Linked Production (3 Diffrent Research Texts)

Crips & Bloods: Made In America:

Directed by documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta and Executive Produced by NBA basketball player Baron Davis, ‘CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA’ is a documented film produced and released during 2009. It tells the story of the two most notorious street gangs in America; the Crips and the Bloods. The primary location that the documentary focuses on is based in South Los Angeles, where the two gangs had first began during the 1970 and yet their reign still remains until this day.
Combining unprecedented access into the worlds of active gangs, CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA offers a compelling, character-driven documentary narrative which chronicles the decades-long cycle of destruction and despair that defines modern gang culture.

Channel 4's Booze: A Young Persons Guide:
This documentary focuses on the highs and lows of drinking from a teenagers perspective. It explores the range of drinking habits of young people by following six different stories on a regular Saturday night. Clearly the link to my practical production is that the type of programme is a documentary as well as it illustration teenage deviants. This would be a sensible documentary to analyse seeing as it is similar to my production to some extent but however focuses on alcohol whereas my production centers on influencing gangsters.

Ross Kemp On Gangs:

Ross travels the globe, gaining an incredible insight into the compelling and sordid activities of the world's most dangerous gangs. The result is a nail biting exploration of what makes the world's most violent gangs tick, and what is being done to control them.
Primarily the documentary appears to target a young D/F social scale adult audience aged 16-27. As settings of deprived areas and gang members is what the programme exposes, this would perhaps familiarize a lower social class audience seeing as an A/B audience for instance may not be aware of the reason why gang member life dangerous lifestyles (un-wealthy). As the documentary demonstrates explicit material when representing the gang members (such as the use of guns, relation towards drugs, strong offensive language etc.), the documentary unmistakably targets adult viewers seeing that each of the texts may not be suitable towards children/ages below 18 since individuals may become influenced from the text. Ironically, just like the interviewees my production focuses on (teenage delinquents that have been hypodermically effected by Gangster films and Rap music).
