Urban life conventions:

Protagonist -
The main protagonist in urban life films tend to have a negative outlook on life due to social class and environment. Also usually the character is perhaps from a dysfunctional home. For example not having a father figure. Furthermore the character tends to be more serious and sensible than his friends, which is noticeable when around a large group of people.


Antagonist -
The antagonist is considered to be the rival of the protagonist, therefore could be seen as the troublemaker. There are many examples of how these two characters could know each other. For instance the antagonist could possibly be a sibling, traitor, ex friend or a rival gang member.


Environment -
Typically these types of films are set in urban deprived areas, which is normally inner city. Areas of this part of the city that create an appropriate environment are places such as alleyways, illegal shelters, broken down buildings, prison and council estates.
