How he represents crime in his successful films

• Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
• Snatch
• Rock n Rolla

His return to form in Rock n Rolla

How audiences like his film for the crime aspects, he tried to break away from this genre but failed to satisfy audiences with the flops 'Swept Away' and 'Revolver'

Crime in the media:
Gangster movies

• The Godfather(s)
• The Departed
• Resevoir Dogs
• Eastern Promises
• Goodfellas
• Lock Stock and two smoking barrells
• (Possibly the TV series The Sopranos)

Possible subject areas I could focus on:
How they glamourise crime lifestyles, the riches and splendour of living in the criminal underworld

Audience expectations of the genre since the Godfather

Advertising:

Cigarette advertising, the change from cigarette promotional advertising to health risk warning advertisiments.
