Storyline Idea change

We previously had the idea of showing the change with two characters, Angle(Harris) and kid version of Angle(not set), as you can see not set, this is due to the kid, the smaller version which will show the transition of the change of life, age, surroundings and as a person. The smaller version of Angle was an issue as we needed someone who would be able to represent that change but also be able to give their time at the times we had to give, from here is where the problem started and after looking at our options and even trying to work against some of the times we could not really give, we still failed to have enough time with the smaller kid fro filming. Our conclusion after meeting and talking was to change our idea completely, but than again after re-considering with a media teacher we were told to change the original idea but not as much, something that still shows a change of life for the artist. The storyline idea we now as a group have decided to follow is below.

One of our group members, Ashad plays the character who is trying to improve his rapping skills-(trying to represent Angel and his life), whilst he is still learning there is a bully who keeps teasing and laughing at him, which will represent physical struggle but life itself.

There is a girl who Ashad seems to have a connection with and they keep locking eyes-(we felt to add this kind of classic story tale as it makes the whole life story representation that one more step better and also shows a boost in morale and confidence for the artist). We set Ashad's goals as him wanting to get better at rapping to impress the girl, after we represent this next bit for more struggle when the bully pushes Ashad, this tears his headphones and Ashad's crush then comes across the girl again and gives him her bigger and better ones and this inspires him even more to get better at rapping-also shows the move that the girl makes, she boosts his confidence and determines him to succeed by working harder and become a big artist.

He goes away and works hard to improve, we will show various situations where he is trying his best to master his craft-this will be through having a few cut-aways showing his progress. Eventually he manages to become very good, the bully admits this and is forced to accept his talent and shows him some respect, ends in Ashad getting the girl (she comes across and hugs him) and being successful as an artist.

This is a traditional storyline where the underdog rises up, becomes successful and gets the girl.
