Clip One- Coming of age by Ben and Charlie Goodger

Rating- 5 stars

What is it about? About a young boy who struggles with his new responsibilities in a brutal post-apocalyptic future

Who is the main character? A young boy around the age of 15-17

 What is their objective- what do they want?   He aims to find a pack of pills which have previously been stolen from him. From what i could gather this boy has a sister who appears to be ill. This is why he has been trying to find these pills.

What is the conflict in the narrative? The boy has to get the pills but struggles as two men are trying to get these pills too. The main character finds some pills in what appears to be an abandoned barn, however he does not realize that it is occupied by these 2 men. When they notice the boy running away, they try to catch and kill him. 

First two minutes- There is off an off screen sound at the start of heavy breathing and running on crunchy leaves. The source of the sound is then shown of the boy running in a forest. There are 3 fade ins/outs and a brief tracking shot of the boys feet. An extreme close up on his face of his tears and rubbing his eyes. It then goes to a very long shot of him standing next to a grave. This creates a mystery of who is in the grave and what had happened to them.
