The reasons for our choice of cast

The reason why we chose two victims of the separate gender is toshow that bullying is a universal thing upon genders, and that peoplof the different gender are treated differently

We used friends of the victims who belonged to the samesubculture to show the how friends who are from the same group,and who are also going through/possibly going through the sametroubles as the victims, can encourage them to stay strong and keepgoing.

Why has the idea of bullying/alienation insociety been chosen? As bullying has been and is still a huge impact on young peoples lives a

has caused devastating impacts on their past, the present and couldpossibly lead to future disruptions. The statistics of children being bulliefor their differences/beliefs/sub cultures etc. has hit 46% of all children,also causing an absence of children to reach 16,493.

The idea of bullying and alienation in society highlights the idea of fightto stay being yourself against the society and the people who oppress youto change.

Bullying also has heavy affects such as self harm, suicidal tendencdepression, anxiety, which could all lead to further damage to themselvesPresenting it in a way of outstanding the bullies and standing for yourselfa way however to show and emphasise the songs meaning of standing yoground and being proud of yourself no matter what people say or do.

The meaning of the song The reason to why the band wrote the song was to express how they feel against the rest of

society, who they felt tried to change them. The song lyrics are reassuring towards them and toanyone who feels this way that being different is okay, such as You say that I'm damaggoods/But I know that you'll miss me/There's a space in this puzzle/It's cause we never fit inWe're not broken/We're just different by design.

The song demonstrated that the band felt threatened by society to change as they felt they werebeing held back and criticised for being who they want to be. In the song though, this idea ofsociety hindering their lives is seen to be overcome as they almost fight back in such through tlyrics and the power of what the lyrics resemble, such as after the bridge of the song wherethe broken will not stay down (Alright) / And we the broken will stand our ground (We're alrigh

And we the broken will not stay down (Alright) ends and the final part of the bridge starchorus again, which leads in by; - And we the broken will stand our ground (We're alrWhen listening to the song and the way the lead singer sings out this part of the song gives asense of power as all the instruments quieten down, giving him a full opportunity to emphasisethe lyrics before the instruments start again in the chorus. This could be seen as a way of theband hitting the audience hard with the use of the lyrics creating an impact amongst theaudience.

Possible locations

The locations of the music video want to be diverse to create almost twoworlds to the victim/s life. In this the possible locations to use is to havedensely populated area such as the school, which where the bullying andconflict could take place, showing the audience the harsh realities of livinin your own sub culture. The second location which would be a binaryopposite to this would be somewhere isolated such as the woods wherethe victim is allowed to escape reality and endure in their own world to

comfort themselves, if thats to escape and be alone and away from thebullies or to clear their mind. The use of the isolation could also show the victim entering their own

world, their own space which keeps them living or gives them a hope thathere isnt a harsh end to this and them fighting would help them bring aend to this without them giving in.

Costume ideas

The costumes that would be used would almost give a stereotypical viewon the sub culture/s that get bullied because it emphasises the reality ofthe seriousness of bullying and how it gives reasons for it to beunnecessary and in such a way impacts on the audience to see and realisethe devastating impact of bullying, putting them in the victims shoes andmaking them live their life and make them feel how the victim feels.

To achieve this the costumes would need to be unique, such as differentsub- culture styles like indie, reggae, alternative wear etc.

The use of these stereotypes would not to create a negative image of thevictim against the bullies, it would reinforce that everyone is equal nomatter what they look like, and that no one can stop you from beingyourself because they dont see themselves as it or see you different tothem.
