Story board

When we designed a narrative alongside the music we used a story-boarding process to help keep on track and understand our narrative. We decided that the story line was going to be about a young people having dreams to live lavish but society is hard to make yourself rich. We also wanted to represent how friendships and good vibes can help boost a humans confidence when knocked down. We decided the protagonist is a female to break the typical, tradition grime genre of using males to tell a narrative. The are generally shown as sex objects or possessions. 

The poor girl/s will be shown to follow their dreams and succeed; we want a struggle or the outlook they have on life when being poor. When he deeped the concept we thought it may not be relate-able so we used two girls that are not together but are shown to relate on the same subject of living a wealthy, perfect life. We wanted to show they can take control of their life by using word play of ' I stir the ship i'm the captain'. We also thought to will empower and inspire more individual women but also males to reach their targets in life. Woman are rated highly for taking charge in grime videos so we wanted to change this.
