Task 1: Planning

 

Iranian Underground (Hidden) Music/ Busking in London

While in a big city like London there are a huge number of busking and it’s legally permitted by the Government, in Iran some Iranian musicians challenging for getting permission from the Government to release their production have to hold underground concerts.

 

Subject Idea

My favorite subject idea will be comparing Iranian underground music to Busking music in a city like London. Whit the word underground, I don’t mean playing music in underground or subway, in Persian context, it means any music which is played hiddenly. I came with this idea because from the time I’m living in London I’ve seen an obvious difference between the conditions under which a musician in London is playing his musical instrument with an Iranian musician who comes across with a lot of difficulties from the time he writes his favourite piece of work and produce it to the point when he is not able to get permission to release it in public.

Here I have put the mood board of the idea.

 

 

Format

It will be a short documentary of 10-15 minutes in an interview format to be released on an online platform like youtube or TV show, it could be part of another TV show as well.

 

Genre

This documentary will be based on factual informative documents interviewing a few Iranian underground musicians and also busking in London.

 

Style

The style I will choose will be a stand camera interviewing musicians. I will personally interview a Busker about his background in music and his current situation. For the Iranian Musicians, I will use existing online video clips and interviews. I will personally explain about both sides in front of the camera.

 

Audience

Th target audience I’ve aimed for my documentary will be the young generation in Iran who have an interest in music. I think this would be suitable for the range of age I’ve chosen because it will make them get to know more about their situation and busking in London.

 

Intended Aim

I will make this documentary to get the target audience to learn more about the aspects of busking music in London and also to know the situations they have to meet to achieve to their goals in music especially if they would like to get inspired by foreign music style.

 

Budget

I will use two cameras and tripod from the college, so I don’t have to pay for them. One of my classmates will help me with one of the cameras so there will be no budget for the crew. I will pay for the travel expenses by tube or bus. It will take about £30 for fees and contingencies.
