Characters

For our new production we decided to use Genesis Masih as the main protaganist's girlfriend.
Her character name will be "Geni"

Aestetically she fits and connects with Billon which is important because their on stage relationship needs to be true. Genesis is confident and well spoken, and will go ahead with what is on our story board. She is reliable and doesnt live far so is always on call when needed.




The main protaganist Billon Jethwa was chosen because he fits the character phyiscally and will attract a girl based audience.

His character name is "Billon"

As stated before his personality and looks fit in with the traits of the character and also means that no acting will have to be done to a certain extent.

We are also using Sanjay Soneji in our trailer.

Locations

1) Bedroom - Manpreet's house, brother's room
2) London skyline
3) Car - Any quiet road
3) Party scene - Rave
4) Roads && Alleys

Planning

Ideas and thoughts concluded ..

Genre Research

Crime and Gangster Films are developed around the sinister actions of criminals or gangsters, particularly bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and murdering their way through life.

Criminal and gangster films are often categorized as film noir or mystery films, or they are related to detective films - because of underlying similarities between these cinematic forms.

However instead of going down the conventional route of the typical gangster movie in stuies and top hate me and manpreet have decided to go with the times and portray the gangsters of 2010.


Gangster films are morality tales, in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth.

Although they are doomed to failure and inevitable death, criminals are portrayed as the victims of circumstance, because the stories are told from their point of view - all other "normal" avenues to the top are unavailable to them.


Film gangsters are usually materialistic, street-smart, immoral, meglo-maniacal, and self-destructive.They rise to power with a tough cruel facade while showing an ambitious desire for success and recognition, but underneath they can express sensitivity and gentleness.

Gangster/crime films are usually set in large, crowded cities in the secret world of the criminal: dark nightclubs or streets with lurid neon signs, fast cars, sleazy bars, seedy living quarters or rooming houses.

The description above is evidently correct as we're able to see in many classic gangstaer movies however what will enable us to stay with the conventions we want of 2010 will be mean typical locations instead of the bar the youths would beo utside drinking and instead of the big lit up city we have the back ally's of london.
