The short film Cubs written and directed by Tom Harper looks into the life of youths. The film won the British Independent Film Award and was nominated for a BAFTA. Various themes and issues are developed throughout the film; Peer pressure, violence and cultural divides. The film follows two main characters who want to become part of a gang they believe is cool. After the characters stand together looking around them anxiously, Karl enters the scene with two ravening dogs.

From the notes on this section I gained knowledge in how to write and develop my film idea. The points helped guide me through how to show my protagonists journey, the ellipsis of time and how much a short film should contain. After the reading and notes we took a test to see how much we understood of screen writing.
