Therefore she has resulted in an attempt of suicide, writing a note, flooding tears telling her family and friends that it’s too much to take and the support isn’t there. She feels lonely and wants to end all. As her brother finds the note, he is worried and desperate to track her down. Will he find her, only one way to find out in Enough is Enough

Sypnosis of our opening sequence- pitch.

The narrative of our film is about a young teenage girl of 16, who has been suffering a long-wind of bullying and torment at school. One day it becomes too much for her to bear and she is left feeling very miserable and she believes that she is worthless. Her elder brother is her closest friend and after a very rough day she feels like she can not go on any longer. She begins to write a letter to her brother, telling him that she cannot continue to live this life. She runs away to the local bridge and makes an attempt to jump off. Meanwhile, her brother has found her note and is terrified that he won't reach her in time. Will he get to her before she makes a mistake that she cannot take back?

Initial storyboard idea for film opening.

This is our initial storyboard. We talked about our individual ideas for the project and then we put them all together into this storyboard, to give us a rough outline to what we are going to put in our opening sequence. We have made some slight changes.
