Media mini brief
Character profiles:
Isabelle Wiltshire
Teenage girl who has recently been throwing her life away
partying and getting drunk to become popular to impress her new boyfriend. She
used to be a straight A student however is now failing as she feels being dumb
like her boyfriend is sexier than being a so called ‘nerd’. She has also been
staying out each night, lying to her mum about her whereabouts however she has
just been caught.
Esme Roberts (Isabelle’s Mother)
A mum who expects highly of her children, she doesn’t
pressurise them too much; she just wants them to succeed and be the best they
can be. After recently celebrating Isabelle’s GCSE results she has held back a
little bit to let Isabelle celebrate herself. After briefly meeting Isabelle’s
new boyfriend on results day (only to discover he didn’t pass any of his exams)
she was cautious, as his first impressions have left an imprint on her that she
can’t shake off. After recently worrying about Isabelle’s whereabouts one night
she decided to track her daughters I phone - something she hasn’t had to do
before however discovered her daughter was at a nightclub when she was meant to
be working at the local Italian restaurant. Isabelle’s mother waited up for her
daughter to have a few words…
Script
(Isabelle stumbles into kitchen with her heels in her hand
and leans on work surface for support as she is struggling to stand on her own
feet. Here we have a match on action shot to exaggerate Isabelle’s drunken
state. She goes to the sink and pours out a glass of water where only then does
she look up and see her mum sitting on the dining room chair. We have a shot
reverse shot to reveal the reactions between the two.)
Mother: (looks at watch) What time do you call this?
Isabelle: looks in shock (goes to speak) I…
Mother: Save the excuses I know you’ve been out
drinking again with your new irresponsible
boyfriend. Why do you keep doing this Isabelle? You’ve got your whole life
ahead of you and you’re throwing it away for some stupid relationship that
isn’t even going to last!
Isabelle: How dare you say we’re not gonna last! I
love him - why can’t you accept that?! If you’re not gonna support our
relationship then I guess I’ll just go live with him!
