Initial Ideas for a Short Film Synopsis

For my short film, I potentially want to cover the themes and issues surrounding coming of age and independence.

I find it interesting that from birth we spend each moment of our infant lives with a parent or a guardian, and there is no such thing as being alone or unattended. Essentially, we live the same day as our mothers or fathers in that us, as young children are always by their side.

However, as we grow up, freedom and independence grows to become more so; the details of our lives compared to our parents and guardians become dissimilar in ways that they'd never know what we were doing for the majority of our lives from young adulthood and beyond. 

Even amongst the closest of childhood relationships, parents will never fully understand some of the situations that their children experience from their daily lives as details are often skimmed or forgotten. 

Young adults can often hide things from the parents regarding the details in which they are not around for, as a result of trust and independence. 

This idea is open to covering a variety of different issues faced by young adults such as; bullying/abuse, substance abuse, relationships, mental health and crime. 

This idea is also sure to cover themes of independence, freedom and trust.
