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.

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?

If inside, experiment with creative lighting techniques using windows, blinds, artificial lights, phone flashes and more.
