Genre Typecasting

Which actors usually appear in your genre?

The actors that normally appear in the crime drama genre are 
Tom cruise, Robert de Niro,  Nicola Di Pinto, Daniel Craig and Many more.

Why do you think they are chosen?

I think they are chosen for such type of roles because they are good at that role 
and they have experience. They can also be chosen to do such types of role because of 

the way they look and their personality also if they have been famous for doing these 

types of roles then it is quiet difficult for them to do such type outside of these genres

 due to fan demands and also maybe other genres wont suit them.

How will this aid your casting choices?

This will aid our casting choices as it will allows us to know what type of person would be suitable for our genre meaning if an person has an innocent face then they wont be suitable for our genre as we need someone who is looks like a villain and someone who is rude.

Iconography and Convention

Target Audience

For target audience we wanted it to be suitable for people so the age group people i decided to do is teenagers that are over 16 + and adults that are interested to watch crime genre. We would also represent our target audience that i think would be appropriate for our film opening. 
By researching and knowledge of what crime movie both teenagers and adults would enjoy we wanted to make our movie which is suitable for both. We have included a kidnap scene in our film opening, which immediately  establishes the genre of our film if it were to continue. 

HOW WILL IT INFORM YOUR INITIAL  IDEAS AND LEARNING?

Over the course  I have researched and looked a various film openings done by students and watched film of our genre to get an general idea and make our genre  interesting.

SO FAR MOVIES I HAVE ANALYSED

SkyFall

Night Crawler 

Fast and Furious 7

Our chosen genre is a  Crime  film. We decided on this genre as we wanted to try a different type of suspense and also wanted our genre to be different from our classmates. From analysing many crime genre films, we decided that our Crime film opening should be based on something that has happened and send an message across to make people understand and learn from mistakes.

Iconography and conventions

Iconography and conventions.

What images come to mind when thinking about your genre?

Our genre is crime, by thinking about our genre, the main images which come in my mind are danger, crime scenes, violence, actions, mystery, seriousness, darkness, evil and blood. 

By looking at my imagination, you can see that our genre is not colourful, funny and peaceful, but full of questions, doubts and scariness.

Overall, I can say that this genre, which is crime, is more suitable and mostly liked by adults and sometimes teenagers. But, this crime genre it is not suitable for children.

Pitch

Plan for script

Plan

A young teenager in high in status gets kidnapped. This person is a woman because it is conventional. The kidnapper has left some clues which is easy to the victims to find him out. Overall, this is an action and mystery mixed drama.

The reason of the kidnapper doing this, because the young teenager's father stole all the main stuff, such as money, houses, lands from the kidnapper, which now the kidnapper is trying t o get it back.

Target Audience

Target Audience For A Crime Thriller

Crime thrillers are mainly targeted to an older audience, by this I mean adults, the age 25 and over, this is because in Crime Thrillers, you can find and hear hard vocabularies, which younger audience won.t be able to understand. In addition, in Crime Thrillers there also be powerful scenes, which children are not able to watch, such us murder scenes, blood scenes and many other. In addition, this is mainly preferred by male audiences.

In addition, Thriller movies are attracted by both gender, males and females. Males are interested this is because there is lots of actions. Then, females are attracted to thriller because they like to watch scripts and movies where they ask lots of actions in their mind.
