Mindmap

This is a mind map of the intiatial ideas that we had for the trailer it includes what conventions we will use as part of the social realism gerne with a gangsta hybrid. These include things such as peer pressure, violence, prosmiscuity, drugs, gang culture, crime and weapons. The reason we use the conventions of the genre in our trailer is so we can appeal to our target audience. They will recognise the conventions and therefore will like it and it will appeal them as social realism films with a gangsta hybrid was the gerne of films that they have really enjoyed in the past.
We have also included the setting. It will be set in a council estate in Birmingham. This shows how deprived the area is that the character lives in. this shows how difficult life can be for teenagers that come from a deprived background and the sorts of issues that can take place within their life. The lighting will be high key to make it look natural and realistic. This is good as our gerne is social realism and is trying to portray real life situations. The dialogue will be the restricted code as this is the main language code that working class individuals use. There will also be alot of swearing and abusive language as this will show the characters frustration at their life situations and the lack of life chances they have. The sound used will be things such as dialogue and non digetic music as the music will be a big indicator of what the film is about as it is rap music talking about street life. The make up that will be used will be quite heavy as these are teenage girls who like to hide themselves away and look their best. They where casual clothing as it needs to be real to life and gold jewellery, this is to reflect what teenagers are wearing in society today.
