Practicality: Pro's and Con's of 'Gangster'

Pros



  • Costumes are relatively simple and recognisable: suits, jackets, etc. Easy to obtain.

  • Locations are very easy as well -- offices, streets, alleys, etc. All relatively accessible, and London, an ideal location, is well within practical travelling distance.

  • Few props are needed other than guns as the storyline would be, for the most part, based on a naturalistic urban environment.

  • Characters are either young adult or middle ages, so it is not difficult to find a cast. We will likely be using friends and parents.

Cons



  • Weapons are an essential component in the gangster genre. Replicas might not be so difficult to obtain, but possessing them in a public place, or at least having them in plain sight, is against the law and potentially dangerous for the carrier.

  • Sports cars and boats, which are potentially useful symbols of power in the genre are difficult to obtain, but luckily we potentially have access to these at our disposal if we were to choose to use them.
