Domestic Violence Treatment
Director Danny Hewitt
Head Cameraman Andrei Allen
PURPOSE – Social experiment to show publics reaction to male on female/female on male violence and people's preconceptions.
Location: Board room, Maidstone Studios
The idea-outline
We are setting up a fake audition to take place within the TV studios. However, taking the audition will be 3 real applicants (each at different times) sitting with the fake auditionees while unaware of the stunt taking place. During the auditions, a couple whom will be inside the waiting room with the rest of the auditionees will have a fight on two separate occasions, one with the man hitting the women, the other with the women hitting the man. The whole point of this is to see how the applicants will react during both circumstances.
The Test subject will be greeted at the door by the assistant producer, then walked through base room 1 into base room 2, past the auditioning room (where auditions will be taking place (actor 1 will be getting auditioned)) and told to wait in the auditioning waiting room.
When they enter this room there will be 3 fake actors waiting inside, one of whom will be actor 2. Once the Test subject is seated, after a while of waiting actor 1 will then enter into the room and sit next to actor 2, and the assistant producer will call through a fake actor to the auditioning room.
Because actor 1 has seen actor 2 quickly put away a mobile phone, this makes actor 1 suspicious and being to question actor 2 accusing them of cheating. After a few seconds this becomes a heated discussion with actor 1 intimidating and quietly harming actor 2, using threatening behaviour in the process, actor 2 will quietly shout out in agonising pain to signify that they’re being heart. While this is happening we will be waiting to see if the test subject will react or say anything to what is taken place in front of them.
