Genre Convention Research: assessment feedback

5 things that are conventions in the gangster genre would be

• Money
• Suits
• Family
• Male
• The Boss

If i had to contrast against the theme of gangster i would consider making the boss a woman,however this might not work very well.

Rough plan of an opening sequence

Close-up of a gun on floor with a pool of blood around it. Blackness and then white writing appears on the screen."New York 1973".Then a close up of a guys lips whilst he is talking.The monologue will be played over the top of this.He will light a cigar and place it in his mouth at the end of the dialogue.The dialogue will be the boss ordering some of the members to take attack on the enemies.Towards the end of the dialogue the camera will do a reverse creep to show the whole of the guy.Guy will be shown in the spotlight and then the screen will fade to black.

I received a peer assessment from group members josh may,Damian mathers and renee instance.Overall they concluded that they think my idea is there however my planning is a little short of being successful.They believe that i didn't mention my camera shots as efficiently and as much as i could.
