Fantasy Film Making Part 1

The Betrayal

In the lesson, each group was told to pick a piece of paper from each category, and my group picked out the production company of Brasso Films + Partners, the budget of £0 and a scenario of: "A rough drama about a young African immigrant growing up in London's gang culture."

The Story

A young boy comes from Africa for a better life, but it isn't as he expected. Shortly after he arrives he finds out where his uncle lives. A little while after moving into his uncle's house, his uncle starts to abuse him which drives him to leave, and with nowhere else to stay, live on the streets.

He starts shoplifting so that he can survive, a local gang witness his shoplifting and decide that the could have him in their gang. To initiate him into the gang, the gang members challenge the boy to stab someone. With the amount of peer pressure building up, he agrees to stab a person. A month after the stabbing, the gang set up a robbery, where the young African immigrant is betrayed by the gang.

Location/Setting

The first location that will be used in the film is in Amandip's garage. This will be used as the bedroom in the uncle's house. Only the garage will be seen as part of the uncle's house, this is to give the viewer a feel of what the rest of the house could be.
The second location will be Nisa Local/Grove. This will be used to stage the shoplifting scene where gang confronts him. This is a shop which is owned by a friend's dad.
The third location will be Goodmayes Park. This will be used for the scene where the stabbing takes place.
The fourth location will be my house. This is where the robbery is going to take place.
The fifth location will be at the end of my road. This is just after the gang betray the young boy, and where he is caught by a police officer.
The total costs for sets and locations are £0.

How the film shows Britishness

Overall I think that my film will show Britishness showing the UK Teen gang crime and showing what impact it has on a persons life, along with all the consequences of being in a gang, all the actors in the film are from Britain so this would also show Britishness
