Research into the genre

Within our particular genre we have found that the use of urban grime music is used to exemplify the area in which the youths live within. This genre is particularly used within knife crime adverts and films such as Adulthood and Kidulthood. However, we think it is most suitable for our adverts within the first few shots where we aim to manipulate audience’s perceptions of youths and change their stereotypical view of black youths. However, we still aim to follow the conventions of the genre so that audiences are familiar. As we aim for an audience of A/B to change their perceptions and an audience of D,E to influence them about the change so they can identify with the issues we will use our soap opera genre to successfully convey a production that reflects the zeitgeist. The first few shots after watching many knife crime adverts; we aim to use high angle shots and high key lighting as within usual youth adverts there are a low key lighting which does not challenge the stereotype- conventions in which we aim to follow.
