Only the rookie is an exception as he is the new member of the gang. To keep the film opening true to the genre, I believe that real life gang members do not take the time to fix their hair, instead they use hats frequently, I intend to use this ideology to achieve a high level of authenticity whilst portraying a hooligan type of story.

• When discussing hair, none of my main characters will have their hair exposed as they will be covered with a certain style of hat. Only the rookie is an exception as he is the new member of the gang. To keep the film opening true to the genre, I believe that real life gang members do not take the time to fix their hair, instead they use hats frequently, I intend to use this ideology to achieve a high level of authenticity whilst portraying a hooligan type of story.
