Pavan.... iconograpy

The film genre chosen by me and my group is a hybrid genre which consists of gangster and romance. Due to it being a gangster genre the iconography for the film would generally be scenes of violence to interest the audience, and also weapons to make the audience excited yet anxious to what is going to happen. Furthermore illegal substances will be used such as: drugs and alcohol, this will promote the fact that the genre is gangster due to the rebellious things used. Moreover the setting within the scene would be quite dark to create tension and for the audience to quite frightened and anxious therefore the scenes must consist of low key lighting.  The sound must be quite sharp and loud to make people ‘jump off their seats’ such as a gun shot, to frighten people of what has happened. Furthermore the quick take off shots and the quick cuts must be included in specific scenes such as the violent ones therefore many people will more thrilled about the quick takes being used.
In addition to this as it is a hybrid genre the iconography for the romance used must contain such scenes of sexual (hugs, kissing etc) therefore encouraging the love between one another. The typical scenes used for a romantic genre is candle lit dinners, ‘personal time’ etc. the sounds used would be very mellow, soft and slow music to create a sense of happiness, and the lighting used would be quite dim, and low to show only but expressions of peoples faces, and certain movements.
