A massive part of business corruption and the corruption of money tends to result in four major things, drinks, drugs, money and guns. With this in mind I decided to research and deconstruct this use of props within trailers and crime based narratives.
Drinks:
Alcohol and drinks, tend to be the number one item of use in media materials which contain some aspect of crime. They can greatly range on the type of drink, with champagne being the alcohol choice of richer characters, and whisky being a lower class drink, also used for characters with social or moral distress.
Drugs are another major part of crime within the narrative of films, whether it is the taking of them or the selling of them. They come in many kinds such as powder (cocaine), tablets (rophies) and liquid/syringe (morphine). For our trailer we will most likely use what will look like cocaine and tablets as they seem to be a richer persons drug.
Weapons are another major part of crime in media conventions as they have the most interest in a narrative whether it is action or drama, and therefore can be very useful to portray crime in an easy way, mainly because they are associated with crimes and murder.
Money in crime narratives are the main drive in the narrative as it is what enables the characters to attain drugs and weapons and is the main reason for corruption in crime and business corruption making it a very important piece of mise-en-scene which we therefore shall use in our trailer.
