snatch anaylsis




Snatch;
Is the genre established? What is it?
Yes the genre is established within the first two minutes, it is a gangster and we think it is a British realism based film too but actual of fact the film is an American funded film.
How is the genre established? What conventions?
Straight about we guess the film is going to have some sort of action involved from the up beat background music. We are then shown several different clips of different characters through-out the clip. Through the different clips we see props from like diamonds to guns to money to some characters undress themselves from the outfits they have been wearing to covering themselves up with- this gives the idea they have been involved with something that they don't want there identity involved. Seeing this this gives the audience the feel that there is some dodgy deals going on within different social groups/gangs. The props being used in this film are the main conventions for this film and the way they have been shown.
What else does the audience find out within the first two minutes?
Usually within the first two minutes of a film we as the audience find out who the main character is and what type of role they shall been playing. From the first two minutes we find out there is a lot of character who shall be involved in some sort of dealing. Which also makes assume that they aren't all working together and helping one another out. We assumes some sort of death shall be involved or gun scene as they use the prop of a gun a fair amount. Also there is an automatic vibe that the majority of the action that shall be taking place on this film shall be illegal.
How do we find this out?
We assume that it is some sort of stolen goods that is being passed from person to person from the title 'snatch', also the way the opening has been edited it seems that some goods are being passed through people or they are being snatch from one another. Usually when a gun is involved within in the opening it is being used as a statement that its shall have some role as being used as a weapon later on in the film. The location of the films are also very isolated places where they are hiding from other people of keeping their business which helps the audience guess the genre. If you have watched this film or already known a bit about the film you might know it is a  'Guy Richie film' and we base other films he has been involved in it helps give the audience that the film is going to be a gangster genre like his previous film 'Snatch'.
