Crit Feedback and thoughts

My gangster season project is off to a slower start than I hoped. I went into this crit asking for help with my concepts and hoped to come out with a clearer direction. I am not sure I have this yet, but I did come out with a few new ideas to investigate. I am keen to get into aftereffects and start making something, so I am very frustrated that I dont have a clear good concept just yet.

Good points here on finding a 'mood' and 'tone' to work with. I will investigate this and may be the key to moving forward with this. Also comment about simplicity, I think now I excited about the possibilities of aftereffects it has caused me to 'over think' what is needed to create this brief and I have ended up with almost nothing.

This second feedback is very generic, no real suggestions.
