5. In your own words explain how you would go about making a short film of your own.

I would make a short film about a little girl called Kate being ignored by her parents and then when she picked up a pretty cotton pink bracelet with a daisy. When she wore it, ALL of her problems went away. When she got home, she started to talk about the bracelet to her parents and they LISTENED. They bought her EVERYTHING she wanted. She started to help the poor and help people in need. When she was 34, she had a family of her own. When her granddaughter turned 4, Kate had an awful heart ache. She gave all of her money to her family and soon, she passed away. Everyone NEVER forgot her.
