An idea I have for a gangster film that is based on one of the openings we watched is a rival between to gangs in the 1960's based in America. The rivalry is taking place between two foreign gangs the Italians and the Soviet Russians. The film will involve a lot of offensive language to show the classic gang culture, both gangs will also have american/Italian or Russian accents this is to show the gangs background. The city the two gangs occupy will be mainly industrial and both gangs will be importing workers from their own home countries. Half way through the film the gangs will unite and try to fight of the police who are trying to drive both gangs out of the city. Finally the gangs declare a truce and become one bog gang after the two "king pins" are eliminated by the police.
Five things I need to do to keep this genre similar to classic gangster films are;
- I will keep the typical offensive slang language to represent the violence of gang culture.
- There will be violence in the film which shows the difference in class between the gangs and citizens of the city.
- I intend to keep the element of fear within the film to show why gangs are able to get to where they are.
- I want to keep the title screens the same to keep to the classic genre e.g. the white writing on the black background.
- The last element I will include that keeps to the classic genre are the tragic stories of the people in the gangs for example it is always shown that people in gangs had a bad life so thats why they ended up where they are.
The one thing I will change that would make this concept different from other films is the unification of gangs to prevent the destruction of both of them.
