Script Treatment Overview

Narrative Overview

The narrative follows three young boys all wanting to receive a place at a very prestigious Sixth Form. Each individual character is entirely based upon the heavy stereotyping of the country they originate from.

Yet the boys are immediately regarded as outcasts in their new and unfamiliar school environment due to their physical and verbal differences. Due to this, the bond between each of the three boys unintentionally becomes stronger.


Setting


Because the narrative revolves around three new students receiving a placement at Sixth Form, all filming will take place within a school environment. This gives the audience a better understanding and greater knowledge into the plot and the journey of each protagonist.
