My partner and I have decided to create a hood crime film trailer based on our analysis of successful trailers in this genre such as Ill Manors, Harry Brown, and Adulthood. We were drawn to the exciting conventions of the hood crime genre, which typically focuses on the struggles of young black men growing up in urban environments surrounded by gang activity, poverty, and crime. Key themes include reality, survival, identity, and gang violence. Generic conventions include realistic portrayals of criminals and criminal acts set in run-down urban areas, with a focus on stereotypical characters, slang, violence, drugs/alcohol, and hip hop music.
