Encoding our Text
For our film opening sequence we have thought of a few ways of which we will encode signifiers to help the audience identify which genre of film they are watching.
Our film is a British Crime film, and is heavily involved with gang scenarios and crime. By having this genre we speak out to quite a wide audience and this genre is quite easily noticed, but sometimes could be mistaken for a thriller. In order to make sure our audience wouldn't confuse this, we will include certain signifiers. One of these being the fonts used, for example 'West 10 LDN' uses graffitti fonts and urban backgrounds which to an audience will immediately let them know what type of film they are about to watch.

Another signifier which we will use will be the use of music and location, for this we will use quite urban, street and grimey locations to get that atmosphere of a hard life for the characters which audiences will then relate to and feel it is more of a realistic approach to what they are watching. With the style of music, we will use will also be quite urban related with a grime style, the type of music we would feel our characters would listen too.
