OVERVIEW

Background

Children can't protect themselves from the dark side of the internet. Child sexual abuse is a problem that reaches into our homes through our tablets, phones, and laptops. It is a global issue, but hardly anywhere in the world has introduced laws to stop it.

However, in the months ahead, the European Union (EU) has a unique opportunity to change this.

A new EU legislation has been proposed to address and combat this pressing issue. It seeks to mandate tech platforms to create safe spaces for our children, requiring them to detect, report, and remove Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Execution

We start with the sounds of phones being messaged & children’s playground sounds. Then the disembodied deep breathing of predators.

A child rushes up the stairs to escape the sinister voices as the tension builds. Eerie tech sounds & the whispers build to monster roars as the child tries to hide from the predators.

Children cannot protect themselves from the internet, make it the law to protect, report & remove child sexual abuse material.

The build & intensity of the sound design, helps with the storytelling of the journey of trying to escape the predators.
