Snatch

Snatch released in 2000 is a British film by writer/director Guy Ritchie. The target audience is 18-30 year old males, of a working/middle class background. This is due to the colloquial language used; many events such as robbing the bookies are commonly known measures by this age and social class group. Additionally many of the characters are from within this section. This would indefinitely be shown on Channel 4 as they predominately show British Gangster/Crime films after 9pm.

The camera work shown in this clip is very unorthodox however it suits the style of this film as many of the characters; their names and what they do are also unorthodox. Typical conventions come from the use of cockney names, slang and also clothing. For example, long coats and shotguns would be associated with London, rather than France or America. The location of London is also very conventional as many other British films are featured here.

Where each character has their own short scene we could attempt to feature a similar sequence to describe what they do, and how the fit into the ‘Rose Mob’. Also, we would use a freeze frame on the characters face similar to Snatch’s’ however, we wouldn’t use colour, rather black-and-white would seem more appropriate.
