Research for Ideas


Idea 1:
Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking is exploiting people without consent to do so. 
Sexual exploitation 87%
In the UK police believe that 4,000 have been brought into the country and forced to work as prostitute. 
The gangs behind the trade sell women from £2,000 to £8,000
‘Human trafficking, the modern day slave trade is the fastest growing form of international crime.’
There have been cases of which women have been lured in by adverts in there countries for jobs, these can vary in occupations. 
The ages of people who are trafficked vary between generally the ages 18-24 years but there have been cases of young children trafficked as well.
On Tuesday 2nd October 2007 the BBC posted on there website an article about children being trafficked into the UK to work as prostitutes or child labours. UNICEF told the BBC that more than half the children smuggled into the UK go missing. 
“Fear, deprivation, hunger, being beaten, being sexually abused… we suspect there are thousands,” said David Bull, executive director of Unicef UK.
“For a child to be brought to the UK for purposes of exploitation is the most horrendous experience imaginable.”
Child slavery is not a thing of the past it is a thing of the present.
Idea 2:
Crime and Gangster Films are developed around the sinister actions of criminals or gangsters, particularly bank robbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and violently murdering their way through life.


In the 1940s, a new type of crime thriller emerged, more dark and cynical.


They glorify the rise and fall of a particular criminal(s).


Gangster/crime films are usually set in large, crowded cities, to provide a view of the secret world of the criminal: dark nightclubs or streets with lurid neon signs, fast cars, piles of cash, sleazy bars, contraband, seedy living quarters or rooming houses.


Rivalry with other criminals in gangster warfare is often a significant plot characteristic.



Our scene would look something like this clip from film, True Romance, with a few adaptations.
