Version 1
written by Rebecca Warburton
1.) Separation/ isolation
The movie starts with Bianca on her room sitting next to the window; there
are some books or
magazines covers where there’s people who have colour. She is watching the
people outside, then takes a look at herself who's all white
2.) Exclusion
She decides to leave her house and go outside to the
park. She sits on a bench and observes a few groups of people. She then notices
this girl walking in her direction who drops a small item by accident; Bianca
picks the item up and tries to give it back to the girl, but is instead ignored.
3.) Searching for approval
Afterwards she notices a group talking about some item
she might have or so, so she can go up to them and show them hers. Group takes
interest on her item but only on the item itself, so she is just put aside by
them fairly quickly.
4.) Changing to fit in
She sits on a bench and realises she has sat on wet
paint. She notices the colour rub off onto her hand; then she sees the can of
paint and brush tucked underneath the bench. So she paints herself.
5.) Ridicule
Having her colour changed, she now decides to approach
others, hoping that they think she belongs to the group.
The group she approaches notices how she has painted
herself and that in turn puts them off so they all start avoiding her.
Has she has gradually been building up her frustration,
she starts to tear up a bit.
Since people notice she is painted with another colour
and is all by herself, they not only avoid her but also start to laugh or even
mock her.
This is when Bianca breaks down to tears
6.) Acceptance
Later on we see Bianca sitting on her own crying , leaning
on a tree, almost if isolated from everyone (this can be one of the areas of
the park where there’s various trees and flowers). Her crying grabs the attention
of one person who approaches her and notices that she is painted with other
colour. This person begins to wipe the paint off of her and smiles at the sight
of Bianca's colour being white. The rest of the person’s group who was behind,
approach Bianca as well and not only do they all seem to like/accept her, but
they also want her to join their group, regardless of her colour.
7.) Two of a kind
Finally they
show Bianca that there's another person of her kind (white) in their group, so
not only has she found a group where she is accepted but it is also a group
where she belongs to.
The group of people that accept Bianca in could be 3 people (not
including the white character) one blue, one red and one green, like the RGB
colour model, since those 3 together make the colour white.

1. Determination
Movie begins with the camera panning over posters and magazines with colourful people. While by the window, Bianca watches closely the people on the street and looks back her who is all white, she then decides to go out there and is determined to try and make some friends.
2. Helpful
While she’s sitting on the park looking at other people, she notices that this girl passing by drops an item by accident, Bianca goes to pick it up and give it back to the girl but ends up being ignored. This leaves Bianca confused but she decides to ignore it.
3. Proud
Next she notices a group talking about some item she owns, proud of owning such thing she goes over to the group and shows them the item, the group takes great interest on the item, but just the item alone, so she quickly gets cast aside.
4. Disappointment
Bianca gets disappointed as not only she has failed to get along with the group but they even switched her for such a small item.
5. Hope
After sitting down and realizing there’s a can of paint under the bench, she gets the idea of painting herself with it, in hopes that people will then accept her.
6. Joy
Bianca approaches a group with the same colour she painted herself with, they don’t seem to suspect anything and are actually very accepting, for the first time she is being accepted by people and can’t help but being overjoyed.
7. Anger
Suddenly it starts to rain, which quickly starts washing off the paint on Bianca. The group realizes that she was just a sham and gets rather angry and disgusted with her lie.
8. Frustration
Frustrated with her recent failure, Bianca starts to tear up as she just had her only chance taken away from her.
9. Misery
The people on the area start realizing what just happened and start laughing/mocking her for trying to pass off as someone with colour, all of this just makes Bianca feel more and more miserable until she eventually breaks out in tears and runs away.
10. Sympathy
There is one person on the crowd who feels bad for Bianca and sympathizes with her, however when this person decides to reach out to her it’s already too late as Bianca’s already gone.
11. Isolation
Later on we see Bianca sitting all by herself in a more secluded area of the park, almost as if isolated from everyone else. This is when the person who wanted to reach out for her finds Bianca.
12. Acceptance
The person goes over to her and after a while calls her/his group of people whom she introduces Bianca to. They all seem to like Bianca very much and accept her very well.
13. Belonging
The group then proceeds to introduce Bianca to another member of their group, this person is also white like Bianca, one of her kind.
She now has found a group that accepts her but above all it’s the group she belongs to.
