'Dirty Diamonds' Research into Influential films.

Influences and Why?
Introducing our new idea, We have come up with a film idea of a 'Rough Edged British Gangster Film' that is 'Dirty Diamonds'. 'Dirty Diamonds' has its main influences from British films, such as: 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,' 'Snatch' and 'Blood Diamond.'

The first film influence which we have looked at is the most famous British gangster film, 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', this 'Guy Ritchie' film helped us realize the mise-en-scene and the characteristics of each character allowing us to mimic the accent and the body language of each character. One character in particular that that does convey all the nesserscary characteristics is 'Vinnie Joneses' Character-'Big Chris'. His characteristics conveyed in film shows that he has a rough cut feel about him as he shows it through his body language and accent.

For the second influential film we decided on the film that yet again Guy Ritchie made, which is 'Snatch.' 'Snatch' allowed us to realize the environment that we need to set in terms of location. As Locations stand, as a group we decided to set it in varies places in London to truly give it that British edge.

The third influential film that really sets the film in the stone, is the film 'Blood Diamond'. Now 'Blood Diamond' for us is where we generally got the name from, for our film and also the concept of relating it around Diamonds, "Blood Diamonds."

Another Influential Films that we have considered is 'Layer Cake,' as we all know 'Layer Cake' has an iconic of rich british gangster theme where Daniel Craig plays the well-off rough playboy. In relation to our film we have considered the same the theme as Lee Arnold will portray the Play boy.

How MISE-EN-SCENE Influences Our Film.
In our movie, mise-en-scene from our new influential films allows us to helps visualize what we can make of props and location. With props there are such things like: Costumes-These are influenced through the smart jacket-shirt combo, which sets an example of rich gangster's. This is very much 'the most common' in each of our influential films. Other props include the use of 'Diamonds'-the diamonds were ordered on 'Ebay' for around £4, another prop that we previously used in our 'Million Dollar Punch' was a smart jacket but was eventually cut out of the film for improvement purposes. We initially want to use this Smart Jacket in our 'Dirty Diamonds' film.
