Sub genre: Crime
Location: Industrial Town
Narrative: Main character is searching about for something, when the antagonist's right hand man comes along and stabs him, leaving him on the floor to die. Luckily a policeman comes along and finds him. The main character is then lucky to survive. (opening sequence)
Opening sequence is to:
* Set the scene (Industrial) Therefore lots of shots showing the surroundings, eg long shot of buildings.
* Introducing characters (Credits to introduce them along with shots of them)
* Set the genre eg. appropriate music
Sub Genre: Crime
Crime is a primary sub genre of thriller. For example films like: Snatch, The Departed and Reservoir Dogs. This is therefore a popular film genre and so in order to create a good Crime/Thriller is to make a good opening sequence which draws the attention of the audience. Crime is one of the best ways to grab the attention of the audience because it is exciting and action packed. This is why we chose crime as a sub genre because it is one of the few ways to grab the attention of the audience. Films that do this are films such as Snatch (bank robbery)
Location: Industrial Town
We picked this location because it fits in with the genre. It is easy to set the scene because their are lots of buildings and things to film to illustrate the mood and social class of the characters. For instance Snatch uses suits in high class shops to illustrate their high economic and social status. This also relates to costume aswell. For instance you can't have big bright colorful clothes on when your committing a crime in an industrial area because it wont make sense. So this means the location and costume have to fit in with each other.
Characters: Aggressive, confident, sarcastic attitude. (trying to always out do other characters) Don't really care about the consequences. Never give up attitude.
Costume: Big gangster dark clothes to fit in with the crime genre.
Props: Fake Gun, ketchup as blood.
