Production Log 8

The idea for our BSR concept came from a lot of different aspects. Racism in BSR is a key theme which is almost always touched upon in the BSR genre, and we felt we had to put a twist on the stereotype of caucasian males in london exploiting extreme racism amongst youth culture. Our idea is easy to portray due to the many different types of violent racism, not just knife crime and gang culture which is a big issue in London. Racism towards Islam is usually motivated by a spark in events shown in the media in different parts of the world, such as the shootings at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, and the Sydney cafe siege. A friendship between a two boys of different cultures becoming friends shows the good side to boys caught up in gangs and explores the peer pressure involved in attacking someone you genuinely like and have no reason to attack. Living in the very multicultural society in suburban London, has its benefits which allowed us to find suitable actors for the role.

As it goes for choosing a partner to work with in this piece of coursework, I needed someone I had a good friendship with and knew they are reliable. Eoin is calm and thinks relatively in the same ideologies as me, so combined i feel we could make a good BSR film. A passion for media and good skills with editing and filming combined will make sure our BSR opening sequence is a success and i don't doubt that we will let this film fail as we are both very strong, passionate and really want to do well in  this piece of coursework.
