level 3 creative media term 2 theory task

1. Term 2 theory task-
Look at choosing a videogame/film/tv series/magazine/fanzine (something
in the media industry) of my choice and look at analysing it inin-depthdetail.
At first, I made the decisiontolook at a videogame of my choice but thenI
changed my mind and decidedI would be better of looking at a chosenfilm
of my choice instead. In the end I made the decisiontolook at ‘The
Highwaymen’. In this task I will be looking at the Plot, general background of
the film (i.e. work while film was in productionext.). I will alsobe looking at
a specific screengrabonthe film and giving it an in-depthanalysis, making
use of the new techniques that I have learnt/lookedat inpast theory
sessions.
‘The Highwaymen’ is 2019
producedfilm, directedby
John Lee Hancock and
writtenby Fusco. The film
follows Frank Hamer and
Maney Gault (played by
KevinCostner and Woody
Harrelson), twoformer Texas
Rangers who attempt to
track down and apprehend
notorious criminals Bonnie
and Clyde in the 1930s.
PLOT-

Bonnie and Clyde break several associates out of the Eastham PrisonFarmin
Texas. In response, Texas Department of Corrections Chief Lee Simmons
persuades Governor "Ma"Fergusontohire former Texas Ranger Frank
Hamer to track down the criminals independent of the Bureauof
Investigation. Fergusonandher staff are sceptical, having disbandedthe
Rangers for more advancedunits, but she reluctantly allows Simmons togo
ahead. Hamer initially hesitates due tohis family but both he and his wife
accept after hearing about a devastating shootout inMissouri involving the

2. infamous pair. Hamer's former partner, BenjaminManey Gault, joins Hamer

BACKGROUND INTO BONNIE AND CLYDE- Bonnie ElizabethParker
(October 1, 1910 –May 23, 1934) andClyde Chestnut Barrow (March24,
1909 - May 23, 1934) were Americancriminals whotraveledthe Central
UnitedStates withtheir gang during the Great Depression, robbing banks,
gas stations, stores, andkilling several people, including police officers. Their
exploits capturedthe attentionof the Americanpublic during the "Public
Enemy Era," between1931 and1934. Thoughknown for their dozen-or-so
bank robberies, the duopreferredtorobsmall stores or rural gas stations.
The gang is believedtohave killed at least nine police officers andseveral
civilians. The couple were eventually killedinMay 1934 during an ambush by
law officers near Gibsland, Boonville Parish, Louisiana.
Even during their lifetimes, their portrayal inthe press was at odds withthe
reality of their life onthe road, especially for Bonnie Parker. While she was
present at one hundred or more felonies during the twoyears, she was
Barrow's companion, she was not the cigar-smoking, machine gun-wielding
killer depictedinthe newspapers, newsreels, andpulpdetective magazines
of the day. Althoughnumerous police accounts detail Parker's attempted
murder(s) of officers over time, gang member W. D. Jones contradictedthem
at trial. He testifiedthat he couldnot recall ever having seenher shoot at a
law officer.
CLYDE BARROW- was born in 1909 intoa poor farming family in Ellis
County, Texas, near Telico, a town just southeast of Dallas. He was the fifth
of sevenchildrenof Henry Basil Barrow (1874–1957) andCumie Talitha
Walker (1874–1942). The family migrated, piecemeal, toDallas inthe early
1920s. They were part of a migrationpatternfromrural areas intothe city,
where, like the Barrows, many settledinthe urbanslum known as West
Dallas. The Barrows spent their first months inWest Dallas living under their
wagon. When father Henry had put together enoughmoney tobuy a tent, it
was a significant improvement for the family.
Clyde was first arrestedat the age of 17 inlate 1926, after running when
police confrontedhimover a rental car he had failedto returnon time. His
secondarrest, withbrother Buck, came soonafter, this time for possessionof
stolengoods (turkeys). Despite having legitimate jobs during the period1927

