Week 0 - Brainstorming and decision making.

Week 0 - We brainstormed and came up with five scenarios. We chose scenario 3 and we decided on our setting of the scene and our role play in the video. We also managed to draw our the first two scenes of our story board but this is only our first draft. We also created our blog and named it xhiddentearsx.blogspot.com because our story is about Jenny who is hidding things behind her smile and holding back her tears.

 Here are our 5 scenarios and our reasons for our final decision:

• Scenario 1: A girl who have to deal haters in her entire school

Jane is hated by everyone. People bullied her, insulted her and they even created a hatred group just to talk bad about her.

• Scenario 2: A young boy who is getting child abuse

Ray was hated by his family. From the day he was born, he was physically abused by his family. His parents scolded him and blamed him for everything he have done.

• Scenario 3: A girl who is acting strong

Jenny is a happy and hyper girl and she is very popular in her school. People loved her for her hyper-ness and people thought she had a loving family but no one knows what is behind her beautiful and deciving smile. They did not know that Jenny's family was about to shatter into two parts.

• Scenario 4: A girl who is loved

Taylor is a very lucky girl. She had friends who would stand up for her when people is pulling her down and friends who would be by her side and love her for who she is. Taylor also has a very rich family who loves her a lot.

• Scenario 5: A boy who is hated but loved by his family

Johnathan is hated by his own group of friends and his whole class. Nobody liked him. They judged him and insulted him and made him a fool infront of the whole school but the lucky thing is that he has a loving family who would love him. But Johnathan never told his parents what happened to him in school.

Reason why we chose Scenario 3
- It is very similar to what we are stuggling with, both in school and at home.
- It is a rather good storyline because it hides a lot of things behind one thing.
- Many children is experiencing these kind of problems so we think it will be good to use this scenario.
