Ideas for research project

aspirational teenage london youth(black racial background)
movies:

• kidulthood
• adulthood
• anovahood

music (videos and lyrics) :

• chipmunk artist
• wretch 32
• dizzy rascal

looking into these artists and movies will give me an idea of what my topic is about and how it relates to finding out how the media shape the apperance and represent this group.
a summary of my aim would be young teenage kids living a tough life,less privallaged and wanting to make their lives better.when representing this social group you look into the ways they live their life and what they go through. a term they use that would be accurate to describe what im trying to say would be 'hustling' and tring to keep off the streets. in some lyrics they talk about being influenced by the wrong people and getting into illegal things such as drugs in order to afford the life they wanna live and i think its important to listen and see what they are trying to tell/show us.the movies ive listed above are quite different to movies you would usually see because this one has an actual sense of realisim in a way that it is written and the story is told by someones experiences of not only what they've been through but also what they are aware that others have been through or are currently going through.............
