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.
