Presentation Script
“How the representation of football hooligans has changed since films based in the 1970’s. “

PROJECTOR:  Opening slide, shows images of the three main films- Awaydays, The Firm and Green street.

Presenter:  In recent times the football violence scene within films has became very popular and has itself has became a sort of subgenre itself. Many of the films their selves have been created within the past decade, but between each film have been set in different time eras and present very different images of the culture itself. For my research project this year I have chosen to base it upon the subgenre and to find out how the representation of football hooligans has changed in the different genres and from films based in the 1970’s.

PROJECTOR: Images of the characters in each film with a caption displaying which one is what.

Presenter:  In all of the films there is a general image of the characters being part of a gang and all three display an outsider trying to work into the gang, and they follow the story of the outsider integrating with the lifestyle and the way in which the characters behave. Although all the films have a similar basis and situation the storylines alter greatly- with different outcomes.

Presenter:  Awaydays is a film that shows the representation of football hooligans from a writer in 2009 basing the film in 1979, The film shows the football gang in general but also shows that members are in fact individuals with own individual problems and views. The film connects to single characters not only the main subject of the violence for example the character "Carty" is dying to get involved with "The Pack" and has to work his way he and you also see interesting parts of his relationships with members of "The Pack" and his Family. Another interesting example is of the character "Elvis" who has everything that "Carty" dreams of but he is not happy with his life and to some extent seems "dark" which he cannot get out of.  The violence within the film is not glorified but is shown to be as the main purpose and what the characters enjoy.
