What's In The News?

1st idea: "Terror corruption on the horizon?"



This headline shown above could be the title for a British Social realism movie. This is my idea of how I can use this title to create a British movie. The themes will be based on: terrorism, violence and corruption of youth.  The plot of the story starts off with an Islamic state video being shown going viral, showing terrorists bombing an area and thus murders a handful of innocent people in London. The public goes into a frenzy of panic and is paranoid of going out, in fear of being killed. This prompts the government to take action and holds a conference of how they are going to deal and suppress the increasingly threatening terrorists. The main character is called Abdul and is a smart sixteen year old Muslim boy, who is just living like any ordinary teenager. However, the terrorist that consists of five jihads using propaganda in order to persuade every Muslims to join them in their corrupted acts and this affects Abdul as the story goes on. The leader of the terrorists, Fabio aims to start off bombing small places such as car parks and parks, and then increase the scale of the places/people they are bombing such as David Cameron's car. As Abdul witnesses the ongoing chaos that ensues throughout London, he is torn between following these terrorists because he believes that following them is the right thing to do according to Islam, or actually staying away from these terrorists and helping the government imprison these terrorists. As you continue to watch the movie, the biggest decision of Abdul's life will become clear and it will affect him and other young Muslims who are also in the same situation as him...


 2nd idea:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-30189092

This headline gave me inspiration of a hit and run incident that can occur in a British social realism film. The themes will be based on: violence, aspiration and escape and social class clashes. It is set in London and the plot of the story will begin with a young man: Yuri, in his early twenties running away from a couple of thugs in a gang chasing him. Yuri has many big debts that he needs to pay off but is unable to do so, prompting the gang to capture him and murder him. He barely escapes at the start from the thugs, however from then on his life continues to deteriorate in an unfortunate way. His family and friends get involved, in some cases, they are captured and held for ransom to his complete horror and dismay. Yuri owes debts to gangs because he needs to support his family, who consists of only his two younger twin brother and sister due to his mother dying when he was a baby and his father's mysterious disappearance. He tries many ways of escaping from the intimidating thugs, which includes trying to even leave the country by a bicycle as  his last resort. However, a plot twist that occurs will leave you in complete shock...

3rd idea: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-30196925

This headline also interested me because of how unique it was. Acid isn't really used much in movies as the start of a movie but I believe it can be a great smash mouth opening. It will start off with the masked man as an antagonist throwing acid to the main protagonist - Lucy. The themes for this movie are: Mental illness, violence and success and failure. Lucy is a middle waged woman who is horrified by the acid being thrown at her, also unknown of why this is happening to her. The story carries on with Lucy, attempting to track down the masked man to the best of her ability, using everything she can. The masked man knows that Lucy is coming back after him and he uses malicious in order to lure Lucy into his hands...
