Kacper Mark: 2 Grade: E Comments on Statement of Intent: ·          You’ve obviously changed your idea which will have a knock-on effect but this is still a long way from where it needs to be. ·          The gang/urban drama concept can work – but remember the coming-of-age genre usually focuses around one character that the audience can identify with. I think your opening needs looking at to make this clear. ·          Written English is a concern – the very first sentence of the statement contains three errors. Spelling, punctuation, grammar all need to be perfect. ·          You may want to make the beginning easier to follow – title, tagline, genre etc. Do you have a title? A working title can work for now (O13?) ·          It is still too vague in places – it ...

Costume Costumes will include thing such as tracksuits, hoodies, jeans (baggy), black masks and gloves. Masks will be used to create enigma codes of action, crime and mystery. Baggy jeans will be used to emphasise the urban environment my characters are from. Lighting I will use whatever lighting is outside to create a more authentic feeling, and cosidering It will be shot in London it will most likely look very gloomy. anything inside will have natural lighting to create and continue that realistic feeling. If needed I will use phones flashlights to make it brighter. Actors My characters will be played by people who can easily portray the character they need to, and I will show each gang as always being together to symbolise them as being united and supportive of each other. Make-up I will use make-up to show wounds after a fighting or shooting scene.  Props I will be using a motorbike, several guns to create action codes for the audience that they can identify and r...

Statement of intent My movie will be about two rival gangs, in West London who's on going feud is re-fuelled. The war will be fuelled by trying to take over turf. The movie will mainly focus on the highest ranking members from O13 and low ranking members from the mafia who will be portrayed as street thugs. The rivalling gangs are O13 and an unnamed mafia. My movie will reinforce stereotypes of Black people joining gangs from a young age, and Eastern European mafias. I will give stereotypical clothing to both sides. O13 will be wearing baggy jeans, big puffer jackets, hoodies etc, and the Thugs will be wearing Adidas tracksuits. I will include scenes that suggest drug abuse, drug dealing and use of weapons but I will try my best to not explicitly show any of these things.  I will stick to the brief to make sure I meet every requirement especially in terms of creating enigma with the use of lig hting and costumes. I hope to create meaning through the way my characters are d...
