2. SNATCH Snatch is one of the most successful British Gangster
films, making a 25 million dollar profit. It has been very
influential towards other British gangster films and will be
towards my British gangster opening. The conventions of the opening
that will be influential to me will be the colorful, cartoon like
credits with freeze frames, low level lighting, voiceovers,
two-shots and props including guns and objects showing wealth with
costumes including long coats and shirts.
3. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels This film was one of
the first for Guy Ritchie before Snatch or RocknRolla and was
slightly less successful making around 3 million dollars in profit.
It was very influential to his future of directing and the rest of
the British gangster genre. The opening is conventional with
non-diegetic rock music, slow motion and voiceovers. Two shots with
costumes including long coats and shirts.
4. Layer Cake Layer cake was not one of the most successful,
making a profit of around 2 million pounds, similarly to LSTSB. It
is very influential to the genre and shares conventions in its
opening with other films such as slow motion, a voiceover, gun
props, rock music and costumes including long jackets and smart
clothes.
5. Sexy Beast Sexy Beast was a successful film from the genre
making 10 million dollars. It was very different and challenged
conventions making it very influential and changing the way we look
at the genre. However, the conventions they did use include
non-diegetic rock music, a voiceover and freeze frames for the
credits.
6. RocknRolla RocknRolla was the second very successful film
from Guy Ritchie profiting 25 million dollars. Its opening is very
conventional with non-diegetic rock music, a voice over, cartoon
like credits and low level lighting. It will be very influencial
towards my project.
7. RocknRolla RocknRolla was the second very successful film
from Guy Ritchie profiting 25 million dollars. Its opening is very
conventional with non-diegetic rock music, a voice over, cartoon
like credits and low level lighting. It will be very influencial
towards my project.
