Blog Task 22: Initial Ideas

Which sub-genre will you create? 
As a group we decided to create a Youth Drama opening title sequence.

Initial plot/story line ideas: The idea was similar to that of 8 mile however with a bit of a twist. Two youths from an urban area who are aspiring rappers. One privileged young man with the equipment to be a success but not the drive, the other with the drive and passion but not the finances or equipment. The film takes us through their journey to try and reach stardom and prove to themselves and each other they deserve to make it.. The title sequence will introduce us to the two main characters and also the social groups in this film.

Character 'types': Two urban youths; one of them will be more serious however doesn't have the material things to be a success such as mixing desk. The other one is less serious however he comes from a privileged background.

Social Groups: The stereotypical social group in youth dramas tend to be 'gangs' however in our story line, we focus more on the 'serious' and 'fun' side of youths and not just young teenagers trying to get into trouble.
