Status update. (Bush)

You need to post regular status updates to your blog throughout your MEST2 coursework to make sure you're keeping up with the work and documenting tutorial feedback. Your first status update needs to include the following:

1) Your finalised group
Izzah, Sophia and Tina.

2) Your initial plans for your new TV programme that meets the MEST2 brief
A boy bought up in a council estate's mother is diagnosed with cancer and approaches the local gangsters enquiring whether he can join the gang to sell drugs in order to pay for his mother's treatment. This leads to him and the bigger drug dealer going for a ride and a misunderstanding takes place which leads to the young boy to touch the gangster. This then causes a big problem as the rest of the gang becomes aware and then ends up going going against the boy and he has noone to help him get out of this mess.

3) A link to your research blogpost - the five TV/film opening scenes you have analysed that will help inform your own ideas and production work.


4) Tutorial feedback.
