Evaluation Question 1

Convention: The way in which things are usually done.

IN COMPARISON

I have chosen to compare my movie to 'My Brother The Devil'.

CAMERAWORK:
The film My Brother The Devil have used a couple of establishing shots at the beginning to show the gritty surroundings and the ghetto environment. This is what most teen drama's do. However, we went against this convention as we haven't used any establishing shots and this is because I wanted the audience to feel closer to the character.

Editing:
The editing on 'My Brother The Devil' is at a quite slow paste. However, it does speed up when the action scenes get involved and because most of my film is based around action, the editing paste is fast throughout.

Mise-en-scene: 
Our mise-en-scene is un conventional for a teen drama. However, My Brother The Devil has conventional mise-en-scene because they have used props such as knives, guns and drugs.

Sound:
Our music is much smoother and more mainstream to what typical teen drama's use. For example in 'My Brother The Devil', they have used a rap song whereas we have used a theatrical instrumental. This draws a larger target audience to our movie as our music isn't selected and aimed at a certain set of people. I did this because I wanted to make my teen drama different to what you would normally see in a teen drama.
