SYNOPSIS
A man is in a manic depressive state after his life drastically collapses. Being in serious debt, his house in the process of being repossessed, and knowing those he dearly loves are no longer around him he is on the fringes of making the uneasy desicion of bringing his life to peace. After deep thoughts about his life and why he is at his present state will he attempt mend it for the better or the worse?
TARGET AUDIENCE
The film is mainly targeted towards young adults (age 16-28) as they are more likely to make wrong decisions with money handling that can disorientate their lives. However the film can appeal for any person of any age as these problems can strike practically anyone.
The main social class this can appeal to is the working class and underclass. It more appeals to the working class because this social band includes:
.Students
.Unemployed
.Young Parents
These group of people are most likely to be able to relate with the strugggle which the main characeter faces. Mainly the unemployed as the main character is unemployed and students as they generally have small sources of income
In regards to those in the working class, they earn lower wages so would understand the difficulty of maintaining life with low income.
PURPOSE
To entertain its audience. The sad narrative will spark different emotional states within the audience and they may become attached with the main character. Reason being is that, within the five minutes of the film you will see the clinical points in his life where he falls from a comfortable position.
It is also to show people that even one wrong desicion can change your life. By using a fictional character and showing his bad state it may encourage people to take more care with money, relationships and general living. If the unemployed watch this it may encourage them to better their lives and not jump to critical desicions similar to what the main character does.
As it is a short movie it wouldn't be marketable via multi-lex cinemas, dvd/blu-rays etc. Therefore instead of making the film with the intentions of earning an income the more sensible option would be to use it for educational purposes. It could be used in colleges to show students what drug use, and other small mistakes can create a massive change in a persons life.
It could also be viewed in independent art houses such as BFI South Bank, and screened in various short film festivals such as Wood Green International Short Film Festival & London Film Festival
