10/9/2021
PRESENTATION TITLE 2
• DURATION: 3 MINUTES AND 48 SECONDS
• LONDON IS A REALISTIC DEPICTION OF SOCIAL ISSUES AND WANTING TO FIT IN. THE MUSIC
VIDEO WILL FOLLOW A YOUNG BOY, AND HIS FRIENDS, FROM A DEPRIVED AREA OF LONDON
WHO FINDS IT HARD TO APPRECIATE WHERE HE IS FROM AND THEREFORE ATTEMPTS TO SEEK
VALIDATION FROM HIS FRIENDS WHO COME FROM WEALTH BY PRETENDING HE IS FROM THERE
BY STEALING HIS SISTERS MONEY TO PLEASE A GIRL OR “FLEXING” MONEY ON HIS SOCIAL
MEDIA TO APPEAR MORE WEALTHY DISPITE HIS SISTER NEEDING THE MONEY FOR RENT
BECAUSE HIS MUM IS SICK; STRUGGLING TO PAY BILLS AND FOOD. THUS AS A RESULT OF THIS
HE LOOSES HIS SELF IDENTITY AS HE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN DESIGNER CLOTHES AND
EXPENSIVE SHOES AND CHICKEN AND CHIPS BUT BY GOING THROUGH LIFE CHANGING
EXPERIENCES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF A FRIEND DUE TO A ROBBERY INDUCED BY HIS FLEXING HE
STARTS REALISING THAT WITHIN DEPRIVATION THERE IS COMMUNITY AND HOME HE
APPRECIATES WHERE HE COMES FROM.

PRESENTATION TITLE 3
• GENRE- DRAMA, CRIME, NON FICTION
• THEME- LOSS OF IDENTITY, INDIVIDUALISM VS COLLECTIVISM, LOYALTY, VIOLENCE
• SUBJECT MATTER- POVERTY AND GANG VIOLENCE
4. • THE ATTRACTION FOR AN AUDIENCE- GANG VIOLENCE AND DEPRIVATION. GANG RELATED DEATHS ARE
EXTREMELY COMMON IN LONDON. IN 2018 THERE WAS 132 HOMOCIDES AND ROUGHLY MORE THAN A ¼
WAS GANG RELATED. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT PLAGUES MANY DEPRIVED AREAS IN LONDON AFFECTING BOYS
AS YOUNG AS 12 YEARS OLD WHO COME FROM HOMES OF NEGLECT AND ABUSE, MANY WHOM JOIN GANGS
TO FLEE DEPRIVATION AND GAIN STATUS OR TO SIMPLY SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY. AS WELL AS DEPICTING A
SELF ACCEPTANCE NARRATIVE MY MUSIC VIDEO WILL ALSO DEPICT HOW ALTHOUGH NOT GANG
AFFILIATED, WORKING CLASS BOYS CAN STILL BE AFFECTED MY GANG BRUTALITY AND VIOLENCE. THE
MUSIC VIDEO WILL ATTRACT THOSE WHO LIVE IN DEPRIVED AREAS, YOUNG TEENAGE BOYS, AND GIRLS AS
IT IS A REALITY MANY OF THE, GO THROUGH
Audience
5. • THE VIEW POINTS:
• THE FEASIBILITY: EVEN THOUGH THERE WILL BE A DEATH SCENE HERE THE
MUSIC WILL PAUSE AND THERE WILL BE SOME DIALOGUE AT 2;19, THE MUSIC
VIDEO IS VERY SIMPLISTIC AND REAL WHICH MEANS IT DOESN’T REQUIRE A LOT
OF PHOTOSHOP KNOWLEDGE.
