Mr Bush

The film I will create is based in the streets of London following the supposed spike in knife crime of recent times. It follows a young boy caught in the crossfire and finding himself becoming involved with the violence. The film follows his journey as he is dragged in and tries to find a way to survive and escape the violent lifestyle.  I am aiming to reinforce stereotypes but put them in a context which is different to the way they are portrayed within mainstream media in order to draw sympathy from the audience. This will relate to Perkins theory that not all stereotypes are true. I intend on doing this through the perspective of the protagonist. Although he commits violent crimes, the reasoning behind it will subvert stereotypes, making the audience feel sorry for him as they will see he is trapped in a cycle .  This will cause  audiences to think about how they would react in the same situation which allows them to relate to the characters, which relates to Bl...

Costume What will your characters wear? What is the costume supposed to communicate to the audience? How does this link to your Statement of Intent in terms of creating representations? The characters will be wearing common street clothing you see around London which include tracksuits, hoodies and hats. However, some characters will be wearing balaclavas which indicate they are a danger. As 2 of the characters also play football, they will be seen in in football kits as it is equipment they need to play and keeps the realism within the shoot. Lighting How will you light your trailer? Day or night? Interior or exterior? If outside, can you use streetlights, shadows, reflected sunlight or other creative techniques to achieve the lighting style you want? If inside, experiment with creative lighting techniques using windows, blinds, artificial lights, phone flashes and more.
