Characters
Mike - He is a 15 year old boy who has recently gone through the pain of finding out that his father being missing in action in the war. He isn't taking it very well and becomes withdrawn from everything. He doesn't talk to any of his family, not even his mum. Moving down to another county for financial reasons hasn't helped because he is away from his fathers hometown and potential grave.
Julie - This is mikes mother. On the outside she is a standard housewife, looking after Mike when he's at home but on the inside she is grieving badly for her husband. She's trying to stay strong for her son by putting a fake smile on her face when he is around but the fact that her son is no longer talking to her means that she is finding it harder to cope with the lose of her husband.
Genre
I chose to base my story around the genre of thriller/crime fiction because this is the genre that i most enjoy watching and think that it really captures the audiences attention and allows the director to either end the story or leave it on a cliffhanger making the audience want to carry on watching.
Goal
There is two goals in my short film. Mikes goal is to see his father again even if that means killing himself. To the audience that can either come apparent at the beginning of the film when the boy goes missing but to others, they may not notice it till towards the end of the film. Julie's goal on the other hand is to find her son. Not only does she want to find him but she wants to know and understand what happened to him.
