PLANNING: THE TOP LINE AND THE BIG QUESTION

I watched a video on Frank Ash who is the creative consultant for BBC Films, who has taught storytelling and creative techniques to people and film crews across the BBC and beyond.

  
THE TOP LINE: The story is about police discrimination towards adolescents, who are placed into police custody. However one day the tables turn... The policeman hits a adolescent and he happens to be related to the two discriminated adolescents that are put in police custody. The next day the two adolescent people confront the policeman, they are now in control.

THE BIG QUESTION: What will happen to the policeman? Will justice prevail?

TREATMENT: An officer represents the police discrimination towards adolescents, who are approached, questioned and frisked by the officer out of nowhere. He reports them back to the local police station as he is suspicious of them because of their look. They are then placed into police custody. However one day the tables turn... The policeman hits an adolescent, whilst under the influence of alcohol, whom happens to be related to the two discriminated boys that have just been released from police custody the day after. The next day the two teenagers confront the policeman at early hours and become the dominants.
