Evaluation of Immorality

Question 1

In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Many different types of thriller films influenced our thriller 'Immorality'. Essex boys influenced our thriller because Essex boys like Immorality is a gangster film. We thought that doing a British Gangster film would be the most possible choice as to the location of the opening being in Britain. The bleakness and greyness of Essex boys helped towards coming up with our second location for the opening. The reason that this shot helped us create the shot from our thriller is because we wanted the same dead end work house feel that the Essex Boys opening had. We had to make the scene darker to fit in with the impression we wanted to have so we used a grey filter to make the sky and scene seem more depressing.







We tried to like the debt collector to have many similarities as the main character in Sin City for example he had a packet of cigarettes. So we had the debt collector smoke a cigarette in the opening this would help him seem more mysterious.
The wild track in Immorality was also inspired by the wild track in Sin City. We thought using the sounds of cars passing by would help the audience to understand that even though this one thing is happening other things are going on as well.

Layer Cake inspired the soundtrack genre in Immorality this was because we wanted a soundtrack that was smooth but mysterious and that would flow with the editing of the thriller opening. The main character in Layer Cake inspired the main character in Immortality he inspired us to make him more business man like who had seemed to have taken a wrong turn in his life to make a living. We thought that the use of a nice neighbourhood in Layer Cake would be a great effect to have in Immorality because it would show that the main character was from a well rounded community and had a respectable job.

In Essex Boys, Layer Cake, Sin City and The Third Man all contain voice overs this helped to influence having a voice over in our thriller opening. We thought we should have a voice over to describe what was happening and to make the time laps more obvious.