3. through1929, he alsocrackedsafes, robbedstores, andstole cars. In January
1930, Clyde met 19-year-oldBonnie Parker throughamutual friend. After
spending much time together during the following weeks, their romance was
cut short whenClyde was arrestedandconvictedfor auto theft.
After sequential arrests in1928 and1929, Clyde was sent at age 21 to
Eastham PrisonFarm inApril 1930. While inprison, Barrow retaliatedfor
being repeatedly sexually assaultedby attacking and killing his tormentor
witha leadpipe, fatally crushing his skull. This was Barrow's first killing.
Another inmate, already serving alife sentence, took the blame. To avoid
hard labour in the fields, Barrow hadanother inmate use an axe tochop off
two of his toes;he walked witha limp for the rest of his life. Without Barrow
knowing, his mother had successfully petitionedarelease for him, which
took place six days after his intentional injury.
It was said that when Clyde Barrow was realisedfromEasthemprisonhe
came out as a hardenedand bitter criminal, whichcame to a much surprise
and disappointment tohis family as his sister said‘something serious
must’ve happenedto him inthere as he came out never tobe the same
again’. Along withthis a fellow inmate of Clyves saidhe watchedClyve
change from a ‘school boy to a rattle snake’.
BONNIE PARKER- Was born in 1910 inRowena, Texas (southof Abilene,
Texas), the secondof three children. Her father, Charles Robert Parker (1884–
1914), was a bricklayer whodiedwhen Bonnie was four. Her widowed
mother, Emma (Krause) Parker (1885–1944) movedher family back to her
parents'home in Cement City, anindustrial suburbnow known as West
Dallas. She workedthere as a seamstress. As anadult, Bonnie wrote poems,
such as "The Story of Suicide Sal"and "The Trail's End" (known since as "The
Story of Bonnie and Clyde").
In her secondyear in highschool, Parker met Roy Thornton. They dropped
out of school and were marriedonSeptember 25, 1926, six days before her
16thbirthday. Their marriage, markedby his frequent absences andbrushes
withthe law, was short-lived. After January 1929, theirpaths never crossed
again; however, they never divorced. Bonnie was still wearing Thornton's
wedding ring when she died. Thornton was still inprisonwhenhe heardof
her death. He commented, "I'm gladthey went out like they did. It's much
better thanbeing caught”.

4. In 1929, after the breakdownof her marriage, Parker livedwithher mother
again and workedas a waitress inDallas. One of her regular customers inthe
café was postal worker Ted Hinton. In 1932 he joinedthe Dallas Sheriff's
Department andeventually servedas aposse member in the ambush during
which Parker was killed. In the diary she kept briefly early in1929, the 19-
year-oldParker wrote of her loneliness, her impatience withlife inprovincial
Dallas, and her love of talking pictures.
BARROW GANG BACKGROUND- After Barrow was releasedfrom
prisonin February 1932, he andRalph Fults assembledarotating core group
of associates. The twobegan a series of small robberies, primarily of stores
and gas stations, their goal was to collect enoughmoney and firepower to
launch a raid against Eastham prisonto free prisoners. OnApril 19, Bonnie
Parker and Fults were capturedina failedhardware store burglary in
Kaufman, Texas, in whichthey had intendedtosteal firearms, andwere
subsequently jailed. WhileParker was releasedina few months after the
grand jury failedto indict her, Fults was tried, convicted, andservedtime. He
never re-joinedthe gang.
On April 30th
, Barrow was the driver ina robbery inHillsboro, Texas, during
which the store's owner, J.N. Bucher, was shot and killed. Whenshown
mugshots, the victim's wife identifiedBarrow as one of the shooters,
althoughhe had stayedoutside inthe car. It was the first time inthe crime
spree that Barrow was accusedof murder.
On August 5th
, while Parker was visiting her mother inDallas, Barrow,
Raymond Hamiltonand Ross Dyer were drinking alcohol at a country dance
in Stringtown, Oklahoma, whenSheriff C.G. Maxwell andhis deputy, Eugene
C. Moore, approachedthem inthe parking lot. Barrow and Hamiltonopened
fire, killing the deputy and gravely wounding the sheriff. This was the first
time Barrow and his gang killeda lawman; eventually, they reachedatotal of
nine. On October 11th
, they allegedly killedHowardHall at his store during a
robbery in Sherman, Texas, though historians have consideredthis unlikely
since 1997.
Bonnie and Clyde's next brushwiththe law arose from their generally
suspicious andconspicuous behaviour, not because they had beenidentified.
The group ran loud, alcohol-fuelledcardgames late intothe night in the quiet
neighbourhood. "We bought a case of beer a day," Blanche would later

