The movie Gone Too Far! (2014) Dir. Destiny Ekaragh Writ. Bola Agbaje is a comedy drama with themes of romance, crime and masculinity. It consists of a main element which all films need to progress and that is conflict. The film only consist of two main settings and the and surrounded the lives of roughly six characters such as: OC Ukeje, Adelayo Adedayo, Shanika Warren-Markland and Malachi Kirby. which is inevitable by the £200,000 budget that they had which is low for a film.
The elements of masculinity was shown throughout the film though the use of the main character Yemi who had represented like a tough and "cool" male, like most of the other male characters to show dominance, he was also very independent. Also Tosin Cole who played Razor had the masculine image as though he was a 'bad man' who was in charge of the estate and had the girl that everyone wanted. He was represented as the guy that every boy wanted to be like and all the girls wanted to be with, this is a main representation of a male character throughout different movies. Due to the lack of funds, the directors and producers were unable to really push the story line one which made the movie seem as though it was repetitive.
A low-budget film or low-budget movie is a motion picture shot with little to no funding from a major film studio or private investor. Many independent films are made on low budgets, but films made on the mainstream circuit with inexperienced or unknown filmmakers can also have low budgets. Many young or first time filmmakers shoot low-budget films to prove their talent before doing bigger productions. Many low-budget films that do not gain some form of attention or acclaim are never released in theatres and are often sent straight to retail because of its lack of marketability.
