Conventions

Movie convention vary on the genre they are made for. Most movies have alot in common such as movie title and production logos:

• The camera pace is always fast during action movies. In fast and furious 6 there was a tank chase which had fast paced editing as shown in the clip below. Another example was the last chase scene where they were chasing the plane and pulling it down.

        

• There is always the movie title (name of the movie)

• Normally show the location e.g urban city

Casting

Mohamed Nasr is the right hand of the gang leader. he has been the closest member to the leader. He has been on the streets since the death of his parents. In the opening he has called these guys for the deal and decides to sneak away from the scene.

Joe Griffiths is the a member of the gang and in this  opening scene he is responsible of keeping Stewart(the cop) back so then Miles (gang member) can throw a chair at him. after that they run away from the scene.

Shaun Turner is the more experienced cop in this opening and he has been training Stewart for his first mission which is this drug bust but is devastated that his trainee died  on his very first mission. he has to arrest Kartik Sharma.

Todorov's Theory:

this is probably the most common structure used within all types of films. it is basic it follows the following-

• states the equilibrium
• a disturbance in the equilibrium 
•  recognition of the disturbance
•  trying to restore the equilibrium
•  the return to the equilibrium or to a new one

Flashbacks:
Flashbacks are when a story starts at the end and the the core of of the movie is to backtrack and find out what happens

Twist:

In most movies with twists the bisander turns out to be the villain of the one who betrays the bad side

BBFC Rating

After viewing the BBFC ratings page and researching the requirements for the different age groups we have finally concluded that our movie will be rated 15. This typically means that the movie shouldn't be viewed by personals under the age of 15. We have come to this conclusion because our movie contains explicit violence and content which only audience under the age of 15 shouldn't know about. this might also have a bad influence on a younger audience in a negative, such as, the use of drugs, guns, negative language. We wouldn't recommend people with a severe case of epilepsy to watch this movie because of flashes. We choose this rating because our opening scene it self so you can imagine how many scenes and bad words there will be in the actual movie. The movie isn't for children under 15 because of the action, the language and the content of the actual clip. The plot of the opening Scene is a drug bust and it is something a child shouldn't be exposed to at such a young age.

Gender Representation (Female)

These females are very strong and are confident in what they do. The physical attributes that are carried by these characters are;

- Physical Strength
- Mentally Strong And Stable
- Independent
- Attractive

Most of these Female Characters use sexual attraction against their targets. For example Angelina Jolie in Salt. The picture at the top shows us that she is a professional at using guns and willing to fight and protect whoever and herself.

Another example is the female in Expandable 3 who played a vital and tough role in the movie. As a female she represented as a strong person who is fighting for a purpose and she seems to be more tougher then most men in the movie. She has a skilled feature of use militant grade weapons showing a strong attribute of her.

My final example is from Fast Five, Giselle plays a very vital role because she had to get the fingerprints of the villain so she used sexual attraction to get it.


There are no female actresses in our video because you don't really see a female actress at a drug dealing scene. It isn't a popular location for their presence.

Special effects

Our video will have various sound effect and lighting such as:




Gun shot:
We are planning to use the gun shot sound effects so there is a sense of realism in our video because  we don't want our video to have characters shooting bullets without sound. This will just make our video look very dull.


Bags zipper opening: Our video will have a more suspenseful effect and we will be slowing the sound track down for it to be more dramatic.



Muzzle Flash: Using Muzzle fire is hard to do  but we don't use it as much in our production because we are mainly going for fist fight and pushing, there is only one bullet shot which cant be seen because Stewart the cop who dies covers it up in the frame

Blood squirting: This is an effect we could use but we failed to use it because when preparing the product we messed it up but we never used it.



 Bullet time shot: This will be more effective because this creates suspense because the audience will not know who the bullet will hit. In our scene case it will hit the police officer

Props and Costumes

Our opening scene uses a variety of props. We will in be including a couple props from different movies


Cars:

Guns: 

Money:

Our Costumes are going to be different for both party. The Drug lord will be wearing formal clothes (i.e Suits) and the cops more casual.

Drug Lord:

WITH A BULLET PROOF VEST

Gender Representation(male)

Male actors have the tendency of having more of a masculine feature, and seem to be very independent individual. These actors tend to be hero in a movie. These are a couple characteristics which are portrayed by and male actor:

• physically powerful- example: in Fast Five Dom is a strong individual who has one goal which is protect his family at any cost so 
• mentally powerful
• have a good physique 
• sexually attractive (in some cases)
• independent  
• young (in some cases)

Location

We have located a abandoned school in Qatar which everybody has access to.
we believe that our location is perfect for our opening scene because there is demolition around the location. There is a shanty feeling to the area. this area has a discrete and lonely feeling. There is a  abandon school at the location where we will be filming

Our other option was a discrete road entrance beside an Abandoned Warehouse where there are no cars and one shanty houses
