Treatment
Title: Southpaw
The reason why our target audience will be attracted to this as it mixes modern day boxing with religion and the gender will be attracted to the boxing side of there film and it would also attract Muslims as the boxer is Muslim and has a struggle to decide over his religion or hes dreams , the theme religion will attract allot of religious people were the boxing will attract the sports people.
The USP of our film is the fact that we have mixed religion with boxing as there isn't any big films that have mixed the combinations of both things that requires someone to be dedicated to. Another one is that we have used Muslims as the base of our BSR film and there isn't many films that use this as a base.
Representation:
The protagonist in our film is a Muslim boxer called Yusuf Majeed and is a stereotypical Muslim however enjoys boxing and is hes dream to become a professional boxer as he is boxing at a armature rate yet. He feels that hes parents will disapprove of hes boxing therefore keeps it from them and tells them that he is doing other stuff like going prayer and other stuff.
The antagonist in our film is not a person however is the situation that yusuf faces, this is the main theme of the film as it is the choice between the hes dream and hes religion.
Technology:The technology is our film will be very basic as we don't have allot of facility's to use however this is a good thing as it makes the opening sequence looked unvarnished therefor will have more of an affect on the audience. The technology will consist of hd cameras, boom microphones , screening, imovie and other computer based editing systems, these will all be used to make our film more realistic and to add focus on certain parts and characters.
Conventions- The main character yusuf subverts the normally stereotypical Muslim type as he does boxing and it is against there religion however he is also obverted as he is into the normal stuff that Muslims are but just isn't dedicated, the parents are also observed as they are the typical Asian parents , there into there religion and are quit strict.
Narrative- The summary of our story is : there is a Muslim kid called yusuf that has a dream of becoming a professional boxing fighter however faces a big problem as he is also religious and it is against hes religion to fight therefore he is left with a decision of religion or boxing.
The opening sequence will consist of: yusuf leaving hes house where he is meant to be going mosque however when he arrives then stops and then Carry's on past the mosque to go hes boxing training instead. On the way home he is then faced with a problem as he is confronted by a Gang .
The clothes that will be worn will be normal jogging bottoms and jackets as it shows how the middle class live. the music will be Grimm as it is a common genre of music for the lower class people and fr people that like sports.
The camera will be rough and unvarnished most of the time as it creates more verisimilitude and makes and makes the audience get more of the personality of the characters.
Style & iconography- the music will be grime as it adds more of a affect for the youth and is the type of music that the audience will listen to and the character.
Yusuf who is our main character mainly wears tracksuit bottoms and tops as he is very sportive and cannot afford allot of expensive clothes and stuff.
The editing and camera work will be unvarnished as it adds more affect and makes the audience see more of the personality of the character.
Institution- Film 4 would produce a film like this as it is a BSR film and there wouldn't be much distribution as film 4 cannot afford allot , the exhibition will mainly be in normal cinemas all over England as it relates to allot of issues that are faced in different areas such as religion.
