Target Audience

Age: Teenagers mostly from ages of 16-20

Gender: Any gender

The age range for our film would be from about 16 to 20 because the theme is gang violence and teenage issues so the younger and older generation might not have an interest of this kind of film. The reason for the teenage age range is because it goes through thing that a normal teenager goes through and shows things that happen in the younger generation today.

Basic Plot

The film opens with the gang initiation, involving the taking of drugs and holding a pistol, of a boy on a council estate in South London, in another scene right after apparently filmed on a mobile phone, three gang members harass and shoot dead a mother walking her child while joyriding around the estate on a motorcycle. While fleeing the murder scene, they speed across a road in front of an oncoming truck and are also killed. The titular Harry Brown (Caine), an elderly former Royal Marine and Northern Ireland veteran and Royal Marines Commando, suffering from emphysema, wakes to news of these deaths over the radio. With his wife sick in hospital, in order to visit her Harry must cut through a public underpass which is a gathering spot at all hours by local thugs and gang members.

Saul Bass

Saul Bass' body of work distinguishes him as one of the most versatile and innovative graphic designers of the 20th Century. Alongside his talent for creating definitive visual references in the form of film poster campaigns and title sequences stands his later work as an Academy Award Winning director for his short film 'Why Man Creates' (1969). In the course of his career, Bass worked with Otto Preminger and Alfred Hitchcock, and his legacy is evident in the work of numerous contemporary designers and directors. But it is his posters that are currently causing the biggest stir.

In the past 15 years of working as an original vintage film poster dealer and gallery owner, I have handled some of the rarest posters in the world. Auction prices for posters of The Mummy (1932- $452,000), Metropolis (1926- $356,000) and King Kong (1933- $245,000) have recently reached all time highs. In my opinion, Saul Bass posters for films like 'Vertigo' and 'Anatomy Of A Murder' as exciting as these high-value posters. Contemporary poster collectors of all kinds are giving Bass' designs special attention, and even building collections around key pieces. The effectiveness of his imagery is undeniable, resulting from his constant striving for perfection and his optimistic rejection of stuffy and uninspired conventions, which governed the majority of American poster designers from the 1940s.
