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.
