The document discusses the filmmaker's original plan for an all-black cast and how changes had to be made due to cast issues. It also discusses the use of both male and female characters from different ethnic backgrounds. The filmmaker aimed to subvert stereotypical representations in British urban films by using a predominantly black cast and portraying females in typically male roles involving guns, gangs, and drug dealing. Music and props were chosen carefully to fit the film's genre. The combination of the main film trailer and ancillary texts of a poster and magazine cover were effective in reinforcing each other through consistent incorporation of characters, title, and themes.
