Mise En Scene




Inspiration (Bend It Like Beckham):






We took inspiration from Bend It Like Beckham as the main character is also raised in a traditional muslim home but due to growing up in London  she goes against her cultural background and follows the western ways of life.





The costume that we use is going to be based around our story.


































We will have several locations in our opening to get a real understanding of our what the teen drama is about.

One of our locations is a mosque




















We will also use City and Islington Sixth Form College












We will use the inside of a muslim home
