SWOT analysis of Treatment
Strengths
We found that strengths of our treatment were that it was a fairly original idea, we had quite good research, we had an achievable idea and also we knew the conventions. We thought that these were strengths of our treatments because if we did not know the conventions and research other films to gain knowledge we would not know how to portray our ideas in the correct way, also by having an achievable idea it meant that we will not be over our heads and be able to produce this.
Weaknesses
we found that a weakness was our location as we originally planned to set it in America but obviously we could not do this, so we decided to alter this and change it to set it in England.
Opportunities
we found that we had a really good chance to challenge the conventions of the genre and that because we had a new idea we could develop it further.
Threats
WE thought that a threat was that we may not be able to create a film sequence that looked professional enough to represent the genre, and that it may have the risk of going over the top and destroying the effect we were trying to create for English Gangster Movies.

Coursework Treatment Assessment
What Worked Well?
in our treatment when we analysed it we found that the aspects of the conventions we were challenging work well, as we were using a female gang trying to take control over the male gangs, it created a whole new side to the genre of film. Also we found the settings we chose to shoot in were a good choice as they were local and easy to access. we also fond that following some conventions was a good idea as we were using, the black background with white text, a successful recognisable aspect of gangster movies of which many have used before.
How To Improve
to improve our treatment we need to select the correct type of actors to create the atmosphere we need to create and also inside our group we need to delegate jobs to utilise the skills of our members, e.g. Editors, camera people and Directors.
What will I do next?
For the next step in our project I feel that I need to research more English gangster opening sequences that have more of a relevance to the type that we will produce, after this step i think that we need to draw up a story board and start filming.
