Evaluation
My opening sequence represents the conventions of a crime, thriller, and action movie. The fast paced chase scene backed with gritty grime music gives the instant impression that the film will include guns, drugs, and money. Other films in this type of genre are films like Kidult hood (2006), Bullet Boy (2004), Shifty (2008). I wanted my opening sequence to immediately be established in the same mould as the mentioned films. I also wanted to incorporate the idea of organized crime, that was present in other British low budget films such as Lock Stock and two smoking barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). To achieve this mise en scene had to be representative. The pursuers were dressed in suits and drove an expensive sports car (Audi TT) which resembles they are part of an organized crime world involving a lot of money (Higher than the average criminal). There is a narrative pattern, that if we were to continue filming, it would conform to. The equilibrium was present but for a brief period of time. Equilibrium was present from when the main character walks from the gambling shop, to his flat. There is a disruption when there are intruders in his home. They kidnap his girlfriend and the majority of the film is spent trying to gather up the ransom money by any means necessary.
