Yet again, more evaluations to do, This time its on how our opening sequence represents the gangster social groups.
Well, the stance used by many gangsters is a very defensive stance showing their authority in the area and normally to show that its their territory you are in, and that you shouldn't do anything to offend their authority.
Another point to make is the clothing, Many gangsters are seen in comfortable clothing such as hoodies, jogging bottoms also known as 'Trackies' these are common gangster clothes simply because they are comfortable, also lets face it, no offence made to any gangsters out there but they are also a whole lot easier to run in compared to jeans.
Another typical convention of a gang is weaponry, such as in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels there are many scenes in which the main gangster characters are seen with some sort of weaponry such as a handgun, shotguns or maybe even a weapon as simple as a knife, In our film we used a fake BB gun, just to be safe from having troubles with the police we informed them we will be using a fake firearm during filming, we planed initially to have a retractable knife but thought 'is there any way to make a knife look fake' just in case the police did turn up, answer to that, No.
The location of our film also represents the gangster group, due to it being a fairly quiet area with many backstreets and routes to escape just in case there is a unexpected arrival of police, which funnily enough occurs during our film.
Well i guess that's enough of me now, have fun!
