Final Idea

My final idea is that off a real insight to the dark side of youth culture and how it is escalating out of control, the music in a sense tags along side this kind of culture as one of the many vast social groups that listens to this sort of music. This is portrayal of the real dark side social groups and individuals can hold with them, and how harmful fun can also develop into something terribly horrific. The setting is a Council Estate, consisting of flats, parks, dim lit streets. And it will be at night time, a common hour for these groups to commit their crimes, also creating a mood with the piece, what will coincide with the music. Our Protagonist a typical youth, dressed in a black hoodie, jeans etc. (Also the clothes of his friends) He will be sitting on a bench alone in a park, waiting, or thinking, this will coincide with the building music, when the music picks up pace, he will be met by his accomplices. While the music builds to the eventual drop, certain aspects as drugs, and drinking will be shown as the friends almost prep and socialize around the protagonists bench, the protagonist shows throughout a almost distance from the acting of the group, not talking, while the rest laugh and joke. Towards the eventual build to the near drop of the song, the youth are beating and robbing an adult into a horrific state, an escalation of the youth culture and the true fears of adults coming true. As the song suddenly drops, the protagonist suddenly snaps, certain this is not what he wants, and ridden with fear and shocks, splits. Sprinting away from his mates, subsequently sending them to turn their back on their friend and only protect what they hold most dear, their own safety and well being, and begin to chase him, causing even one of the youths themselves to become a victim of this dark, twisted grip of violence and evil that has caught alot of Youths.

Alot of the Camera work and editing will coincide with the beats and tempo, the building and eventual drop of the music. With quick fast paced shots, to long tracking and various angles to suggest certain characters more influential and stronger than others. Certain shots showed exactly at certain beats on the music, to create a real connection between the song and story on screen, giving that in depth and feel for the story, just like many people get with the music.

Developed Idea


My developed ideas, are built on top of the part in my initial ideas. A story of a misunderstood youth caught up in the wrong crowd, where it was senseless vandalism, it really hits a all time high where he is forced to come along to the group committing a crime, sending the protagonist to a limit where he splits and runs off, subsequently causing him to be chased by his own friends. My ideas consisted of a set in a dim lit night time Council estate, with blocks of flats and dim lit path ways, include other hard hitting factors like drinking and drugs.

Initial Ideas


This is my brainstorm for my initial ideas, while processing a various selection of vague ideas, i began to stick closely to the conventional djaying, and house party style with perhaps a story of a relationship in a house party, of course this is not the course that alot of directors of dubstep take, so I began to look think about the abstract and obscurity enveloped within alot of tunes, this started with the idea of running in a forest, that hyped up chasing, I then began to develop it with violence and a dark side of youth culture and the likes.
