We made this video because we think that we are living in a world where people are hating too much, and they're forgeting one important thing in life, which is smiling. People should be happier, but they are always seeing the dark side of everything, and society is every day worse because they are telling people what they think that everyone is supposed to be like, and that's wrong: we all have the right to be what we want to be. We hope that this video, from our point of view, makes all of you to think about what can we do to change this.

In today’s society, more and more girls begin to personally harm and degrade themselves, striving for a “perfect body” that they can never achieve. We all must look and act the same in order to be “beautiful”. Our project aims to show that all girls, no matter what, are beautiful. Each teenage girl feels insecure and self conscious, but if we choose to view ourselves positively, our inner confidence shines through. This project is aimed at teenage girls to support a positive self image within themselves. We chose to create a contrast in visual style and meaning by having the first half in black and white and the second half in vibrant color. With this contrast, we show how dark negative self perception can be and how reflecting more positively on yourself will bring color and confidence to your life.
