IDEAS FOR OUR TITLE SEQUENCE

Our group has discussed different ways in which we could approach final project, after discussing with our media teacher we decided we should do the opening from Boyz in da hood. The problem was we felt as if the actual opening from the film might be too difficult and so we decided that maybe it wasn't the right idea. In the end we decided that instead of taking the exact opening of Boyz in da hood, we should use the concept of the film as inspiration.At the beginning of Boyz in da hood they displayed the messages below.

This gave us the idea that we should slightly adapt this message in order to relate to young black teens growing up in deprived areas of London as our group is entirely made up of black teens. This allowed us to use hood films from the UK (such as Kidulthood) as inspiration alongside our original concept of an "english Boyz in da hood"

Character ideas

From this idea our group also came up with a few characters we could use to introduce in our opening such as;

• The unemployed teen mum
• The "hoodrat"
• The smart girl/ "nerd" who wants to do something productive with her life
• The girl who has to work to support her family(possibly a dropout)

We are planning to use locations and heavily stereotyped costume in order to clearly introduced these characters as we are only allowed to use limited/no dialogue.
