Proposal

Proposal for Work Ethic.

Work Ethic is a film about three underground Hiphop artists who
are trying to become comercially successfull without changing
their style and "selling out". The opeinig sequence we will be making
will show the three artists freestyling, showing their talent and
their very uncomercial style. The other sequence will show them watching
a music video to a comercial "hiphop" song, and the films protagonist
explains about how it is the mainstreams idea of hiphop is what is
holding them back. The film will be made in a similar style to 8 Mile and
Get Rich or Die Trying but without the "ghetto" settings. It could be
considered as social realism as it shows the realness of trying to
become comercially sucessful as a hiphop artist.

To make this film we will require:
                  .a camera
                  .sound recording equiptment
                  .suitable locations
                  .props such as hiphop cds, turntables, a mixer.
                   a MPC beat machine etc.
                 

This film is aimed mainly at hiphop fans who are into the music but also to
people who may have been fans of films like 8 Mile, who are unaware of hiphop
outside of the mainstream, and could even possibly open more people up to
hihop as a thoughtful and clever music, as opposed to the "gangsta" image frequently
seen in the press.
