After running away from home because he has not been allowed to go out by his family, Matt is walking along a deserted beach and is distressed when he meets Roy. Roy is a wise old man eating fish and chips who is very like Matt. He talks to Matt about his problems and explains that he too was once in that situation and that his parents do love him and it’s not good for him to be wandering the streets on his own. Matt likes the old man and listens intently to what he has to say. He then realises that this was a silly idea and that he should go home.
We decided to use this story line as we thought it showed good aspects of a social realist film. It shows simple, realistic characters in everyday settings. We also all remembered wanting to run away for a childish reason in the past and thought this would make the audience relate to the boy and also remember a time when they did something similar. We pitched this idea to a few people including our teacher, Andy Hampson. They thought that it was a very good idea for a story synopsis and also said that it would make them want to watch.
