Amy scene analysis

In the first scene, Kapadi uses home footage to show how young and happy Amy was as an adolescent in 1998. We see a clip of her singing happy birthday to one of her best friends. It then skips forward to January 2001 and then six months later we see her in a rehearsal studio in North London. Kapadi again uses old footage that was shot of her in the studio.

The Universe is Ours - Short Film Synopsis

For this creative assignment, I have decided to do a social realism screenplay for a short film. This short film is going to be focused on two girls. Luna Evans is a 17 year old girl who is bisexual and currently suffering with depression as well as the death of her father. She has a close bond with her younger brother and sister, however her and her mother do not get along well as her mother does not accept her sexuality. Marley Scott is 18 who lost her parents when she was young. She is homeless as her Aunt and Uncle kicked her out for doing drugs. With both girls feeling lost and alone, they end up finding one another on the top of a roof. Watching the sun slowly set, they share their whole life stories together (along with their awesome taste in music) and realise how much that that one person can change your life forever.
