We have decided to create our film sequence using a new genre; we are no longer using the gangster/crime genre after changes to our storyline, instead now using a Thriller genre based approach.
The Thriller genre:
"Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. They often take place in exotic settings such as foreign cities, deserts, polar regions, or high seas. The heroes in most thrillers are frequently "hard men" accustomed to danger: law enforcement officers, spies, soldiers, seamen or aviators. However, they may also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident. While such heroes have traditionally been men, women lead characters have become increasingly common."
-From Wikipedia
Thriller film conventions are the use of sound and editing: using quick, straight cuts, handheld cameras and interesting camera angles they are able to create a quick paced, heart-racing scene often seen in Thrillers. Music that gives tension is also used. Use of darkness and shadows in Thriller films is important too; using the darkness and the light to give the biggest impact to a scene, especially those involving the villain; dark, scary scenes.
