Passport

https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/passports

Here is a link that shows what needs to be done to get hold of a passport. This is important to my film becasues the man is going to be trying to travel to Syria and it will be done legally so there needs to be an explanation of the character preparing to go with the legal documents needed. The fact that the character is entering the country legally is to explain to the audience that the character is the protagonist and that he is not the antaagonist. It also shows that everything in the film began above board and legal but it could so quickly change once the reporter arrives in Syria. The idea that the journalist might need to escape a certain situation but he won't be able to without the passport because it would be illegal or perhaps it might show that one of the people the reporter meets needs the passport to get out of the country and they potentially steal the document which is a sign of betrayal in the film which is common to the crime genre because in the genre there is for example the Godfather where Freddo goes against the family and suffers the consequences or The Good Shepherd where the professor is the traitor and he suffers the consequences which does not sit well with the protagonist.
