non - diegetic slow/ tense music and the start of a character voice over.
The establishing shots and non - diegetic music are calming and relaxed.

- A low angle shot reveals a male protagonist triggering a gun combined with the non
diegetic music which heightens becoming louder and faster. This dramatic music is
followed by a mixture of close up and medium shots cut together to show a car speeding
towards a male character who pulls out a gun and shots the driver. These fast pace
shots are effective as it shows clearly what happens but creates tension and excitement
for the audience as they are watching.

- Subtitles and text is added effectively in between tense sections. This looks professional.
Magazine Cover:
- Interesting layout and proximities of characters used for the main focal image.
One character has been placed higher up potentially revealing they have greater
power and authority over the other characters.

- Title of the film runs along the bottom. The typography used is effective as it looks
futuristic and would insinuate the film follows an action genre.
- The main image is a medium shot of 4 characters placed in a pyramid layout.
The main character is placed centrally and is the biggest. We really liked the way
they have layered and used proximities to show what characters are more important
than others. They have also chosen to use props, the props used are weapons which
also conform to conventions of a action genre.

- The credits have been placed under the main image, this looks professional and realistic.
The background image of a city skyline with the clouds being eyes is extremely
clever and unique. It helps to create a setting for the film.
