Genre Conventions
Analysis
What genre is your A2 production?
Following the film trailer analysis that my partner and I have carried out ,
my partner and I have decided to create a hood crime trailer. we have
explored different types of trailers and concluded that the one we thought
was the best ones were of a hood crime genre. The ones that stood out
most to us were: Ill Manors, Harry Brown and Adulthood. We decided that
we liked many conventions from the hood crime genre, after looking
through different film trailers. We thought it would be the best genre to
base our film on because it has many conventions we thought would be
exciting to exercise in our trailers. Overall hood crime is something that
many people can relate to because gang activity is always in the news and
it makes people aware of what is happening in society today that we all
live in.
Genre
The first section of research me and my partner carried out was looking
up the definitions of the hood crime film genre. This is what we found…
Hood film is a film genre originating in the United States which features aspects of
urban African-American culture such as hip hop music, street gangs, racial
discrimination, poverty, and the problems of young black men coming of age or
struggling in a predominantly white society. Such films predominantly feature African-
American actors.
Crime films are films that focus on the lives of criminals. The stylistic approach to a
crime film varies from realistic portrayals of real-life criminal figures, to the far-fetched
evil doings of imaginary arch-villains. Criminal acts are almost always glorified in these
movies
Sub-Genres

•Realistic
•Stereotypical
Hood Crime Genre
Hood crime rely on the circumstances they are put through and the struggles and
hurdles of life that they have to overcome in order to survive in life. The hood crime
genre typically is filmed on estates and places where there is gang activity and
generally lots of crime taking place. The points of some of these films is to aware
people of what is happening in society nowadays and to in a way warn them of things
their children may be doing or what the person is getting themselves into.
Themes:
Many hood crime films have emerged in recent years, all in various media, not only
film. despite these very different forms of representation, general trends have
appeared throughout the narratives. Some of the themes consist of:
• Reality
• Perception
• Death
• Gang violence
• Drug taking
• Law breaking
• Identity
• Survival
• Existence and purpose.
Generic Conventions of Hood Crime
• Hood and crime films are based around and focus on the illegal actions
of criminals, gangsters, thieves and other figures of the underworld
society.
• They are mainly realistic and factual portrays of real life criminals and
incidents that have happened in previous years.
• Key characters types within this genre of film are the main criminal, their
accomplices, an opposing law enforcement agency which is normally the
police and rival criminals and gangs.
• Stereotypically negative characterisations, the protagonist is often and
anti here, corrupt law enforcement, morally ambiguous qualities for the
main characters.
• Settings are often within large crowded cities, and in the less glamorous,
poorer areas of the city when the underworld society can be portrayed,
for example, nightclubs, pubs, dark alleyways etc.
• Non diagetic often accompanies scenes without dialogue
• Characters are often from a minority background
• Success is seen through materialism, such as expense clothes and cars,
and the increase of a characters power.
