Media Production

We wanted to create a story-based narrative that was both interesting and kept the audience interested. Whilst discussing ideas we came up with an idea of recreating 2pac’s ‘ghetto gospel’. We wanted to bring in the storyline of a man going back on his life and transform this into a more modern outlook whilst making sure that the audience could identify with the narrative. As a group, we believed that we should keep to the British genre and perhaps keep it in black and white.

For inspiration we also looked at Just Jack’s ‘The Day I Died’ which also told the story of the main character going back on his life through a narrative based storyline. From this we saw that our idea could be accomplished and their direct stance was something that we were keen to recreate. As well as this, we liked the irony used in this video with the boy playing with the ambulance at the begining as well as the man reading the book; 'The Day I Died'. This has direct irony and this irony is something that I would like to establish in the production.
