Codes & Conventions

Drugs

Ways they are smuggled:

  "Banks banks on his Johnson; gets busted"

Antoine Banks was so desperate to smuggle drugs across the boarder that he decided to store them in his fore skin. 


"Don't eat the brown lollipops - They're Heroin"

Instead of chocolate at the centre of these treats, DEA agents found mid-grade heroin when they cracked the candy shells. Among the thirty-one pops some were three quarters of an inch in diameter and some were a full inch. A total of 520.1 grams of heroin was found within the pops and was certified to be roughly sixty-four percent pure heroin. 


  "Lemmie have my coke or i'm gonna wrap it full of lead"

It was assumed that the packages were wrapped in lead to avoid detection by the x-ray machines.

DEA was quick to supply a much better idea for next time stating that “the reasoning behind this concealment technique was unclear” as the bricks were not actually encased or sealed in lead, just wrapped up in sheets of it.

Setting 
We are setting our film opening at various locations. The first being at Antonio and ales house to give the impression of a crack den. The second being the toilets at school, this will be for the scene where Antonio is stressing out and tries to relax himself. Our finally setting for the film is at chelmsford train station as it is the closest representation we can get to an airport. 

Themes
The themes of our film are drugs, forgiveness, crime and justice. The films aim is to give across to young people or anyone that has had or is in a hardship that there is always a way you can turn it around.
