Beach combing For Inspiration

I would like to set my film in an area like this where it is all gritty and run down and i feel as though this creates a tense atmosphere for BSR genre movies. This is an image of the gascoine estates in barking where i would like to film my production.

I would like to have costumes, where it is black and masked out so the individuals identity is not shown but as a group, it shows that they are part of a gang and this represents them as this when we see a group in matching clothing.

In my production, i would like the use of guns and knives as it symbolises danger and risks. Also the main meaning of a BSR is to show the everyday struggles and this is a very serious one that will create a lot of tension.




I would like for this to be my song throughout my presentation as it relates to a lot of the themes and conventions i would want in my production.




I like the use of having color effects to show a flashback as it gives an insight into the characters past so this is an aspect i would like to look into as it doesn't require much but can have a big effect on the audience.

I like this concept of using a tracking shot as it gives a clear idea of what is going on in the whole room and you get different angles and i think this gives a clear idea of the point of view of all the characters in the room and we get a full view of what is going on and looks really impressive.

 I would like to use the concept of having graffiti as it symbolizes urban, gritty streets which is what defines my characters and their backgrounds through the setting.

 Drugs are used by a lot of youth and so i would like to reenact this with tobacco but make it seem as drugs as that is what youth nowadays are interested in. Also i would like to base my production about drug corruption as i have many ideas to do with it.

 I think that bandannas are an essential prop in a BSR as it is something a lot of youth wear to symobolize their gangs and this would make it easier for the audience to establish which characters are part of which gangs.

 I would like to have my antagonist as a rival gang member and include this feature inside my production as it is typical for people to get into gang wars and this will represent the struggles in every day life.

I would like to include a concept of this shot in bad boys two where the camera does a full 360 view of the whole room but goes through doors to see two sides of the room and i think this looks really creative and is hard to pull of but i would like to look into an aspect of it and include it in my production.

I would like to have natural lighting in my production, as it keeps the scenes serious but also sticks to a typical BSR film. But i would like to have the natural lights, such as street lights as it adds realism to the production.

I would like to look into basing my character about a young teen who has been involved in the wrong business as it is typical of a BSR but always seems to impress and is always a good theme to go for as it is easy but effective.

 The reason why i would include alcohol is that it influences their behavior and changes the way the react and this needs to be shown as a lot of people are underage drinkers so they need to see the effects.

I would like the majority of my production to be filmed in a council building as this will show the true gritty urban areas of Britain and will represent the genre BSR in its true colors to the audience.

I would like to look into having a police costume as the police represent the law and enforce authority on all but i would like to twist this around so the gangs have the authority but i feel as though police are necessary as they come tot he crime scenes, and are involved with the everyday struggles.

I would like to look into the aspect of having a bmx in my production as it is something all youths have in gangs and this is also a form youths use as a getaway once they commit a crime so will be used to add realism and authenticity.
