of being engulfed into her lies will result
into his own murder. Meet the story of a
17year old young boy who was led to his

3. Characters:
Main characters include a 17 The other most significant
year old boy named Kevin character is a 18year old girl
who has recently been named Alisha who is studying
released from jail. He then her last year at
wishes to start his life fresh college, however she is

potentially spend the rest of stress and pressure so

thought… which she gains pleasure
from watching someone else
emotionally destructed as that
is what she is going through;

like her life is not so bad as
others she sets Kevin up into
a disastrous „honey trap‟.
4. Inspiration:
Our main inspiration was from the recent
film my murder in which the storyline is
similar. For those of you who are
unaware of what this is about here is a
video clip of part 1 of the film:

5. Why did this inspire us?
The main reason which attracted us into the idea of
creating a short film based on my murder was simply
due to the fact that the events within this film have
taken place and are actual reality. Meaning this is
based on a true story which started the spark of
“honey trap killing”. We as a group thought this is an
issue which needs looking upon. As technology and
communication changes the way we interact as
individuals it can lead to many other problems
occurring. For example had the girl in my murder not
have a phone, whatever happened would not have
taken place. Basically.. Technology is putting the life
of individuals at risk and it is not looked into as
enough as it should be.
6. Another reason is because many of us may
have friends who are involved In such
conspiracies however chose not to say
anything simply because they do not wish to
put their life at threat. Therefore creating a
short film would advertise the impact of such
behaviours and will encourage people to
speak up and prevent such things from
taking place.
7. What makes our idea different?
The overall idea of our short film
differentiates from others, this is because
our short film is solely based on true
events. This can have a huge impact on
the way we present things and therefore
needs to be accurate. Moreover many of
us are able to relate to something when it
involves the term relationship and there are
possibly many individuals out there that
have come under being in the “honey trap
killing”. Very rarely you will see films which
almost everyone is able to relate to.
8. Audience
As our aim for the short film is to spread
a message and raise awareness the
audience is of no specific set. Although
you can argue that due to the
themes, the characters and the way it Is
presented the predominant audience
would be teenagers. Particularly due to
the fact they are able to directly relate to
such characters displayed.
9. Length
Mymurder itself is an hour long
however, we are going to cut this
down for our film to four minutes.
On YouTube short films are
genuinely from 3minutes to
6minutes.
10. Logistics & Feasibility
Location: street, park
Props: phone- this is significant as
todays generation is based a lot on
technology so this will act as a
useful communication device for
Kevin and Alisha in particular, knife-
key for our film as it creates a heavy
impact in the death scene when
Alisha's boyfriend stabs Kevin.
11. The death scene
Kevin's death is carried out through
murder which is committed by Alisha's
boyfriend. During this scene their will be
more focus on the sound rather then the
action. So for example; during the
stabbing only Alisha's boyfriend hitting
the knife will be shown and then it will
blank out; so a cliff-hanger is used to
end the short film. This will be deeply
empathised through the use of sound.
12. Where the film will be
distributed?
YouTube- large variety of audience
mainly used by teenagers and 20+
so targets a lot of people, easily
accessible for audience
Over 800 million unique users visit
YouTube each month
Over 4 billion hours of video are
watched each month on YouTube
