Top Boy
Power
The series follows James St. Patrick,
nicknamed "Ghost," owner of a popular New York City nightclub . In addition, he is a major player in one of the city's
biggest illegal drug networks. He struggles to balance these two lives, and the
balance topples when he realizes he wants to leave the drug ring in order to
support his legitimate business. This again was very successful which is why it
is now in the process of creating a third season. Our film has many parallels;
most noticeably the idea and transformation from a life of crime to a
legitimate successful life.
Ill Manors
Ill Manors is a British crime drama film. The
film revolves around the lives of eight main characters, and features six
original songs by Plan B, which act as a narration for the film. Ill Manors is a multi-character story where
everyone is fighting for respect. The
film focuses on eight core characters and
their circles of violence, as they struggle to survive on the streets. Again a
British drama, this interrelates with our idea of the ‘streets’ and the need
for respect to survive. The film generated £453,570 in Box Office sales which shows the success of the film.
Kidulthood
Kidulthood is a British drama film about the life of several teenagers in an area of inner west London. The
majority of the characters in the film generally behave in a violent manner. They are portrayed as being reckless young
people who commit crimes such as petty theft and serious violence. This was a great success which even resulted in a sequel 'Adulthood'. Another British drama, this was the catalyst for many other gritty dramas especially based in London. It generated £1,203,319 in Box Office revenues.

BBC are renowned
for their well-choreographed documentaries. This is the view regarding
both the style and also the content within the documentary. What I noticed from
this introduction is the utilisation of the narrator to create an effect of an
'all-knowing' power which automatically makes the viewers focus on what the
voice is saying as they cannot see where or whom it is coming from. They also
utilise the techniques of voice-over. This helps to create a faster pace about
the intro to make it seem like time is in fact moving faster, forcing the
viewer to take notice and to engage with what they're watching.
Top Boy
Top Boy is a British
television crime drama series that was first broadcast on Channel 4. It is
set on an estate in Hackney, East London, the series
follows the lives of a group of people involved in drug dealing and street
gangs. The series aims to provide an insight into life in London estates, and
how drugs affect everyone living there. This was a very successful production
and was especially popular among teenagers – our main targeted audience.
