The genre associated with my opening sequence is crime drama. The use of a wide range of shots that are commonly seen in crime drama’s develops the conventions of the crime drama genre.
For example, low angle and over the shoulder shots to make a character seem weaker /more vulnerable or more important. Here are a few that are seen in my opening sequence of 'Score'.

The clothing of the characters develops the costume convention in a crime drama as it is basic and dull, drawing the audiences attention to the story itself and camerawork throughout.
At first, I did challenge the general types of soundtracks heard in a crime drama as 'This Modern Love' was my original song choice consisting of an upbeat and fast-paced rhythm. However, I decided to not take a risk and from feedback I decided to use the soundtrack from 'This Is England.'
I used another convention of an opening sequence by showing something from the past with the build up and eventual death of Maxwell. This helped set a tone and perhaps foreshadows future events to the audience as Alex is seen walking somewhere right from the start.
