Creativity in post production & conventions.

Where creativity is concerned, we will use editing software such as Final Cut Pro to ensure that our filming is enhanced to make it look as professional and gripping as possible. Where the editing is concerned, I have previously looked at titles and subtitles available on final cut pro and I believe that the “splash” one is suitable for our introduction as it helps connote the title of “Red Bullet” as we are able to change the colour from black to red which will connote blood and therefore violence which is a common convention for action films, allowing the audience to develop a further understanding of what the film will be like. Furthermore, this title sequence also includes a subtitle option in which we could use as the opening titles are running to show the credits as the chasing sequence occurs in the background, creating a sense of continuity. Alongside this, we will use non-diegetic sound to ensure that the audience are directed to feel certain things at certain times to help build atmosphere later on within the movie as using mysterious music will help build curiosity and therefore build up throughout, making the film more entertaining.

Alongside this, we have been extremely creative with conventions as we have gone against the typical passive female role as we have made our antagonist a female, making her appear more dominant and therefore the male more passive where as in the majority of action films the male takes the lead and dominates, having the female as passive. By having a passive male we have ensured that he is emotional, this shown when he is the one chasing Jamie, showing that Jamie is in control. 

Furthermore, we have also shown Jamie as a rather typical girl where her costume is concerned as she is wearing rather basic clothing, this going against the typical female character of the girl next door. By having our gender roles reversed we have gone against typical action conventions, this allowing us to be as creative as possible.
