Story boards

 This was my first idea. The boy under the blanket reading a book, the father comes and switches the light on and the boy looks frightened and the man walks towards him. The screen switches to a blank page with words saying something along the lines of "everyday 10 kids are abused in their own homes" (but obviously I will research this). Then we see a boy at a desk in school with a black eye. The teacher just carries on with the lesson. Then back to some words like "people know but they do nothing".

 Then we see the boy doing homework in his room, the dad storms in and throws his book across the room and storms towards him. Then we see him grabbing the boy and shouting at him. There's another screen with words on it then we see the boy sat in a corner looking scared and the camera zooms in on him. There is one last screen with words saying something about if only he had help, then the childline logo. There will be sad music in this, no dialogue. I think this will help evoke emotion.

My next idea was of a young girl drawing a picture of her and her dad. We zoom into the picture and it comes to life. The girl drops her glass and runs away. The dad is angry and runs after her and grabs her. We switch to a long shot and the dad is now depicted as the devil standing over her. The dad walks away now drawn normally, leaving the girl in the corner. Then the childline logo is shown. I was thinking maybe before that it could zoom back out to the girl drawing and maybe she could screw it up and throw it away. I'm not sure if I could make this last 40 seconds thought but it might. I wouldn't have any words in this at all and just let the imagery speak for itself.
