Sound…Non-Diegetic Diegetic Voice-over

• This can be a description of the

main characters (Long stock)

• Someones thoughts-allowing the audience to understand what they are feeling.

• You can use a voice-over of an unknown

character, then later bring them into the film- a very clever

technique. • Martin Scorsesse used

his own voice in many of his films, but never revealed his

face.

• Diegetic sound is in the characters

world. We assume they can hear the noise by

their reactions. • Examples in

gangster films are- Explosions,

background noise, cars,

clocks, singing, footsteps.

• Sound Bridge is used to link two

scenes.

• Non-diegetic sound is

outside the character

world, and they cannot hear it.

• Music is usually used to

build the atmosphere and tense emotions

of the audience.

• It may begin non-diegetic and turn into

diegetic.

Most Profitable…Long, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,

directed by Guy Ritchie, was an extremely profitable film with a budget of £960,000 and gross intake of $3,650,677. However, it is not Ritchie’s most profitable film.

He continued on a high after this positive beginning and continued to

direct British Gangster films such as Snatch. Snatch had a £6,000,000 budget and grossed $30,093,107- making it his

most profitable film.

Most Influential…Rocknrolla 2008 is one of the most influential Crime Thriller films

because it stood out from the other Gangster films during that time. It combines humour with crime and plays with the serious stereotype Gangster image. Famous Actors were used to

entice the audience; Gerard Butler, Gemma Arterton, Thandie Newton and

Jeremy Piven.

Most successful…Snatch 2000 is a comical Crime film written and directed by

Guy Ritchie. Well-known actors such as Brad Pitt, Vinnie Jones and Jason Stratham star in this successful film. It was rated a

high 8.3, and a gross box office of £30.1million.

In this presentation I have researched deeply into my sub genre: British Gangster. I have previously looked in to the history

and most common films of the Gangster genre. However, now I have focused on the specific sub-genre- I can allow my film opening to

fit in with this category. I will later need to show how I have adopted conventions or deliberately challenged them and will need to compare this research to my final piece. I have found out that Guy Ritchie is one of the most famous British Gangster directors and has produced extremely successful films staring well-known actors, and have been

inspired by him.
