How the story would continue:

In the opening title sequence, we established the two main characters:

In the opening title sequence we hope to hint a parallel story line of the two characters. I , as the director felt that this would be different however still fit into the notions which we associate an urban youth with. The film will evolve as we Tolu's character further into the mourning and depression which he feels towards his 'missing' friend which in the title sequence we can see is clear not. This will allow us a form of tension and conflict to be created by his urge to find her and seeing people who look similar which can lead him to paranoia. In the title sequence we see her explore the same grounds which he plays.

 Even though Tolu's character is very much the lead as in all urban films the story of the girl allows us to look at different perspective as we see her break away from the norm and follow something else to what she was taught for such a long while, I think this would be a concept that no one has yet done an would allow something different to be observed on the screen.
A way in which we would show her old life is the flash back in which her and Tolu share like her panicking about a B on a test as her parents would only accept A's and Tolu as a friend comforting her. This shows a sense of struggle on her side and the unreachable expectations that were thrown on her part. With this in her life we would explore elements of London which people abandon (in films)  that is not necessary urban but has it's own character like Camden. In Camden is when the audience clearly can see who she is by going to sneaking into small gigs and  teach everyone that why she chose to be 'missing' is because she lacked life within herself. Chooses to be tucked away in an attic of her 'lover' which she begged him for. This of course oppose with Tolu who is within the estate and elements which we associate with it and a form of struggle whilst they still wander close by but never have 'contact'.

The tension would break at the peak of the climax when the two parallel parties meet by a very promoted rave which will bring people from all over London. This would lead to a heated conversation to were Tolu punches a wall and goes around London ripping down the poster which he put up.This film would end with him in a telephone booth somewhere in London were he 'contacts' the police and finishes the whole film with the line 'she's dead' and the clip fades as the phone from the booth is releases to hang.
