There are many conventions that need to be applied to films that are within the crme genre. Most of which we will be sticking to within our opening sequence. The first that we will be using within our opening sequence is that the gangsters or the people that are involved in the film normally have a uniform of some description. We will have a uniform for our detevctive. This uniform will be what is stereotypically associated with an old style detective such as let's say sherlock holmes. The detective will be wearing a long coat and a flat cap. Along with some props; a magnifying glass and a notepad of some description. However in order to stick with another convention of the genre this detective will be corupt and have some dealings with the crime as well. This is shown in more detail within the synopsis.
Conventions that we will be sticking to with the two gangs that we are using for the film will be that each of them also have a uniform of some description. With the jab (lower class gang) wearing hoodies and tracksuit bottoms, as well as having props which in recent times due to the publicity that it they have recieved from the media includes having a weapon, which in our film will be a knife. The royals (upper class gang) will tend to wear suits on the large part of the film.
There will also be the theme of violence that will run throughout the flm as this isn't only a typical convention but also what we discovered that the audience would expect to see from a crime film. Other conventions that our audience told us that they were expecting were for the character to be male. For this reason the entire cast of the opening scene is male.
