change in personality.
Have good knowledge on this genre of music and have both a negative and
positive opinion on artists entering this genre.

Is this a subject I have a strong emotional connection

with?
Yes

What is unusual or interesting about it?

People automatically associate grime music with a negative persona causing
crime within teens I aim to look into this genre with a less negative approach

The focus of the documentary will evolve around my younger brother who is at
the age where their musical preferences can change.
