A quick synopsis

The main theme behind my short film is the idea of someone being bullied and it explores the idea that the way someone enjoys themselves (in this case the main character playing a game aimed at children) can be changed depending on the people they are friends with outside of that environment, the film starts off with a general routine of making youtube videos for youtube  about his hobby and they way the main characters life is mainly on youtube and how important the videos are to him as they make him happy, at this point its introduced that the main character is getting ready for a big event which could change his life as the prize money amounts to a large sum, however all he has to do to get the money is to win the event. This all seems good and simple as he then prepares to do a video at his school as he introduces the way of how he will win, this is cut short as the agent of change enters, a friend from school enters the shot and bullies the main character taking the winning cards away and ripping them up, this later on leads to a greif scene where the main character talks to youtube apologising about what will happen and that he has to sort something out. The way the film then develops is by developing the point that working with the so called bully may actually help him, by borrowing the money he needs to replace the cards that where ripped up, another dilemma is then caused as the main character is then put under pressure for winning as a threat is then introduced, the following shots then show the character under stress and questioning how good things are going. In the final scene the bully enters smashing up the surrounding area with a weapon of some kind (sporting equipment) and then proceeds to the main character where things could go wrong, the climax ends in the money being replaced and equilibrium is then restored.
