1. The lack of a female presence within our opening suggests women aren't
involved in criminal acts and violence along with all the other things entailed
in being a gangster. Therefore they have been presented in a traditional way
as they are suggested to be well behaved and uninvolved in criminal activity.
How our film represents social groups
Gender
There is a close up used of the antagonist. This shows the
character’s emotion at a point where he is very frustrated and angry.
We used this to make the character’s role clear to the viewer. This
emphasizes a traditional representation of men as violent and angry.
CAMERA
The low angled shot of the two male characters are this way
to make them look large before a scene of action to show
that they are ready and in control. This is a traditional
representation of men as they are powerful.

2. The costume the main character is wearing at the
beginning of the film shows him without a top. This is a
modern representation of men as traditionally the women
are shown as sex symbols.
The film opens with establishing shots of props such as
alcohol and drugs. Our main character also drinks some of
the alcohol . Showing a traditional representation of men as
he is shown have the freedom to do reckless acts. The prop
of money and this emphasizes the traditional representation
of the male character as he is shown to be self-reliant.
MISE EN SCENE
The coat in the opening is focused on through dialect
and shows that both male characters are vulnerable.
This is also a modern representation of men as they are
seen to be weak.

3. The script in the opening has a lot of imperatives from the
male characters, “get out here now” and “give me your
coat”. Humour is prominent in the dialogue between the
two main characters. Almost a sense of ‘banter’ between
the protagonists as they make offensive but funny
comments to the audience at the expense of the other is
traditional of men as they are known for wanting to be the
dominant male. This implicates a traditional
representation of men as they are determined to get their
own way.
SOUND
Non-diegetic music is playing throughout we chose a
conventional song for our genre for this reason but also
because of the fast pace and high bass levels to create a fast
paced feel which gives the audience the feel that the
characters are slightly rebellious. This is emphasized as the
character is shown to have the song as a ring tone as the song
is changed from non-diegetic to diegetic to show that this is the
music that the character personally likes. This shows a
traditional representation of men as the characters are shown
as rebellious.

4. The character titles are centred around props. Including a
knife and a gun. These both show the traditional
representation of men as the weapons give the male
characters power .
The fast paced matched action cuts throughout the
scene, during a scene in which the characters are in
chase who are getting away. Show a traditional
representation of a male character as they are not
afraid of action and the edit emphasizes the fact that
they are fast moving, strong characters.
