2. Gangster stereotypes
If I where to choose stereotypical roles, then it has
more chance of gaining publicity and making
money, so in this case, when you thinking of a
large Gangster Boss you think, flashy suit, body
guards, jewellery and guns.
This has been shown by many examples, such as
Snatch which made millions because of the use of
stereotypes, and in some cases over exaggerated
stereotypes to create a sense of comedy which
could me incorporated into my film, if it where to
be looked at further.

The use of posters and viral marketing was
used to promote the film as much as
possible, if you are able to create an
awareness of your film on a social networking
site, it can become quickly advertised as long
as people are interested, which in my
case, they should be, as the target audience
fits the social networking majority of
people, that being young adults of 15 to 25
4. What’s the interest?
If I chose a genre that wasn’t uses as frequently
as other genres like Action Adventure, then I
believed it would sell much more, because of the
niche market, if there isn’t something current out
there like your own, it will sell, just like most
businesses, as long as the product itself is up to
the standard. The evidence that Gangster sells is
clear through Guy Richie films which have made
massive successes. Often modern day dramas
also all hold elements of gangster if they are
situated around East London and the poverty
stricken areas, which again can relate back to my
film, not only this but my film also has relation to
horror, which is extremely popular with teenagers.
5. What addressed the audience?
The use of mise en scene and camera shots
enabled a clear idea of what was
happening, as well as it all fitting within the
stereotypes of the genre, for which then it
could sell much easier. The use of slow
camera editing for one scene, then the cut edit
to the next scene, of high tension and fast
paced editing, created a very
impacting, suspense like feel strait away.
Because I used diachronic music the entire
time, it gave a feel that you where actually
there, heightening the tension for the viewer.
6. Examples..
Here is a shot of inside a car, this is a good close up
shot because it makes you feel as if you (the viewer)
are inside the car with the driver, and that you know
what is happening, however you actually do not
understand the plot at this stage, building up a lot of
suspense, increasing the audiences emotions.
7. Close up shot…
This is a powerful shot because of the mise en scene, you can see
the draw open, with the contents with the knife and the gun and the
compass, all to show the period of time this is meant to be set in, but
also to give the viewer an idea of what is going to happen, before the
other person in the actual film does, so it lures in the viewer much
more effectively, as you want to find out what the significance of the
gun.
8. Close up …
Here the gun is pointing almost directly at the viewer, which makes
you feel as if you are going to be shot, however because it is at a
slight angle you know he is aiming at somebody else, however you
still are unaware who, which again builds up the suspense factor. The
slight use of low angle shot makes this man look much more
dominant in comparison to the other characters.
