This document outlines a production idea that follows several main characters and their intersecting narratives. The main character, Jay, faces challenges like peer pressure to do drugs from his school friends. Different settings like a council flat and dark alleys will be used to portray times when Jay is struggling. The production will employ techniques like pathetic fallacy using rain scenes. It will draw from similar titles produced by Pathe and utilize media language elements like lighting, soundtrack, shots and color scheme to represent realistic, contemporary issues around stereotypes faced by working class teenagers.

1. Our Production Idea By Gurjoth, Sebastian

2. The NarrativeThe narrative involved severalmain characters, who we will be focusing on the most. The characters have their own story.The audience are slowly introduced to each one.A example of a battle the character will face is against his peers at school. Many of his friends do drugs, peer pressure him into doing the same. Shown to be a type of social outcast.The characters narratives will come together by the end of the production.

4. Todrovs TheoryEquilibrium- character living his normal lifeDisequilibrium- This may be when he is pressured to take drugs, or even a death of a family member or friendRe Equilibrium- The character finds a resolution to the problem. The opening sequencewill also follow a linear narrative

5. Different Settings We May Use.One example of a setting used would be a council flat. For it fits in with the narrative as “jay” is not the richest of people.Dark alleys for when bad scenes are used or when he is going through a tough timeSchool is also key as it plays a big role in the narrative.Hopefully rain will take place when we film as we wish to use the technique of pathetic phallacy.

6. The Institution Pathe, has a major presence in the UK film industry. It is involved in all aspects of film making, such as production, through to international development.Similar titles. Examples are Kidulthood and Adulthood.
