This is our Final version of the film we made titled, "Time Won't Tell", I have added annotations using the YouTube onsite editing web application. I have commented the USP's, Genre Conventions, Music used and the Similarities between our film and others
Genre Conventions Comments
Unlike most films of the same genre as our film we have broke the conventions, these broken conventions include;
- Budget
- Dangerous Phyical Stunts
- and destructive disasters
We have broken the budget convention by the conventions of an action film, by having a really small budget, involved in the film making compared to standard films of this genre such as Bourne Ultimatum, James Bond and Die Hard, which have budget rising into the many hundreds of millions of dollars to blow on awesome special effects, etc.
Secondly We don't have any dangerous physical stunts involved in the sequence because we don't have any professional stunts person to cover for the actors, unlike any of the general films which would employee specialists stunt people and co-ordinators to do the stunts, like jumping though a window two stories below from a balcony of another building or crashing and flipping a car at high speed.
There isn't any destructive disasters which include; Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Volcanoes, etc. The reason why these aren't include is because of Costs/Budget and Special Effects, the costs of making these would be enormous and we didn't have either the computing power or specialist software to create these special effects.
We have followed the conventions of this genre of film in the following ways;
- High Tempo
- High Energy
- Allows for Audience Escapism
The Film is a of high tempo and energy, and due to this it'll have the audience members on the edge of their seats wanting to see more of the adrenaline pumping, fast pace action film, along with that we have used the music accordingly.
Our film allows the audience to discover escapism whilst watching it, the film is believable, enjoyable and watchable it makes the audience want to watch, due to the fact that for a hour or two the audience can watch a film which makes allows them to relax but at the same time enjoy it and have their heart beat faster than just sitting watching a tv show, because of the high octane fast pace fof the action film.
