Analysis of British Gangster
The use of lighting is very dark and dingy
influenced by low lighting. Due to this it
creates suspense and adds to the identity of
the stereotypical characteristics of a
gangsters lively hood. With the added
influence of being set in dark alley ways alsoadds to the cold and creepy conventions
used in British Gangster. this effect has
influenced me as it helps me think about
how muck Mise en scene creates a deeper
meaning to gangster film.
Props that are commonly seen with some
type of jewel or an expensive object, this
influences the idea of thieving and also
greed from the gangsters, of them
enjoying the idea of being powerful and
wealthy.

Analysis of MOB
Props used in MOB gangster films illustrate the violence andhighly tempered emotions within the gangster genre. The
common use of guns and drugs and money and gambling all
add up to create a stereotypical version of a gangster towards
the audience, it adds to their common characteristics of bad
boys and criminals within the public eye.
This scene shows a man asking for forgiveness
from his boss. Due to kissing his leaders hand
suggests the leaders power and control over his
gang members. This suggests that MOB
gangster films like to initiate to the audience the
power of the characters identities for instanceemphasising who has the higher position.
The scenes also concentrate on
violence to highlight their
stereotype. This influences the
idea of how gangsters think and
react to certain behaviour.
The costume used
in MOB is very
casual yet smart
to show the use of
money and hard
personality.
Settings in low levelled
lighting to create tension
and violence (i.e. Bars)
Silhouetted effect to
create suspense and
mystery. (enigma)

Analysis of Crime/Thriller
Costume of long coatscomplimented with a suit
and tie, instead of this
influencing wealth it
highlights their
professionalism and
business appearance.
Lighting is very dark and
dingy to create suspenseand also to add a creepy
sense to add to the thriller
aspect subgenre.
Including gory images
such as death/ murders
and bags of drugs all
influences the idea of a
stereotypical role of a
gangster as a criminal.
Gangsters idea of a cop is in a casual suit and
tend to commonly smoke; this tends to
influence the idea of a hard cop who smokes toinitiate them thinking about the crime.
