Costumes and props

Chav clothes for the two boy characters.
We want the boys to look quite chavy and rough because they are living in the rough parts of Bristol. We want the image of them living rough to come across so dressing them in tracksuits etc will hopefully get across that stereotypical chav lifestyle.



Props...
- A fake gun
- Bed
- Lamp
- Curtains

Location Location Location

BRISTOL...




















































Bristol looks a lot like some parts of London so I think it will be quite easy to get the location looking okay.
We will film the part where they are talking in the room at Rosie's flat.

Story line

Film Studies Coursework Project

The whole story: Our basic story line is for two young boys to grow up on a rough part of Bristol in a council flat. The oldest of the two brothers gets involved with the wrong crowd and ends up having to look after one of the gang's gun that he used to kill someone with. The police find out.. it all gets messy.
The older boys then gets more and more involved with these people and ends up tearing his family apart. The story ends with the youngest boy dying!!!!
The older boy is to blame.

We have the idea to set it as if it's Bristol. Our main plot was to have two characters in the shot. The characters would be two brothers living in a council flat with their mum and step dad. The shot starts when the youngest brother comes home and runs up to his room. The older brother hears him coming and quickly tries to hide the gun he is keeping for some dodgy friends of his. He hides it under his duvet. The younger brother walks in and realizes he is being suspicious and confronts him. He then finds the gun under the duvet and they start to argue.

End of scene.
