Research- Key Conventions

Looking at the key conventions of the films Kick-Ass, Brick, In Search Of A Midnight Kiss, Shifty and London To Brighton, we drew together some conclusions.

What all of the films had in common is that before any of the actors appeared on screen, the sponsors of the film and the production companies of the film are all displayed. 
The scene setting then takes place and this is sets the narrative for the film for example in London to Brighton as time setting is shown.


The genres of the films were established and made clear throughout the opening title sequence. The majority of the opening title sequences included the names of the actors etc. layed in text over the top of a genre setting scene. The film Brick opens in a noire style of filming showing the audience that the narrative is based back in time. Kick-Ass begins with a series of clips with a narration from the main character, this style of opening is a way of allowing the audience to get to know the character before the story of the film begins.
