Final Synopsis: Happily Ever After?


And they all lived happily ever after... or did they? 

Happily Ever After is a short film following an innocent, beautiful baby as she grows into a monster of a woman. As a young girl, Greta is asked: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Like all little girls, her reply is: "To be a princess... to marry a prince... to live happily ever after." However, this is not Greta's reality as she is growing up, she gets mixed up with the wrong crowds and loses sight of her moral beliefs. The film highlights the struggles of growing up in a modern day, media influenced Britain from a young woman's point of view. Will Greta get her Happily Ever After? Or will she get eaten up by the big bad world? - Eva

This is the chosen idea for my group and I's short film. It will have mixes of montages as well as old home videos used paired with new footage we will film ourselves to portray the difference in growing up in Britain for a girl from a baby to an 18 year old. She will start as innocent, vulnerable and fragile and along the way make wrong choices due to the British atmosphere and peer pressure and end up a complete contradiction to what she wanted to be as a little girl. - Migle
