Storyline change

props:

headphones.. one small, one big

note pad and pen to write bars

cast needed : ashad, one girl and one bully

ashad plays the character who is trying to improve his rapping skills, whilst he is still learning there is a bully who keeps teasing and laughing at him

there is a girl who ashad seems to have a connection with and they keep locking eyes. he wants to get better at rapping to impress her, when the bully pushes ashad a tears his headphones ashad's crush then comes across and gives him her bigger and better ones and this inspires him even more to get better at rapping.

he goes away and works hard to improve, we will show various situations where he is trying his best to master his craft. eventually he manages to become very good, the bully admits this and gives him some respect then he gets the girl (she comes across and hugs him)

traditional storyline where the underdog rises up, becomes successful and gets the girl.

Detailed:
We have had an idea/storyline change, we have moved a bit away from the young boy and older version of boy being successful, the idea now is similar but with something we felt was better to the overall video and something much more practical.

The new idea change is, we will have our fellow group member Ashad performing all the storyline shots and this is where the change is. It will be Ashad playing a character who is trying to improve and than be successful with his rapping skills. Also his motivation is slightly a girl who he has a bit of a connection with and a bully who teases him and generally is very down putting. Although in this case the bully will determine him to be better at rapping and will use this as a method to show the bully who he is a person and that he wont stand for it but, with this slightly impressing the girl as well.
A proposed  idea to show part of these ideas, is a scene where Ashad is put down again by the bully literally with a push and in this his headphones rip or break, with this the girl makes a move to Ashad for determination and gives her better pair of headphones to him. In a way this is his ignition to really be inspired and work hard and become what he wants to be, a rapper.
After a while we will have a few cut-aways and show the progress he is having, with a few shots showing the struggle as well as the progress, for these there will be various situations but eventually he does become good at rapping and is successful, the bully is than forced to  accept this and shows him the respect he deserves and just like the classic endings he ends up actually getting the girl.
The storyline part of the video should finish with the girl giving a hug to Ashad and him knowing that he has gone through being bullied and struggle of rapping to know being successful, being given respect and of course gets the girl.
