First draft of synopsis-Notes

  • There was a strong sense of dilemma in the story but it was not relatable or recognisable enough to the audience.
  • We came up with a new idea, concerning similar issues, such as how youth/hoodie culture is represented in media and how we are made socially aware of this in our everyday lives-especially for teenagers.
  • Ideas for new story:
  • Late at night-about quarter past 12 at a bus stop
  • Teenager about 18 or 19 smoking a cigarette.
  • A younger teenager about 15 comes in to bus stop-listening to music.
  • They both have a similar taste in music
  • Older boy hears it and begins to listen.
  • He recognises the tune-small amount of acknowledgement  between the two.
  • Youth walks into bus stop and sits between the two.
  • Checks his cigarettes-takes one out.
  • He realises he does not have a lighter-looks older boy and decides to ask for a lighter.
  • He takes out packet with no cigarettes-just a lighter and throws packet on the floor.
  • Hoddie offers him a cigarette.
  • He takes it.
  • They acknowledge each other.
  • Bus arrives.
  • Older boy enters with oyster.
  • Hoodie enters with oyster
  • 15 year old scrabbles for change
  • You get on top deck-there is a group of the Hoodie’s friends on the bus.
  • The group give you hassle
  • The Hoodie says to leave it out.
  • 15 year old sits at the front.
  • The group begin to taunt and insult him.
  • !8 year old makes eye contact with both the Hoodie and the 15 year old-sensing tension. 
  Links to 'Marlyn Milgrom's-The Script' text:
  • After re drafting and changing my idea, I went through it with a tutor and applied to Marlyn Milgrom's advice on writing a script.
  • Here we have more of an 'instantly recognisable world'. --> The group of youth's on public transport, all in tracksuits: A common stereotype seen throughout the media and news.
  • Marlyn Milgrom gives a five point plan on developing a character and problem in your script, here it is applied to my synopsis/script: 1. Who is the main character: Terry (The Hoodie)
