Obsessed with nature, Moonwing regularly seeks beauty within the environment and likes to take photos, sort of like a hobby. Due to his ways and beliefs, he found it harder to get along with peers during his educational years and decided to start travelling by himself after he finished school. Not having a job or any other work related commitments means that Moonwing has absolutely no income, however, his parents were fairly wealthy. His parent’s money pays for his food and travelling.

Statement of Intent
We believe we are the best possible people to make this drama because we know lots of different locations to shoot and film in. We have relatively good knowledge of the subject which will help to finalise the script and storyboards. It will also give us the opportunity to use all the skills we have learnt and use them to create the most effective drama we can.
Storyline:
As Moonwing enters the forest he immediately gets a rush from the intense wooded scenery. To his eyes it is his perfect paradise, he finds the sheer beauty extremely overwhelming. Continuing through the forest he falls onto a blanket of leaves and starts to feel dizzy. He staggers back to his feet in a daze, as he stumbles around he can hear the noise of chainsaws and trees being cut down. This all starts to infuriate Moonwing and he grabs onto a tree. Crying and in hysterics, he accidently pulls a bit off one of the trees. He repeatedly apologises to the tree and becomes even more hysterical. He tries rushing away but all the sounds become louder and louder in his head.
