Our group has been doing some product research into similar products. For this Dan, Dave and I each took a film or television drama of our choice andanalysed it, extracting helpful tips to use for our film. For my research I chose to use the popular television series 'Top Boy'.
Top Boy is a programme about a drugs ring in South London following people through there different encounters and events. From this I was able to get a deeper view into what we needed to do and achieve in order to make out film seem more realistic and keep a better flow with camera techniques and movement etc. As well as being similar story line as our film, Top Boy also has the same target audience as us, so we will use the same advertising techniques they used to promote their series. In this series, the main character called Dushane, is now running Summerhouse (The estate in which they live) without his best-friend, Sully. His business relationship with his boss Joe has blossomed and they are about to move into the big time with a large shipment of drugs. But Dushane misses Sully, particularly when he is confronted by a new enemy. With his reputation as Top Boy on the line, Dushane must take drastic action to keep hold of his new-found power and needs Sully on side again. This dramatic yet gritty storyline is exactly what we are after for our film and is a brilliant way to gain ideas.
