THE SETTINGS

b

There are many different possible settings for a gangster/ conflict style film, these are...

• School: this would be an ideal setting, as it shows the places of education and shows where the young "hoodlums" would spend most of there time when they are growing up. it also shows if they was good academically. Sometimes a school would sow the route of the main characters problems, but sometimes not.
• The home: This should show the main characters family, and would show the type of relationships that they have with them, weather they are good, or bad. This would be a place which would show how they where brought up, for example weather they had manners, or if they were rude.
• The places they hang out: Here we would be shown the type of people they hang out with, where they are influenced, and shown there choices that they have made in life, here it would be put across to us weather deep down they are actually good people, or if they are bad people, hence they had made bad choices in life.
• Places of interest (hobbies): Most people have hobbies, we would be shown what extra curricular activities they would take part in, and would also give us a look into the characters lives, showing personality. In some films i've seen i know that people have had such a bad time with a lot of different things, some people (in reall life as well) tent to emerse themselves into hobbies to get away from the real world.
