My group's idea is about a 16 year old teenager called Mathew, who lives in an estate with his mum,who acts different with his family and different in front of his friends. The opening scene is of him getting ready to go to school. He goes to a private school, whilst he is getting ready, he is listening to rap/hip hop music. He hears his mum walking up the stairs, so he quickly changes it to the news. His mum walks in and tells him to hurry up and get downstairs. She walks back downstairs and he switches the TV off and grabs his back and goes downstairs. He has his breakfast and then says to his mum that he is leaving. He walks out the door, and as soon as he slams the door behind him, hip hop music starts (non-diegetic). The music starts and he walks around the corner of his estate, and opens a box, and finds his clothes. He gets changed into a black tracksuit, and his image completely changes. He starts bopping towards his bike, and gets on it and rides off. He then goes to meet his friends. His friends are the stereotypical hood boys, they are wearing track suits, hats, smoking. They start a conversation and his friends give him a bag, and then a police car rolls up next to them. His friends then push him of his bike, and run off. The police grab Mathew and floor him and check the bag. They put hand cuffs around his wrists and tell him he is under arrest.

We are going to be filming in an estate called Smith Farm We are using this estate, so it enforces the stereotypical views and it will go well with the genre of our work. We will be filming at this location throughout the entire scenes.
