3 Narrative structure Part 1: Introduces the narrative equilibrium themes of a diamond heist by the American gang through the voice over of the key Protagonist, Turkish, who is linked through a parallel plot of a boxing match. Part 2: The Disruption is two fold highlighted with key texts ‘where is the stone’ and ‘your going down’ hinting at a rigged fight, showing a montage of action shots. Part 3: The Cast are introduced using a Spaghetti western influenced graphic sequence with further hints at attempts to ‘fix’ the disruption.

4 Camera and Mise en Scene
Skewed Framing gives a Postmodern sense of unease in the narrative and characters. Props establish the generic iconography. Low Key Lighting gives it a ‘Noir-ish’ quality. Costume helps to establish the obvious stereotypes used in the narrative, testing Postmodern notions of challenging representations. Sets establish the bleak underworld – illegal bare knuckle boxing arenas.

5 Editing Postmodern Editing – Time remapping is used to accentuate action scenes and excite audiences. Still framing is used as a anti-narrative device to highlight key frames in the action, coupled with film noir-ish voice over, to drive key narrative points. Still frames are used to highlight key characters using heavily stylised graphics, akin to Graphic novel styles; and Spaghetti western fonts. Also highlighted in the soundtrack. This has also been used in films such as Trainspotting

6 Sound Voice Over – using the key Protagonist, Turkish, to set the narrative theme and plot. An anti-hero with a cheeky cockney drawl, establishing the ‘crime caper’ element. Fast paced ‘remixed’ dance music drives the action and sets the frenetic pace. Remix of 70s iconic Incredible Bongo Bands ‘Apache’. Diegetic sound uses dialogue from key characters to help drive the narrative. Non diegetic sound effects such as ‘fast rewind’ used as the visuals and editing speeds up.
