Chris CHILD ABUSE OUTLINE Topic: Child Abuse

Characters: Chris G., Amanda G., Melanie G.

By: Chris G.

Filming: In Poly when only I am on camera, and home when Amanda is on camera or we are both on camera.

This is going to be a video about child abuse. It will help keep people aware about how cruel some people are in the world and to what extent. It will talk about the Child Abuse donation cans that are in local shops, such as Pizzeria’s, mall’s, restraints ect. When ever I am in class and I’m working on the film, I clearly will not finish it in one day. So I will work on some parts when I am at home too. (It will just be any part that is next☺)

The first position of the camera will be showing Amanda and myself, which again has to be filmed at home. The camera will switch between my sister and I. When it's my line, the camera will be on me. When it's Amanda's line, the camera will be on her. We will each say two or three sentences. When ever we talk, you will only be looking at our faces, no video clip or pictures. When only Amanda is on camera it will have to be filmed at home. When I am on camera, I am going to be filming it in poly, and when we are both on camera, it will be shot at home as well. The only time my dad will be in the film, is the "happy family scene", with my dad and I playing football. During the film, the song that will be playing will be the song Welcome to My Life by Simple PLan.

6L Child Abuse Video Script

Scene 1

At home and Poly. Blue backgrond behind Amanda. (Really, it's just my bedroom wall.) Computer room behind me, considering im filming my parts here. When we are both on screen, we will be fimlmed outside.

Chris: Hello. I’m Chris.

Amanda: And I’m Amanda.

Both: And we’re here to tell you about Child Abuse.

Chris: We all know what child abuse is, but we do not know all of the forms of it.

Amanda: Exactly. When you hear the words child abuse, the first thing that comes to mind, are adults physically beating a child.

Chris: When that’s not the first thing that comes to mind for an abused child.

Amanda: Out of all the abused children, 4% are abused emotionally, 54% neglected, 8% sexually, and 22% physically.

Chris: So really, physical abuse that’s not even half of it.

Amanda: Where is the family love? Whatever happened to this?

Scene 2

Scene with my sister and I playing football. Happy music playing :-) But it is all in "slow motion."

I throw the ball to Melanie. She catches it, and I look very happy, until she throws the ball back to me hitting me in the stomach and nocks me to the ground.

Scene 3

Amanda: We also have shelters and fundraisers for abused children.

Chris: It’s pretty easy to donate to these shelters and fundraisers.

Amanda holds up child abuse donation can

Amanda: It’s very simple. Just find a child abuse donation can like this one, and put a dollar or two in. It’s so simple, a caveman can do it!

Scene 4

(Making joke out of Geico commercial) Amanda and caveman sitting down at a dinner table, having a discussion.

Amanda: Listen… we didn’t know you guys were still around.

Caveman: Still, you shouldn’t say that on national T.V.! That’s is just major resist, what do you think, we have the mind of a toddler?

Waiter comes over

Waiter: So, are you ready to order?

Caveman: No, I’m not to hungry right now.

Waiter nods and walks away. Caveman looking at Amanda with a disgusted look.

(End of Amanda and Caveman)

"Gieco" logo screen appears, instead of saying gieco, the screen says CHILD ABUSE DONATION CANS in blue bold print. Under those words it says SO EASY A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT also in bold blue print. And a man in talking aloud ay everything together. The voice will be done by Chris.

Announcer: Child abuse donation cans. So easy a caveman can do it.

Scene 5

Amanda with muffled voice

Amanda: Chris, I told you not to put that in the film!

Chris: Oops. Yeah, about that...

Amanda: Anyway, you can find these donation cans in restaurants, department stores, clothing stores, delis, pizzeria’s, and the list keeps going on.

Close up on Amanda

Amanda: Now for the facts about child abuse; did you know that one abused child dies every week?

Chris: It is estimated that about two out of every ten girls and one out of every ten boys are sexually abused.

Amanda: Families with four or more children have higher rates of abuse and neglect, especially if their living conditions are crowded or they live in isolated areas.

Chris: One in thirteen kids with an alcoholic parent, or alcoholic parents are physically abused regularly.

Amanda: Over 3,000,000 children were reported for child abuse and neglect to the Child Protective Service, otherwise known as the CPS.

Chris: About 47 out of 1000 kids are reported of victims of beatings.

Amanda: Just to show you how bad this situation is, here's a few pictures showing you pictures of abused children.

Slideshow with pictures of abuse children. (Music: Welcome to My Life, by Simple Plan) 12 pictures shown.*++

Scene 6

Chris: Any parents, strangers, or even close friend that do this to children, they clearly have a problem.

Amanda: Other people are doing it.

Chris: It’s our job to stop it.

Amanda: We have the victims.

Chris: We have the suspects.

Both: And we are the detectives.

Chris: Do you want to stop child abuse?

Both: Then help us stop it, and make the world a better place for future generations!
