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.
