TAGLINE:
Doors are closed..there's no where to run..who do you turn to?

WHOLE SYNOPSIS FILM:
When 17 year old girl Nadia gets too deeply caught up in a world of her own illusions does she only realise she’s far too deep to get out. Caught up in drugs and brushing off her religious expectations she finally grasps on to reality, that her friends are not really her friends and drugs is not a girls best friend. All doors are locked in her face, who will she turn to for help?

PLOT:
We have four fast scenes introducing the themes that will occur in the film. First of two boys exchanging drugs, second of a girl being bullied in school toilets by two older girls, third of two boys fighting and fourth of an intimate scene of a boy and girl. A 17 year old boy Jamal is working with drugs and is promising to his customers that he will give them their share as long as they pay. However he has no plan of giving them anything, clearly drowning himself in deep taboo. We're also introduced to a girl who comes from a muslim family, however due to her life outside of the house revolving around her hijab she takes it off a long with her insecurity as a teenager. Her 'friend' Tanisha introduces her to the world of drugs and sex where she drowns in her own troubles with no friend including Tanisha to get her out of it.


CASTS:
Director – Rashaa Albani
Producer – Adam Ayaddi + Rukhsar Barakzai

CHARACTERS IN THE FILM:
Adam - Jamal
Rukhsar - Nadia
Anita - Tanisha

COSTUMES:
The costumes the characters wear are street-like and would be categorised as ghetto. It reflects on today’s trends youths tend to follow and creates a sense of realism in the movie. The costumes also reflect on the characters revealing their personalities and giving the audience a first impression of what these people may be like. It allows the audience to feel a step closer to knowing a bit about them.

SOUND:
We researched a variety of soundtracks that would best suit our opening sequence and we have found a particular genre: GRIME.
The track was found on you tube called The Last Straw by Giggs. This track is not a copyright so we will be able to use it successfully.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This urban social realism film is aimed at mostly teenage youths as arguably it’s the kind of situations that goes on around them and would intrigue them.
The lifestyle our target audience would lead a so called “streetlife” the way youths of today live their lives which is potenially negative.
The age would be 15+ and the brands that youths would recognise are nike, adidas, g-shock, blackberry, converses etc.
Our target audience would be interested in media like computer games, music, internet, TV, films etc.

INFLUENCES:
As a group we were influenced by the use of split screens used in the opening sequences of Adulthood and thought it would be a good idea to use it in our own opening sequence. It created a lot of excitement which is important for a beginning of any movie as it would bring the audience in, which is widely important.
The music was another thing we really liked. It was very urban like which suited the genre. We thought that making a soundtrack similar to the one used in Adulthood, it would be the perfect idea as we need non diegetic sounds to reflect the atmosphere of what's going on in the opening scene of the film.

GENRE:
As a group we chose to base our film’s genre on urban social realism as we wanted to address issues to do with today’s London society and the impact it is having on today’s generation of youths.

LOCATION:
Harrow Road, Maryland Road and Paddington Academy.
The reason for this loaction is because it's full of working class people and teenagers who come from working class background tend to be the troubled ones and the victims of drowning into taboo. Also the location of a school creates a sense of realism as a school is where teenagers spends most their teenage lives and therefore we are able to see how it affects their lives.
