TV: Postmodernism and Deutschland 83

I’m planning to make a short trailer for my production and I will try to show how an average group of friends from an urban environment who’s trying to make it into a sports career basketball and the different routes they have and the impact of each decision. Although, they're surrounded by bad people who do things which are illegal, some of them are trying to live a good life and avoid all problems of such whereas, the others have given up. this will be shown by their attitudes and way of speaking which will be through diegetic sound and mise en scene which will show how successful their lifestyle of criminal activities have done e.g. by designer clothing, money, drugs. Although, their background/environment stops them from searching for their success and has determined to prove everyone wrong and make it out of the "hood". However, the group of friends split up into 2, they choice different routes. This will show how stereotypes aren't right as people do try to escape certain environments to have a better life.

The start of the trailer will be on the streets where all the boys are introduced. They all begin to talk forgetting about basketball and take up a life of crime. They try encouraging each other to become a bad people as that’s the only way to live in the urban city. However, some of them decline the offer although they put the others down by criticising their skills and saying there's no hope left. I will be using non diegetic music which will be urban music at a low volume as there'll be diegetic sound of the characters talking. whilst they're walking opposite ways there'll be an over the shoulder shot that will show the people on the side and their movements. whilst they talk i will add a shot reverse shot or a birds eye view over the group. 

The group of friend keep training and begin to become better and better as a team and individually. From practising his skills, layups, shots everything just to become someone and make it out of the hood. When he’s training i will use non diegetic sound (motivational urban music maybe meekmill) and this will be presented in a montage form. 

the idea of this is to represent that the "hood" is shown to lead you in one way which is a bad lifestyle and no matter how hard you  try it wont be possible to escape. this is why my target market will be aimed at ABC1 and ages of 12+. the reason ive picked these demographics is because ages early as 12 would be wondering what life has to offer growing up and how different life choices can effect your life and how to avoid problems that some of the characters will face. further more, the ABC1 groups would be getting educated on how people struggle in life on a day to day basis, which would help them eliminate the negative stereotype of people in urban areas are corrupt but this displays how they're forced into the lifestyle.  also, reformers and inspires would like this coming of age films as it helps them view life in different angles and how people not in their environment are surviving and what negativity life offers them. 

The media theory of Todorv's equilibrium theory will start of to be the friends talking about what they're going to do as they decide whether or not they should follow a route. the disequilibrium of this trailer would be when the group who choice the road life encounter a major problem where someone they know gets killed and are panicking on what to do.  the new equilibrium will be when the group of friends try help the others get out of that life style and guide them to a better route where they all study and work hard to make it out and the end result will be them getting scouted for a team. 

blumler and katz theory is displayed throughout this trailer/production as it shows personal identification. for example, the younger viewers may relate to this as they're growing up and experiencing these issues. also, personal relations is shown which relates to the viewers as they could sympathise for the characters as they may see this happen in everyday life. To an extent, this shows surveillance. this is because it shows whats occurring in less economic areas of London is like and how they have to struggle through life to succeed. diversion is shown through this production as it demonstrates how social media can influence a person. this is done by showing off on social medias with loads of money, and designer clothes as they think it'll make them better people and to stand out as famous people wear these clothes. 

The way my production will gain awareness is by social media apps like snapchat,instagram and facebook as i could upload snippets of my production work which will gain interest of my target market as people as young as 12 are socially active on these social medias. furthermore, posters could be placed on facebook when scrolling down which can also contain a catchy slogan so people will easily identify it. in addition, word of mouth could increase the awareness/promotion of my production as screenshots could be posted of the poster or parts of the trailer so it can gain more viewers as people would be curious of what the plot of this is as its in a known/relate-able scenes e.g. estates,basketball courts etc. BFI would support the making of my production as they're a low budget film company and they would like my production idea as it displays stereotypes and beliefs and how they aren't always correct.

However, the group of friends split up into 2, they choice different routes. This will show how stereotypes aren't right as people do try escape certain environments to have a better life to get away from bad environments and that people who are in certain environments get treated differently.

The opening scene starts on the street where all the boys are introduced. They all begin to talk forgetting about basketball and take up a life of crime.

the idea of this is to represent that the "hood" is shown to lead you in one way which is a bad lifestyle and no matter how hard you  try it wont be possible to escape. However, this displays a persons motivation to chase his goal and succeed in life and he grinds everyday to practise to show his talent. After, proving himself he finally makes it. This shows that no matter who puts you down and your limitations in life, you can still be able to achieve what u want if u work hard for it.

This challenges stereotypes as a theorist called Medhusts says that not all valued judgements are correct as in my production it will show not every minority or someone from a broken background commits crime too survive and that they're negative individuals who do not strive success to become a better person. However, my product does show how different decisions can impact someones life whether it's negative or positive. Also, this mainly shows that by getting help by friends, family, others that it can impact and guide your life to a different directions.(shown in the new equilibrium) 

im planing to make a 1-2min production and i will try to show how an average person from an urban environment whos trying to make it into a sports career basketball. although, hes surrounded by bad people who do things which are illegal, hes trying to live a good life and avoid all problems of such. this will be shown by their attitudes and way of speaking which will be through diegetic sound and mise en scene which will show how successful their lifestyle of criminal activities have done. although, his background stops him from searching for his success hes determined to prove everyone wrong and make it out of the "hood".   this will show how stereotypes aren't also right as people do try escape certain environment to have a better life and that people who are in certain environments get treated differently. 

this opening scene starts in a school where he goes towards a basketball court and gets stopped by some "roadmen" who know. they try encourage him to become a bad life as thats the only way to live in the urban city. however, he declines their offer although they put him down. i will be using non diegetic music which will be urban music at a low volume as there'll be diegetic sound of the characters talking. whilst hes walking there'll be an over the shoulder shot that will show the people on the side and their movements. whilst they talk i will add a shot reverse shot.

he keeps training and  becomes better and better. from practising his skills, layups, shots everything just to become someone and make it out of the hood. when hes training i will use non diegetic sound (motivational urban music maybe meekmill) and this will be presented in a montage form.
