Evaluation Task 2

They both fit into the youth (but come across as a young offender style group) for both as both protagonist and antagonist represent the hooligan look, the sorts of kids that grow up with failed parents or have suffered from loss at a young age that influences there actions towards society and the people of a higher status than them. The Criminal on the left show more of the criminal look trying not to be identified by wearing a  masked and is obviously out to cause trouble. Whereas Sam (from kid/adult hood) goes more for the respect in the young criminal offender look showing his face to make sure people know who he is and what he is capable of (trying to earn respect).

Running Criminal- When we brain stormed our ideas of a film we had a youth themed idea to make easy to distribute our casting of who we would play. So we had a hooligan themed idea where two youths (teenagers) would committee a crime in a local area (roughly a run down looking area) in order to get noticed and respected in gangs but it back fires in the process as a local off duty policeman spots them while the crime is in progress, The running criminal is ultimately the main criminal who diverted the police officer away from his friend in order for him to escape show no remorse in the way he is and will not stop in the name of the law for he believes what he did was not wrong but thinks society is unfair and is just trying to make a living to survive on a daily basis in the underworld (criminal world).

Sam form kid/adulthood as a criminal character his actions are out of not pure as he is shown as a more dark characteristic in the film for he is trying to earn his respect too but does this in a way through gang's supply and demand. We used his characterisation as a template to get audience's instantly to be thinking as to what makes the mind like that tick? what influenced him to do what he does? and is he another one of society's monsters or is he striving for greatness but in the process has to do dirty work first to get where he wants to go? The group Sam hangs round with changes through out various scene's some are more relaxed and settle due to post events where as some have gotten too deep in the criminal under world that they themselves are apart of that world and Sam is always torn between doing the right thing (Family influenced) and the wrong thing (Friends influenced)
