I intend to make a short film which highlights the complicated and tumultuous nature of teenage friendships. I want to focus on creating a relatable piece of work, which will allow my audience to understand and engage with the vulnerability, adversity and melancholy that often arises within relationships between teenage girls. I hope to centre my film around an unhealthy friendship that my protagonist is a part of, and how she is able to find the strength and ability to end the connection. I will be using a camera (both with tripod and hand-held), focusing on close-up shots, to depict the sad and pensive emotions my characters will experience. I want my audience to view my film with a understanding of what I am trying to create, empathising with both girls, and relating my theme back to their own life and complicated relationships, as well as the freedom that is felt when a unhealthy relationship is left in the past.
