Three Initial Ideas

For my three initial ideas that I would base my production on, I was to think sensibly and came up with three reasonable, budget ideas that I am able to use.
The first of these three ideas was that I would have my protagonist as a 16 year old male, who is mixed race and is named Jordan as this is a typical BSR type character to do with racial stereotypes. The main story behind this would be that Jordan is struggling to survive and with him having no parents, he is to live in a council estate by himself and sell drugs to survive but one day does business with the wrong people and then has to survive for his life with a big gang after him. I think this would be a really good idea as it sounds intriguing and shows the struggles in real life. I would base this in Flats in Barking and maybe have scenes from a park and my themes would be drug experimentation, corruption of youth and violence as these are typical conventions of a BSR style film.
My second idea was to have another 16 year old male as my protagonist, but he would be Asian and his real name would be Ryan, but his gang name would be "Boost" and this is used to add authenticity. This story would be about his aspiration to become a footballer as he is really good, but he is also part of a gang and this is holding him down so he must find a way out of the gang life to continue his career in football. This would be based around Beckton, Barking and Ilford as these are typical style BSR settings that are gritty and my main themes would be aspiration, corruption of youth and gang culture as these will represent his life and show his 2 sides of life, football and gangs.
My third and final idea would be to have an 18 year old male as my protagonist, whose name would be Nathan but his rapping name would be "TK" and this adds authenticity as all wannabe rappers have a stage name and the story behind this is that he is a young rapper who is trying to make his way to the top, but is killed due to enemies he has made and this leads him to a death as such a young age and this shows the reality of the gritty BSR genre and the real life situations some people so young have to go through. This will mainly be based in hackney as this is a really gritty place and shows the true side of real life struggles and I would like to also add a cheap studio as this adds realism to the fact that he is a rapper and the main key themes will be aspiration and corruption of youth.