5. recall. The men came and went noisily at all hours, and Clyde dischargeda
BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) inthe apartment while cleaning it. No
neighbours went tothe house, but one reportedsuspiciontothe Joplin
Police Department.
The lawmenassembleda five-manforce in twocars on April 13 toconfront
what they suspectedwere bootleggers living inthe garage apartment.
Though taken by surprise, Clyde was notedfor remaining cool under fire. He,
Jones, and Buck quickly killedDetective McGinnis andfatally wounded
Constable Harryman. During the escape from the apartment, Parker laid
down covering fire withher BAR, forcing Highway Patrol Sergeant G. B.
Kahler to duck behinda large oak tree while .30 calibre bulletsstruck the
other side, forcing wood splintersintothe sergeant's face. Parker got intothe
car withthe others. They slowedenoughto pull inBlanche Barrow from the
street, whereshe was pursuing her dog Snow Ball. The surviving officers later
testifiedthat their side hadfiredonly fourteenrounds inthe conflict, but one
hit Jones on the side, one struck Clyde and was deflectedby his suitcoat
button, and one grazedBuck after ricocheting off awall.
DEATHS- Barrow and Parker were killedonWednesday, May 23rd
, 1934, ona
rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. The couple had appearedin daylight
in an automobile and were shot by a posse of four Texas officers (Frank
Hamer, B.M. "Maney" Gault, Bob Alcorn, and TedHinton) and two Louisiana
officers (HendersonJordanand Prentiss Morel Oakley).
After they hadbeenshot the car they where shot todeath in, along with
their bodies were towedtothe local town and escortedby police officers. It
is said that people crowdedround to try and get a piece of the infamous pair
(jewellery, clothesor evenhair) tohang onto inmemory of the pair, some
where seentobe successful rather as the most of people were not.
FRANKHAMER- (March17th
, 1884 –July 10th
, 1955) was a Texas Ranger,
known in popular culture for his leadershipof a 1934 posse totrack down
and kill the criminal duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Hamer acquired
legendary status inthe Southwest as the archetypal Texas Ranger. In1922 as
senior captainof the Texas Rangers, Hamer ledthe fight in Texas against the
Ku Klux Klan. He is believedtohave savedfifteenAfricanAmericans from
lynch mobs. He is an inductee tothe Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.

8. WHATWAS GOING ON IN AMERICA DURING THETIME OF BONNIEAND
CLYDE (1930S)-
After the Wall Street Crashof 1929, the largest stock market crashin
Americanhistory, most of the decade was consumedby an economic
downfall calledthe Great Depressionthat hada traumatic effect worldwide,
leading to widespreadunemployment andpoverty, especially inthe United
States, aneconomic superpower, and Germany, who had to deal withthe
reparations regarding WorldWar I. The Dust Bowl (whichgives the nickname
the Dirty Thirties) inthe UnitedStates furtheremphasisedthe scarcity of
wealth. Herbert Hoover worsenedthe situationwithhis failedattempt to
balance the budget by raising taxes. FranklinD. Rooseveltwas elected, as a
response, in1933, andintroducedthe New Deal. The founding of the Civilian
ConservationCorps (CCC) and the funding of numerous projects (e.g. the
Hoover Dam) helpedrestore prosperity inthe US.
Meanwhile, authoritarianregimes emergedinseveral countries inEurope
and South America, inparticular the ThirdReichin Germany. Germany
electedAdolf Hitler, whoimposedthe Nuremberg Laws, aseries of laws
which discriminatedagainst Jews andother ethnic minorities. Weaker states
such as Ethiopia, China, and Poland were invadedby expansionist world
powers, the last of these attacks leading tothe outbreak of the WorldWar II
on September 1st
, 1939, despite calls fromthe League of Nations for
worldwide peace. WorldWar II helpedendthe Great Depressionwhen
governments spent money for the war effort. The 1930s alsosaw a
proliferationof new technologies, especially inthe fields of intercontinental
aviation, radio, and film.
ANALYSIS OF ‘THE HIGHWAYMEN’(2019)- There is a lot that I can say
about this filmas for me I myself have found this an incredibly goodfilmto
watch and I believe that it manages to give a good and strong representation
of ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ and the ‘Barrow gang’ ingeneral. Along withthis I also
believe that it gives the viewer agoodidea of what things where like in
Americaduring the 1930s.
At first whenI startedwatching the filmI didn’t think much of it but it was
when the filmstartedtomove further along that I really startedtoget intoit
and start enjoying watching it, there is clearly alot of time and consideration

