Using Conventions from real media texts

Post Production

Research and Planning

Research
  • Existing Texts
  • Codes & Conventions- genre characteristics slideshow. We discovered that in a Heist movie it was essential to have a certain type of setting which were dark streets, offices, big cities and restaurants. This was useful as it helped us to make a decision for our setting in the opening of our AS film. 
  • Order of credits- We watched other Heist films and realised there was a specific order the credits go in and we had to follow that order to be conventional. Such as Director last. However, we discovered that Heist movies did not have one specific 
  • Mise en scene- In the research we found out that the characters for a Heist film wear smart clothes such as suits as did our characters in our AS film. 
  • Location research- Our location research was not up to our best standards as we did not look at different locations we only looked at the restaurant. This was not useful as we only considered one option and did not broaden our options. Also, there was a possibility other setting would have been a better option for us.    
  • Research into genre- different opening sequences of Heist films such as Oceans 11, Snatch and The Town.
Planning 
  • Audience- Heist movies were 15/18 certificates which meant we could use more swearing in the voiceover and allowed us to see what our target audience was. 
  • Storyboard
  • Script
  • Call sheet- Our time management was very good as we had a time schedule to be finished by and we did finish on time.
