beachcombing for inspiration

Costume

These costumes are quite basic everyday wear which is quite cheap so therefore it would suit the under-class people. Most characters in BSR tend to not give much attention to appearance and these costumes are quite effortless meaning they would usually wear this. 

Location

I choose these council flats as inspiration for the location as I think they connote poverty and portray the living conditions of the under-class people in Britain showing a realistic perspective.

I think these alley ways would be appropriate for themes of drugs as they are quite secretive and have a rough look towards them with the graffiti. The alley ways help to show the urban parts of Britain and the  vandalism that goes on in these areas.

I think a Chicken shop would be a realistic place to film a BSR because most teens would meet up or go to eat because chicken shops are very local in urban parts of Britain and also very cheap. Teens are usually broke so this is a realistic way to show their underclass status and the poverty.

Props

Drugs are one of the themes I am considering to include in my BSR film so these props would be appropriate to denote the theme and help my audience understand the storyline clearer. The props would also show how drugs look and the way they are used showing the side effects.

I think the use of alcohol in a BSR is very realistic if the target audience will be teenagers. Many under aged teens in Britain drink alcohol which leads them to become quite rebellious, the alcohol also connotes the theme of corruption of youth as well. 

The bike for a prop for transport in BSR is very realistic as it denotes  poverty because most teens cannot afford cabs and cars for transport, they would usually travel by bike as it is a cheaper option. 

Typography

I like the look of these typography styles for the credits because they are quite simple but eye-catching which is what I believe is key to not taking away the attention from the film but also recognizing the credits as well.

Music

I think this type of music would be best suited for BSR as it is quite up to date and modern having quite a rebellious feel towards it. This music was also used in Kidulthood which is a teenage targeted film so therefor it is suitable to teens as well.

I also like this song which was also used in kidulthood as it once again has a thuggish feel towards it which would connote the type of rebellious characters in the film.