9. that has beenput intothe productionof this filmfor themto make it look
the way they have. I believe that this was mainly done via the locations of
which they chose tofilm, by making themlocations of whichBonnie and
Clyde frequently visited/drove throughduring their years onthe run, such
locations includedLouissiana, Dallas ext. This is something for me that I think
helpedtogive the film that realistical link tothe historical chase of Bonnie
and Clyde as I think it gives the viewer that sense of what it was really like
chasing Bonnie and Clyde along with where they went during their years on
the run.
For me I believe that this is great for somebody to watch that has a historical
interest inthe fallencriminal couple andit could give you some new facts of
the pair of which you previously didn’t know.
It’s the small details inthis filmwhich really helptomake it a success as well
not just how well the filmfollows the deceasedcriminal couples trails, its
more the details they put into make the filmas relatable as they could tothe
actual events that happenedwiththe gang/couple or what Americalooked
like in the 1930s. For example, the ending scenes of the filmwhere Bonnie
and Clyde are shot dead, it was actually filmedon a highway but they
coveredthe black tarmack of the highway over withdirt/gravel andeven
planting trees at the side of the road tomake it more look like the road of
which the pair were actually shot on at the time. This Is something that some
people may find appealing especially if they are interestedinwhat happened
to Bonnie and Clyde. Althoughthis occurs inthe final scenes of the film, this
is something of whichI can see has beendone in earlier different points
throughout the film, especially whenthe twoTexas rangers ‘Frank Hammer’
and ‘Maney Gault’ are chasing the two outlaws out of a passing-by town
which ends withthemchasing the twoacross a dust/dirt plain, of which was
again createdby a vast amount of sand/dirt being layed across the black
tarmack, this helpedtocreate the effect of thembeing blindedby the thrown
up sand/dust from the pair driving over it. Althoughthis might not be seento
be a big feature but it is one of those small details that make the filmmore
realistic tothe events of what really happened.
The costumes/clothing of whichthe actors wear along with the props usedin
this filmare for me something of whichI believe really helps toillustrate the
time/year of which this filmis based around for the viewer/audience. I can’t
really distinguishwhichdoes the jobbetter as I think the clothes andprops

10. both have the same amount of influence on the film. But despite this I very
much like the clothing of which some of the main characters/actors wear,
especially more looking at the male side of it. The suits of which the main
male characters wear are the suits of whichin the time of which the film is
set, higher uppeople/dominate people/well of people wouldwear them,
more particularly looking at people who are in the government/well payed
jobs. So this gives me the ideathat the main characters/actorsinthe film
who are wearing suits throughout are the more dominate/higher class/more
respectedpeople, this is especially the case whenit comes tolooking at the
main characters ‘Frank Hamer’ and ‘Maney Gault’, as they both are wearing
full suits throughout the film. This would normally give me the impression
that they are higher up people/more dominate characters andthis is
especially the case withone of the Texas rangers ‘Frank Hamer’ as towards
the start of the filmwe see himto be living quite comfortably without any
needfor a job, so it looks to be that he is a well respectedperson, above
living standards of the films time. That and the fact that he is a ‘Texas ranger’
so withhim being part of the ‘law’ it makes sense for him to be dressed
smartly i.e. in a suit. However this is not seentobe the case withother Texas
ranger ‘Maney gault’ as at the start of the filmit shows him tohave fallenon
hard times since he had lost his previous jobof being a ‘Texas ranger’ and to
be living withhis daughter in a small house and he is not dressedsmartly he
Is infact dressedinoldand tatteredclothes, youonly actually see him
wearing a suit when he is sat In the street waiting for other ranger ‘Frank
Hamer’, this thengives me the impressionthat the twowere only wearing
suits throughout the filmtoappear to be more dominate towards people as
if people are to obey/listenor evenlook up tothem, this is down tothem
both being members of the law.
The two main outlaw characters of the film ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ are both also
seentobe wearing quite well fitting/poshclothing throughout the film,
normally I wouldsee this tobe odd as withthem being criminals onthe run,
you would normally think that they would have the time todress smartly.
But this isn’t seentobe the case withthese twooutlaws as it is saidthat they
both likedtodress well evenduring their time onthe run, this is especially
the case with‘Clyde’ as in the filmevenhis dad says ‘he always likedto dress
fine and get the girls’. Not only this but also it is said that the couple had
gottenthemselves ‘celebrity like fame’ during their years onthe runand due
to this they will bothof had an appearance to keepup if they wantedpeople

