Two sides, black and white. Two colours that are completely different from each other. One group of white adolescents are returning from a football match, eager for a fight with the opposing teams fans. One group of black adolescents are hanging around on a street corner waiting for their next victim to mug. The two groups get closer and closer to one another. Suddenly both groups are parallel to each other hurling abuse to the opposing race, and waiting for someone to make the first move. The tension builds and builds until the groups charge at each other, hurling missiles as they get closer. Suddenly, the camera shuts down and a black screen appears.
The scene reappears, but the situation has changed. Everyone is getting along with each other and race seems to be nothing but a colour between friends. The group of teenagers clearly share the same interests and hobbies, and walk off together. After this, a title appears asking 'Are we really different?', followed by 'Stereotypes cause violence, think before you judge'.
As a group we decided that this idea is just a back up in case Idea 1 doesn't work out. Although this is the early stages of planning we felt that this film needed to be developed further, and we may decide to use it if we can find a way to add some sort of twist to it.
