The Beginning

This project will be a film that examines the importance of education and the positive impact that education can have on a person's life compared to those who have no education or worse, have the opportunity to get higher education but turn their noses away from it. In the story we follow the life of a male student who represents all of us and the traps that we could easily fall into as the student fails to see the importance of education and neglects his studies to seek out instant cheap thrills in life believing that rebellion and a false sense of popularity among people who are pretending to be his friends will lead him on to a better quality of life and that he doesn't need education but in reality this all nothing but a sweet illusion.
This story is influence by a personal friend of mine who fell victim to this exact scenario but a more research based influence of this story can be found in the classic and world famous Carlo Collodi 'Adventures of Pinocchio' story where a boy neglects his studies and ends up trusting the wrong people who he believes are his friends but would later reveal themselves as the people who have now made a fool of him. Not only does neglecting your education lead you astray but it also makes you behave irresponsible and often people who neglect their education are only being untrue to themselves and others around them when they come to justify why they didn't follow their education and responsibilities like everyone else.
This clip from Walt Disney's Pinocchio shows how people can become engaged by their own self neglect of their future to the point where they are literally begging for a second chance at life because they didn't follow through with their responsibilities the first time round because they were too busy chasing after cheap thrills. No lie will ever be convincing or believable enough to justify their situation and will always catch up with them.
The style would consist of showing the events that student goes through such as feeling depressed in class, hanging out with friends drinking and leaving his studies neglected, arguing with his parents about his negative change in behaviour, meets a new girlfriend and starts thinking that he is considered a cool person because he now has friends and a girlfriend but all falls apart as his life style starts to impact his health and his girlfriend leaves him for one of his friends to which he begins to realise that these people don't really care about him but were just using him because he let them and finally the biggest event of the student's life which is the triumphant rise of recovering and building his life, health and career back to what it was originally meant to be.
This would consist of the narrator telling his story in the first person perspective while the visual representation of what he is talking about is being shown on the screen. The music would be mostly emotional and provoke feelings of sadness due to the negative events that are occurring in the student's life towards the beginning of the film but as his life progresses, the music will also progress into more cheerful and triumphant music.
