Narrative

Song Narrative -
Kendrick Lamar - The Art Of Peer Pressure is a song with a clear narrative. The narrative consists of a young Kendrick lamar participating in the day to day activity with his older cousin. His older cousin is part of a California gang called Pirus (Bloods). To begin with the story starts off in a car. As the characters progress in their journey, they encounter several obsticals and as a gang they choose to react to those obsticals in different ways (i.e. bumping into girls and flirting, seeing opposing gang members and interigating). Towards the end of the song, the gang indulge in a house robbery and are involved in a car getaway from the police. My aim is not to copy the exact story narrative of the story. I want to tweak some aspects.

This is a filming schedule I drafted according to the availability of my participants. For example, Callum, the driver of the car is only available on Sundays due to work during the week, therefore my filming is extremely limited.
