Evaluation Question 5

Genre convention
Atmosphere:We wanted to create a mystery atmosphere, we feel we did this correctly with the lac of faces seen. we wanted to follow up the genre convention of a suspenseful atmosphere. to entice people to watch our movie. We hope that this will attract the audience into viewing all of it. With the handheld camera shot it will hopefully make them feel as they are part of the movie, and what happens will effect them, its hard to do that from the beginning as people only care when they build a re pour with a character.

Character:With our genre convention we decided to not show the faces of our characters, this will keep suspense over who they are. We used them for a suspense filled mood. we also kept genre convention by making them white males who are middle class. This follows gene convention. I believed that if maybe some things under genre convention then people may watch it as society seems to complain about change all the time and seems to like the same old stuff again.

Music and sound.
For music everything we used had to be non-copy write, under law. Our music is similar to that of 'James Bond' this is good as our target audience are fans of that series. there is very little diagetic sound, the only really sound is on the radio broadcast and the gun shot, this was used to create tension.

Cinematography
To set the scene of queens square we used a panning shot. This is let the audience know what kind of area the action will be taking place in. This allows the audience feel like they are part of the shot and almost feel there watching in real life. This will hopefully attract the audience into watching our movie as we want them to feel part of the ride the characters are going to take. We also used an overhead shot to show the people that even though the characters seem to know what they are doing that they are still vulnerable and able to be killed .

Mise-en-Scene
Costume:We used a suit and tie combination to show that the characters are above class, that they have formal wearing jobs and probably earn above the average pay.
Props:The only props we had were a brief case and a gun used to shoot one of the spies. The queen of hearts is another prop its used as a calling card by the woman, we hope that this will entice people to keep watching to find out who she is and whats in the case.
Setting:Queens square, main reason close to school but the underground reason is the building cage in a grassy area it shows that there is no hope for one of the spies who's about to walk out of the grassy area into the dark ally of death.
Lighting:The area where the two spies swapped cases is well lite but when one leaves its dark this represents danger, as that's the place he died we felt this sitting to the situation.

Editing
We used a lot of fades in and out, this represents mystery of the scene and that its not just simple to cut out of it. Also the text colour that we edited in is blood red and black, this shows that the movie could be quite dark and that the happy colours aren't here. Also we edited it into black and white. While we aren't going to keep this throughout the whole movie we found it suiting to show that this is a dark movie throughout.

Unique selling point.
The main USP of the opening is that we don't show the faces of the two characters. This leaves open the element of mystery and makes the movie seem like it could have a few good twists that make you go 'ohhh' or just gaze in awww. We hope this will make people want to see our movie.
