This story is about a 21 year old boy who was beaten by homophobic thugs wearing pink tutus outside a YMCA building at 1 in the morning. If I based my BSR on this story, the possible themes would be sexuality combined with coming out, and discovery, which aren't really themes that I have discovered in BSR films I have previously watched or analyzed, so my film would be a niche film. I could set this film on a council estate, which is a location where people are very judgemental, and lots of rough people live. The boy would be younger than Robbie, about 16 or 17 and he a topic of conversation for lots of families in the estate, and everybody would know if he publically came out, or a rumour was spread about him. The protaganist for this film would be his best friend, of the same age, who fought back against the bullies, and took him to a LGBT youth group for support and help. But this does not stop people bullying him, as the boy gets suicidal thoughts and self injures. This could be a very real idea, as it does happen to *LGBTQAIP* teens, and in Britain, homophobia is still rife.

This story is about a 35 year old, married teacher who had sex with a 16 year old student in her car, 3 times. The boy had agreed to keep the relationship a secret but had then gone and told his friends. I think this could be a good idea for a British Social Realist film as it is a story that has been in the news many times in Britain, and has yet to be made into a BSR film exploring a teacher/student relationship. Themes I could explore in this film include Sex and Corruption of Youth. The relationship between them would be intimate, and the student around 16/17 could grow up to have some mental health issues because of the relationship, and grow up to develop severe depression. The film could have a non-linear start, and start with an older 21/22 year old male, who had the relationship when he was younger, then he has severe depressive thoughts, and then the film goes back in time to discover why the man is feeling that way. Possible protagonists could be the boy's friend who knows something is wrong, and the boy who is in the relationship is starting to realize that the relationship is a bad idea. The friend then tells him to confess, and finish the relationship, and he tries to but the teacher doesn't let him end it, and ends up sexually abusing him. Which ends up coming out and she is arrested and sent to jail. This is a very realistic story which does happen behind closed doors in the UK.

This story is about a group of teenagers die in a car crash, they were aged from 16-18, one of the girls was named Prom Queen at her school prom. I could use this story as a BSR film idea, as there is a car crash on a prom night, in which 3 friends who have been friends since they were babies, and they are traveling in a taxi to prom together, and there is a collision between the taxi and another car. Two of the girls are seriously injured and die in hospital, and the other girl is left on her own. The film could be about the struggle the girl faces to overcome the death of her two best friends, and she results to drugs to help her forget the pain of that night, losing her two best friends. Themes could include death and drug abuse/drug experimentation. The film could be set anywhere in Britain, as the film applies to all cultures and all locations. The protagonist in this film could be a therapist the girl sees as she is trying to get clean, and go through drug rehab, and the therapist makes her see sense.
