Project Idea I will be creating a short film based on

domestic violence towards children

Why Have You Chosen This Idea?

I have chosen to create a short film about domestic violence towards children, because I believe this short film can help bring more awareness to this issue

I also feel that this issues effects many children across the county, by making this short film it can hopefully make them have the courage to get help.

Target Audience My chosen target audience is for both adults and children. My

reason for having a large target audience is because I think this issue affects both adults and children.

I have chosen adults to be my target audience because domestic abuse towards children can have an effect even in adult years. I would want to send a message that you can still get help but also, if you have seen signs or know anyone that is going through this to contact organizations that can help.

I have chosen children to be my target audience because, this issue is about children. I want to send the message that you can get help if you are going through domestic abuse, But also I would want to send the message that domestic abuse towards anyone is wrong. By making this short film it can help stop the cycle of domestic abuse

The Strengths And Weaknesses Of My Idea Strengths

Weaknesses

Is the short film the most effective way of raising awareness.

The cost of production may be out of our budget.

Lack of knowledge that it will make an impact to society.
