Applying Stereotypes to our Trailor

In our trailer hopefully our stereotypes will not be false as they will show all the characteristics that modern day English Gangsters have in other British Gangster films, for example in the Snatch and Lock Stock and two smoking barrels the characters are wearing suits and dress smart. We will incorporate this into our trailer so the audience will know that they are British gangsters through the way they dress.

Also our stereotypes can cast a positive look on British Gangsters, this can be shown, by maybe having them in shot in a fight or running round with a good away from the police and in the next shot helping an old lady with her bag if she drops it, showing that although their gangsters they only hurt people that have done something against them or their family. By having this sequence in our trailer it also may break the typical stereotypes surrounding British gangsters.

Our characters also may be both simple and complex, by having the main character at the start of the trailer beating someone up, showing the audience that these just a common thug, but the towards the end of the trailer we learn that he hates his thuggish ways and wants to leaving the British gangster scene, but cant through family pressures, this can be shown through him going to Church and confessing his sins to god,showing he wants to repent for his sins, but then he gets a call form someone in his gang and he has to leave and go "do a job".
