This is the genre research for my opening sequence.

1. Genre Research

2. What is my genre?
I have chosen my opening sequence to be a crime/mystery film. In this,
a crime will be committed, but it is originally a mystery to the audience
as to who did it and what happened. I am going to research my genre
and the conventions that it often uses. I will also be creating a
moodboard which demonstrates other films that may be of the same
genre, props that may be used and costumes that may be worn.

4. Conventions of a
crime film
Often highlight the life
of a crime figure or a
crime's victim(s)
Glorify the rise and fall of a particular
criminal(s), gang, bank robber, murderer or
lawbreakers in personal power struggles or
conflict with law and order figures
An underlying or
competitive colleague,
or a rival gang
Headline-grabbing situations, real-life
gangsters, or crime reports have often
been used in crime films.
E.G The London Riots
Gangster/crime films are usually set in
large, crowded cities, to provide a
view of the secret world of the criminal.
