Detailed Story:
A young girl who's group of friends are growing up a lot faster than he is ready for. She has grown up with only her father. Her mother died of cancer three years ago. Her father wants to love her more but struggles to get her affection. She goes out to relive the stress and relax. She goes out the first night to a house party. Here we as the audience discover her characterisation as it is exposed and we see the sort of person she is. The next weekend when she goes out again we see her fatal flaw of easily giving into peer pressure and trying to seem cool amongst her friends. The next day she is the one who asks to go out. Her nature of wanting to fit in is getting the better of her. She goes to the moor with the characters Joe and Austin and takes another pill. She overdoses on the pills and runs onto the road.

Idea 2 -
Title:
Running Time: No longer than 10 minutes
Genre: Thriller
Target Audience: 15 and above
LogLine: Keeps your brothers close, but your enemies closer
Potensial Cast:
Four Soldiers,
A group of enemy soldiers
Order of Events:
- Soldiers out on patrol
- A gun shot is fired, one soldier dies
- They are pinned down
- Run out of ammunition
- They all end up dying trying to fight the enemy
Plot Points:
- They are pinned down and can't see the enemy
-They run out of ammo and hold fire
Character Profiles:
Soldiers- All good friends, different characters. Funny one, main character on the mission, and the radio man. Forth dies before we get to know him
Soldier Backgrounds:
All of the soldiers have been set out on patrol. In the base every day the role of patrol changes between the privates. Alongside each patrol group is a commanding officer who gives orders to them and keeps the soldiers in line. Its just a normal day as the troop set out on their patrol, soon they find out things are going wrong when the radio fails as the base tried to contact them. One of the soldiers who is holding the radio keeps trying to make contact with the base but it's distorted and keeps failing. The men are tired from the long war they have been fighting against the rebels. The war has been going on for 10 years. There's been fighting in deserts, jungles and forests but now the battalion have been assigned to fight in the swamps and moor land. The rebels have been hiding and making camps near the base so the patrol is scouting out for any movement - but they are not ready for the ambush that they face.
Detailed Story:
The very end of a film, a group of 3 army soldiers are pinned down by enemy fire. They are ultimately going to die. Their radios are down, they are running low on ammunition, there is no escape. In the end when they realise the end is near, they hold fire and sit it out behind the wall they are hiding behind. They each share stories of the times they had with each other, and remember about what they've been through. They stay with each other until the end. The main character is the last to survive and we have a shot of him lying on the ground, breathing out, looking up to the sky, accepting his fate.

Film Idea
Script Idea 3 Development
- The film follows a young boy of around 16, 17 who's friends a growing up and becoming far mature than him. He is dragged into a new world but joins in with everything the others do just to fit in. The film follows the same teen through part of his school life and what he chooses to prioritise i.e. going out instead of school work. We see his life tear apart, he starts to argue with his parents and fails to make deadlines for school.
I would like music to be a big part of my film

Star Wars The Last Jedi
The new trailer for Star Wars The Last Jedi.
I saw this and after watching the previous star wars film The Force Awakens which I very much enjoyed. I thought this trailer for the new film was brilliant. There was a lot of intensity involved which gripped me throughout. There was also a reappearance of the ATAT's. And it seems that the infamous Kylo Ren returns and deals a lot of damage.
