.

Target Audience Profile
I have decided that the main Demographic for my film production is going to be 15-18 year olds. I decided on this group of people to be my target audience because when I did my questionnaire I found out that the majority of this age group are aware of short films and they know what to expect for my film production. The reason I have decided to make the age group for my target audience 15- 18 years old, is because I know the content of my film won’t be suitable for anyone under these age group.
Another reason for this decision is that my film production has roughly the same aged characters; I think this will make it easier for my audience to relate to and also it also makes it more understandable. The psychographics of my target audience would be secondary school kids, or young adults in college or University, this is because they are more mature and more aware and educated on things that are happening in society.
For my production I think the most suitable BBFC would be a 15. This is because my film has some scenes of violence in it. According to the BBFC no-one under the age of 15 is allowed to see a 15 rated film.

Ethnicity:
For my production the main ethnicity is going to be Black British, but I will also be having other ethnicities play some roles. By doing this I feel my production will appeal more to a wider range of audiences with different ethic backgrounds. Not only appealing to audiences of different ethnic backgrounds, I want my film production to portray the idea that everyone in society is equal, and it’s not a matter of race, gender or ethnic backgrounds, it about treating people with respect and dignity.
Gender:
Due to the content and storyline of my film, it would appeal to both male and female audiences. This is very vital as it creates awareness of what my film would be about; which is domestic violence. To attract male audiences I would be using an attractive female character, also there will be some fast paced scenes which would create some excitement for the male audience/viewers. To appeal to the female audience, the male protagonist in my film will be presented as a mean and violent person, and the female character is presented to be a survivor because she finds a way to escape from him and makes something better of her life.
This also links to theory of the ‘Male Gaze’ by Laura Mulvey. The concept of the gaze is one that deals with how an audience views the characters that are presented in any media text. For feminists it can be thought of in 3 ways: How men look at women, how women look at themselves how women look at other women. For my film it will be how the male and female characters are looked at.

Socio- Economic Group:
I think my film would appeal to the lower-middle class group; this is because in short films industry there is a low budget, this would very much appeal to them.

Questionnaire Results - Analysis
1) What is your gender?
I gave my questionnaire to 10 teenagers, i made this choice because they are my target audience and it would be beneficial for me to know more about them. I gave my questionnaire out randomly without controlling how many boys or girls took part in the questionnaire.
2) What is your age group?
For the second question, I decided to control the amount of people taking part in the questionnaire in each age group so that I could see if there was a distinction between the different age groups and their preferences.
3)Are you aware of short films?
I asked this question to find out if out of the people I gave my questionnaire to, if any of them were aware of short films or if they had any idea about them. And from the collation of the data, if was I really pleased that put of a possible 10, 9 people were aware of short films.
4) Have you ever watched a short film?
With this question majority of the teenage adults I gave my questionnaire to have watched a short film, which will be really helpful and relevant for me, this is because I will be creating a short film and them knowing and also being aware of it means they know what to expect from mine.
5) If so, how often to you watch them?
Most of the people that answered my questionnaires, don’t really watch short films as often as I thought they would, this would be due to various reasons such as: them being in school/college or them doing coursework.
6) Which do you think is more important?
I asked this question to find out if there was a popular preference with young adults when they watch a film. And the most popular preference was the ‘storyline’; I think this is because they want to be captivated with the story in order to feel some sort of connection with the plot/story of the film.
7) What camera shots would you prefer to see in a short film?
Camera work in any film is very important. This is why I asked the people the type of shots they would prefer to see in a short film. 55%of the people chose ‘Artistically shot’ camera shots, whilst the other 45% said they preferred ‘Simple shot’.
8) What is your favourite film Genre?
Every individual have preferences on the types of genre they would prefer watching. Form the data I collected, it shows most teenagers enjoy watching films with comedy as their genre. This could be because they enjoy the humour and excitement they get from it. Due to the storyline of my film, it is going to fall in the Drama genre. I hope it appeals to other people that watch it.
9) How often do you go to the cinema?
There are various places people go to watch films such as theatre etc. I chose to find out how often young adults visit the cinema. And from the information I have gathered I can tell that young teenagers go to the cinema 2-3 times in a month.
10) How do you find out about new films?
41% of the people answered that they find out about new films through both the internet and television, whilst the other percentage find out about new films though other media platforms such as: magazines, and film posters. This is very helpful for me because it shows that young adults of this generation are in tune with the media and are up to date on how film producers use different media platforms to advertise their production. This shows that my target audience will be more interested in my film, this is because i will be posting my finished production on the internet for those with technology devices to be able to access, i also be having a film poster for those who don’t go on the internet regularly.
11) Do you watch films on the internet?
Majority of the answer to this question was a ‘Yes’. This is because the find it easier just to open their laptops or just use their mobile phone to watch whatever film they want, some think buying a DVD for like £10 is too much when they can just watch it on the internet.
