POSTER IDEA

Below is a simple sketch of what i would like my poster to show.

Motherhood Treatment

1.    Motherhood: Tag line

“A mother must do all she can to feed her child, but how she does it will be her biggest test to date.”

1.    Treatment

17 year old Keisha Cole had built herself quite a reputation among her peers, a tidal wave of misinformed, misguided decisions has landed herself with a situation to last a life time, a child. Keishahad fallen pregnant at the tender age of just sixteen, after dropping out of secondary school with no qualifications, she is left with the further dilemma of how she get a stable job to feed her baby when it arrives.

Racked with guilt and shame, with a family who no-longer cares for her existence Keisha is forced to move in with her abusive boyfriend who is a notorious criminal in the East of London. Being a child herself, she must now care for her own. The dilemmas are far from over yet though as Keishais soon to find out. One hit too many forces Keisha to turn her boyfriend, Jermaine Jones, over to the police out of fear for her child, Romeo Jones. Now that Jermaine is in prison, there is no form of income to support her new family with, so she resorts to prostitution in order to pay the bills and feed her son. But for how much longer must she live a life of desperation and unluck to support her child.

British Dramas are usually influenced by American films, they play on the area code wars that exist in parts of america.

Work Divisions- Film Director

My role in the making of our film trailer is the film director

My roles and responsibilities as the director are:

• Overseeing the shooting of scenes
• Assembling the film
• Responsible for the pictures final appearance
• Make sure everybody knows what they are doing
• Making sure that every shot we get is correct.
• A director works at the center of film production, but is inextricably linked with other people to get the job done.