11. to keeppraising them/liking them. The criminal couple wouldhave most
likely beenable toafford there lavishclothes fromall of the robberies of
which they committedduring their time onthe run from the law, this is also
the case withthe vast amount of guns/weapons of which the couple usedto
gun down all the law they did.
Throughout the filmthere is quite a use/mentionof the automobile ‘Henry
FordV8’, this is the car whichcan be seento be usedby Texas rangers ‘frank
Hamer’ and ‘Maney Gault’ during their time chasing the couple ‘Bonnie and
Clyde’. Besides this youcanalsosee that ‘Clyde’ himself makes good use of
the car himself and it is said that he evenwrote a letter to‘Henry ford’
himself complimenting himon making a ‘great car’. The people who livedin
Americaduring the 1930s andfollowed‘Bonnie and Clyde’ will of most likely
seenthe car tobe a very good car for themto have beenable to avoid the
law for solong. Due to‘Clyde’ being able to be on the run for so long and not
get caught by using a ‘henry ford V8’, more people wouldprobably have
gone tobuy the car in the hope of being able to be like Clyde, this wouldof
happenedall over Americawhere It was able to purchase the car.
The amount of ‘Henry Ford V8’ cars usedby the people of Americaduring
the time of the 1930s canbe seenat the end of time filmwhen the police are
towing Bonnie and Clydes dead bodies and car along the street, the edgesof
the road/street are linedwith‘Henry FordV8s’. This gives youthe impression
of how many people lookedup to Clyde and Bonnie as more celebrity like
people.
Despite of what I have talkedabout so far, I think the main thing for me of
which I like withthis filmis the colours of which they have usedthroughout
to helpillustrate the time of whichthe filmIs set in. Throughout the majority
of the film they make good use of some darker colours/dulling colours
especially whenit comes tothe colour of the clothes the characters/actors
are wearing. Especially more looking at the male characters as the majority
of themwear dark/if not dull colouredclothes, whichare more like ones of
which you would tendtofind in the 1930s. This is alsothe case withthe
colour clothes of whichthe women wear throughout the film, althoughthey
wear nice clothes, they are all tendedto be dark colours i.e. dark
blue/black/grey. Whenit comes tolooking at the colours of things the rest of
the film, they are majority all basic colours, again the sort of colours you
expect tosee inthe 1930s i.e. lots of white houses/brownpaintedshops.

12. This can be seento be the case at the start of the film whenfirst approaching
the governers mansionand frank Hamers home as they are both witha white
exterior. This just shows that the majority of large houses/homes would
come tobe paintedwhite inthe 1930s.
The director of this filmmakes good use of various different camera
angles/filming techniques especially more whenthe filming of the chase
scenes have been filmed. The more favouredcamera angles for me are the
low-angleddistant shots that are usedwhenthe two rangers are chasing
bonnie and Clyde. This gives an appeal to the audience because by using
long-shot cameraangles the viewer is able tosee what is going on in the shot
but is also able to see a slight glimpse of the backgroundof the shot and in
this case is able tosee what Americalookedlike inthe 1930s. Along withthis
the director alsomakes quite a good use of close-upshots, infact they are
actually usedquite a lot tomostly catch the facial expressions of some of the
main characters. Quite afew close-upshots are usedInthe ending scenes of
‘The highwaymen’, whichI thought tobe great as you get a close-upof
Bonnie and Clydes face before they are both about to be shot todeath, this Is
something that I think is great to include because this canbe seentobe quite
a historical moment(bonnie+clyde death) anit will really gradthe attention
of the viewer/audience as for themit could potentially make themfeel as if
they were actually there because the close-upshot of their faces before they
die can be seentogive resemblance onhow close Texas rangers ‘Frank
Hamer’ and Maney Gault’ were before they shot the twocriminals todeath
after they refusedtosurrender.
This concludes my term2 theory task on ‘The highwaymen’, overall, I believe
it to be a good and enjoyable filmto watchand I’m sure that many other
people who enjoy to watch films basedon real life criminal/gangster events
will find this right uptheir street andvery much wouldenjoy watching it,
overall I would recommendit to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable film
to sit back and watch.
