Film Annotation finish

Genre and how the opening suggests it.

Our film is a action/crime film, and because of this we needed to acquire music which helps influence things such as chase scenes and fight scenes, which are in almost all action films. The opening suggests that this film is an action/ crime theme because the intro is very quick and sudden, and the music is quite loud, and there is no real introduction to the characters because of the tense moment which the audience is suddenly thrown into, where Lewis Hall is spying on Filthy Frank. This conforms with the stereotypes of action films because the opening of our film enforces a feeling that you are suddenly thrown into the fray.

COSTUMES AND PROPS:  Our costumes were relatively simple, this is because the characters were in the drug industry, and they wouldn't be wearing any fancy clothing, also, the character  Lewis Hall is an ex military man, so he would be acting as ''undercover'', which means that his clothing would be similar to the drug dealers, but at the same time dividing himself from the crowd. Our only prop was a BB gun, which was seen at several parts of the film. This conforms with the conventions of action films because the costumes and props in crime films are relatively simple, and in some films, most of the characters just wear normal everyday clothing, or are either undercover cops, and in our case for filming we stuck to that idea as it was better for us.

TITLE FONT AND STYLE:  For our opening two minutes, we didn't include a title, this was mainly because we wanted to quickly introduce the characters, however, we did place a title on the YouTube video. This conforms with the conventions to action films because most of the time they are suddenly thrown into the scene.
