MAIN Post 4b - Narrative / Character Research

Following our groups decision to do a film based on a secret agent and a mafia hit group as the main characters for our film i have looked at the film Gangster Squad. My reasoning for this is that th main plot of the film is FBU type agents are against a gang of mafia hit men. As this closely resembles my film i feel i could take good information from it. As the number of people in my group are small we will be rotating roles so that we each get a spot in the light.

Gangster Squad
From looking at Gangster Sqaud i have come to the conclusion that the hardcore Mafia mobsters all had the politicians and police under the thumb. This resulted in gangs initimidating people they want and them not getting in trouble for it. This means that me and my group have to give the impression to the audience that we are intimidatign and dont take no for a anwser. Also within the film is a group of federal agents who have the guts and determination to ridden the streets if these vermin mobsters. This is where again my groups film can be related as we have a good cop who comes in and saves the woman. These mobsters are sexualy frustrated and treat women with respect they would show to a piece of earth. We have to incorporate this image within our film so that it is truthful to what reality was actually like. They also are money laundeering scoundrels who take power for granted. If we can include this impression within the mobsters in our film then we have achieved the mobsters look. For the federal agents they have a smart suit style who drive round trying to the the hero of the day, with big guns and busting down doors, this is how the federal/secret agents in my film should act.
