More Film research.
I found it hard to think of ideas to put into my groups first two minutes of the film. This lead me to do more research on British Gangster films.
I decided to watch Snatch for some research of British Gangster. As the director Guy Ritchie is common for doing the genre of films. The beginning of the film is similar to the other films I have seen. It starts with the monologue or voice over which is in the beginning of the other films. The voice over is spoken by Turkish who is the main character in Snatch, this is also similar to the other films as every film monologue/voice over is spoken by the main character. Snatch also shows in the beginning of the film about what the life they lead is really like. The violence and the crime is shown in the first few minutes of the film. The characters are introduced fairly quickly and we can see how some of the characters are and how they act. The introduction towards the main characters show the audience who’s at the top of the gangsters. This is familiar to our groups piece as we are showing the top gangster and we are also using voice over/ monologues like all British gangster films in what I have watched.
Next I decided to watch a film in what was not British gangster. I decided to watch the Godfather, as this is a well known gangster film. Yet again at the beginning of the film there is a voice over. Throughout the beginning of the film the clip shows a lot of the killings in which this group of gangsters have done. When I watched it I was wondering what was going to happen later on in the film. The beginning shows the violence and the crime as well as the other films do. In my groups film we are shooting the gangsters and in this film it gives good examples of how people could be shot. This has influenced me on some ideas about how the gangsters in my film will do the shootings.

Initial Idea more added.
As my group began to talk about the first two minutes of our film. We decided to add more scenes into it. The beginning two minutes we have now decided to add a bank robbery into it.
This is now what the rest of our film will be based on. It will still follow the life of Vinny and Red, who loose everything they have and the life they lead. But now it has a plot behind how the characters actually lost everything.

Initial Basic Idea.
In the beginning of our film we have a group of gangsters that meet. They believe they meet to settle conflict but really the two main characters have set them up and kill them all.
This is where the film flashes back to where to two main characters actually meet and how the two become partners and two of the well known gagsters.
Their life’s are now shown it shows the killings in which the two have done. Shows the audience how much they had by what they do. The women, Cars, Houses and the money and shows the high hierarchy and how people looked up to the pair.
Then things start to go wrong as they get involved in the wrong job and kill the wrong person. Killing this person was bad as this is how their life’s begin to change.
By killing this man everything they own and love leaves the pair. This is when the two decide to go their different ways and leave each other and grow apart.
Their life’s are then shown in a bad way as they have nothing.
A few years down the line the two decide to do one last job with each other and this is killing the people who made them lose everything.
This is when it goes back to the meeting at the beginning and the killing is shown again.

Film Research
Film Research.
In today’s lesson I managed to watch three films these were the business, Sex and the City and Twilight. The business is in the genre of a British Gangster film. The other two films are in the genre of Romcom which is romantic comedy.
As I only watched one film of British gangster in class I could not say about the similarities in which I noticed because of this I decided to watch another opening of a British Gangster film. I decided to watch the Krays, the similarities that I could see straight away in the opening few minutes is the black background that is put up. In the Krays the background is black for a few minutes why all the titles are shown and gone through the actors names. But in The Business the black background is only used for a short time. The use of monologues are used in both of the films in The Business the speaker of the monologues is Frankie who is played by Danny Dyer he is the main character in this film. In The Krays the monologue is spoken by the mum of the twins but she is not the main character in the film but I see her as the main character in the first few minutes of the film. I decided to watch another British Gangster film and this one was Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels I decided to look at this film to see if there was a monologue in this one. In this, one of the characters are talking over the top at the beginning for a tiny bit. Then the actors are talking in different scenes which shows what the characters are actually doing. Also in this film I decided to look out to see if the black background was being used and it had been used. It was used to put the title of the film on.
In the two Romcom films in which I watched the similarities between the two I noticed was that the two films also as the films listed above both had monologues in them at the beginning. The similarities between the two between music is that the music in sex and the city is low love music which is played throughout the opening. In twilight the music is soft and low as the same as sex and the city. The titles of the films are placed over the top of the clip on which is being shown. In Sex and the city the titles are shown in the corners of the screen. In twilight the titles are shown over the top of the scene that is being shown.
In my group we have decided to do the genre of British Gangster. From watching The Business the aspects in which my group would use from this is the way the life of the characters is at the moment and then how it flashes back to basically how the characters got there. Showing their life before they got to where they started.
