Freddie W - Cereal Killer

A video showing a civilian coming out on top against armed robbers and 

humorously being taken for ruthless mean machine by a worker.

Conventions

Different conventions were included in the film which we would expect to see. These include: 

• The companies Logo - Cereals 
• An introduction to the main character - Guy with the Headphones 
• Letting the audience see where the film was set, setting the location - Supermarket 
• The point in time which is shown to us through the use of denotation - he is the last customer in the shop, indicates that it is closing hours in the facilities. 

Mise-en-scene 

Costume - Robbers uniforms (modern), dark coats and jeans, balaclava - Straight Forward recognition

Lighting - very bright lighting - Mainly because it's inside a supermarket so the light has to be on to show us the location and the action in the the film and how the main character is very wary of the situation he is in.

Actors - All the actors in the first 2 minutes are extremely well organised and seem to have every step though through before hand. This gives the intention that it's a tense moment, and that if anything goes wrong, then it could lead to big consequences.So adding to the intention of secrecy and suspicion. Like when the subject is looking at the cereals we get to see a point of view shot of the subject looking straight at the robbers eyes and calmly places the cereal boxes back in the shelf whilst having a gun pointed at his face

Make-up - the only make up is on the cashiers face and she has lots of it and bright blue hair, lots of editing to make it look like blood comes out of people when they get shot. Makes it all seem very real. 

Props - The main prop used was weapons,cereals and cash(Also helped to set the location/time zone) and also the costumes worn and the guns used.

Setting - The film was set in a supermarket in the closing hours. We know this because of the subject is the last person in the customer in there, Alot the costume the actors are wearing give the audience some indication of the location and where the film is located.

Editing - In this film there is a lot of editing, from 40 seconds onwards, it is just blood spilling everywhere and weapons being fired. 

Camera - As with every film, there are different camera shots/movements used in it. At the very start, we saw the camera 'Track' the subject and then we see a over the shoulder shot of him choosing what cereal to buy, this allowed the audience to see the location of the film. Then later on we see a mid close up of him looking at the cereal but action going on in the background where we get to see a gun.This shows us the genre of the film. 

Sound
Diagetic - Diagetic sounds would include sound that the actors them self could hear. Like in the beggining where the subject has his headphones quite loudly and is listening to music.This would include the dialogue of the characters when interacting,this includes the man being asked for his money and wallet and the guns being fired.
Non-Diagetic - Non-Diagetic sounds are noises that have been added to add suspense and make the events feel real.
