Inspiration

This shot from the Grand Theft Auto V trailer was the inspiration to the shot where we say Matt's character 'Matt Don.' This shot doesn't reveal much about the character creating sense of mystery about the character, as we want to draw the audience in. The audience will want to watch on because they want to know more about Matt Don.

Editing

• Tidying up our rough copy of our film. 

Setting

Some of the areas we have chosen are typical of crime films. The areas are hard-hitting and gritty, and this is what we tried to incorporate. Yet we went against some of the codes and conventions of a crime film, by having some of the film set in a middle-class residential area; of which doesn't particularly associate itself with a group of criminals.

Costume

We decided to go for suits as our costumes for our protagonists to convey their authority and power. This is a common feature of crime films, and we felt it essential to have suits in our film.

Props

Here are a list of our props:

Phone: So the characters can interact with each other, used in the conversation between Matt and Jono.

Hand-held bag: Enables Sam to carry the goods back to Jono. Normally in crime films a hand-held bag is used to, for example, carry stolen money. So we did this in our film.

Car: We gave Jono a car to make him look authoritative and powerful, as he is the boss.

Newspaper: We chose for Jono to want a newspaper. This creates a juxtaposition as our hard-hitting criminal, wants to be participating in a sophisticated past time.

 

Target audience

• Our primary target audience is 18-24 and our secondary audience is 25-40. We feel it will be more appealing to people aged from 18 up to 24. 
• We believe that our primary audience is 18-24 because the type of film it is matches the genre popular with this specific age group. They will form the bulk of our audience. 
• Yet we also feel that the film's secondary audience will be the 25-40 as it will not directly appeal to their tastes in genre, but a minority of this age group will find our film appealing. 
• We also believe that the male 18-24 population will find our film heavily appealing as the genre is aimed at their tastes in genre, and this is a good market to aim for.  

Inspiration for characters - 'Sam G'

'Sam G'

The inspiration for 'Sam G's' character is James 'Jimmy' Conway from GoodFellas. He is willing to take a risk, isn't worried to get stuck in, without thinking it through first. He is willing to do things for the team, yet has a sense of greed. He does not want to be outdone, and wants to do a job well. He doesn't take lightly to criticism, yet makes a good associate.
