2. My genre is gangster and the conventions or the norms in Gangster movies is usually
involves a lot of violence and the props are usually guns or knifes and in my opening I
used a gun as a prop.
My opening is also like many other gangster movies where binary opposites are used its
good versus evil and one character trying to explain himself.
IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT USE,
DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE
FORMS AND
CONVENTIONS OF REAL
MEDIA PRODUCTS?
3. I analysed the opening of RockNRolla, Gangster NO.1 and Lawless which really
helped me with my opening because I didn’t want my opening to be like any of them.
Lawless takes 7 minutes to get to the title and the opening for the first 3 minutes
shows the scenery then it gets into action I wanted to get straight into the action.
RockNRolla is mainly animated and there isn’t any actual acting going on.
In Gangster NO.1 there isn’t many acting as well but you can hear dialogue and they
cut away to a black background to show credits. The openings I analysed showed me
what I didn’t want to do for my own opening.
I used universals opening in the my opening sequence this is because they are one of
the movie production companies I analysed that would produce gangster movies.
