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.
