We are going to make a narrative based music video to accompany the track by artist Fab Soares called Underdog music. Our video is based on split narrative where our protagonist has two choices. A life of crime which has helped to support his mother and suplement his hedonistic lifestyle. However his drug dealing antics have sowly caught up with him and he has become embroilled in a drugs war with a rival gang. Or will it be boxing that is his saviour from this lifestyle of crime. It follows a day in the life of our young protagonist who will be played by Clifford Williams. And it will portray how he's balancing selling drugs, school and boxing and also the threat of rivals running up on him. This will all culminate in him either being stabbed as a result of gang tension or him in the ring rising up as the underdog. All of which will be set in the urban backdrop of White City and Ladbroke Grove.
Locations & Sypnosis & Plan
So we are going to use a variety of locations which we think would be stereotypical of a young innercity youth growing up in where violence and crime is prominent. To create a realistic visual portrayal of a street narrative its essential that we choose the right location that we think could support our protagonists nature and story and that we conform to the you are a product of your environment location. To do this Ladbroke Grove and White City are perfect for presenting our story. Not only do we want to show the story of our protagonist but also we want to represent the areas that we have grown up in and that we can relate to in a way. These will be our external shots to show the envrioment that the protagonist is in so we will alternate between both which are relatively close to each other. Different shots of Ladbroke Grove will serve as establishing shits and will feature in a montage of the area in black and white and slow motion to accompany the beat and rhythm of the music with the title of the music.
Shots that open up for the narrative will be done in either Clifford or my house. So this will involve Clifford getting up out of bed with Mohammed Ali posters and boxing gloves by his bedside wall and also posters of luxury items such as sports cars, jewellery and women. He will be putting his school clothes on however there will also be shot of his stack of money and his knife by his bed side table to give early indications of what else he does. The room is quite cramped and messy to create the sense that he his quite poor. Obviously our school shots will be in Gunnersbury and will show Clifford working to present the protagonist as a hard working and smart young man who is trying to make his mother proud through education. These will be shot on school premises and in school class rooms around Gunnersbury.
Shots of Clifford selling drugs and him on the street corner with his mis en scene denotting a tracksuit indicates his altering lifestyles and the person he is outside of school. Shots of him around the area will alternate with him hitting the puching bags at a gym in slow motion and this will then alternate with shots of him in a black background with boxing gloves contrasting with images of expensive clothing. Our video culminate in two different scenarios. One could be the consquence of living a criminal lifestyle or the other could be in the ring fighting using the theme of the underdog to represent him rising up from the negativity in his life.
