Inspiration for our opening

When deciding on the theme our film we watched a number of teen films such as mean girls, breakfast club etc. But we wanted to be original in our ideas so we all picked a subject we all find interesting and love. We found that we love football so we thought of a way we can integrate this into a 'teen film'. We got ideas from a football movie called 'Goal' in which it shows a boy growing into a professional footballer for Real Madrid. We took the boy growing into a young professional footballer idea from this film.

We then developed this idea by changing certain features from the movie. We added a crime theme to it inspired from the movies kidulthood, shank and bullet boy. The film will now involve a boy from the streets of London who lives around 'gang culture'.
