Conventions on my chosen genre

  1. Gemma this is really great and you've put loads of time into it clearly. However, there's a few bits I want you to improve to get a top-marks A grade:

    1. Give all posts a title

    2. Might want to talk a little more about clothing and connotations of...same with brands (i.e. burberry in Green Street)

    3. Get some images to support Lighting paragraphs.

    4. Iconography - add too the intro sentence ('signs that are unique...TO THE GENRE')

    5. Narrative needs work!!! You can't say 'there's no narrative' in all 3! What's the equilibrium like in the 3 films? Calm? Relaxed? Or are we introduced into a world of crime and violence from the start? Is it fast paced? Slow paced? Does it build up to a climax or throw us straight in? Is there enigma or do we get what's going on as an audience pretty easily?

    6. Editing techniques - why are these types of edits and cuts used? What effect do they have? Do they connote a hectic, aggressive, rebellious environment/group?

    7, Same with camera shots - think about connotations. What about handheld shots as well?

    End it with a conclusive list of generic conventions for crime.

    This is Level 4 in most areas but let down by the lack of analysis for narrative, editing and camera. Address those and it's a full-marks A grade.

    Great effort - keep it up
