1. What is revealed to the audience?
A anti-terror summit is being hosted by the president of the USA in Spain, however there is obviously some conflict arrisen from this decission as there are a large quantity of protestors holding anti-american signs.
2. What is conventional?
- Titles: White lettering on black background,
- Sound: Looming music using drums (is almost military in sound),
- Mise-en-scene: Set in a foreign country,
- The narrative deals with a current issue; terrorism is a typical political thriller theme,
- Due to the sub-genre of the film, major political figures are involved with the plot (in this case the president of the USA)
- Editing: straight cut continuity editing (jump cuts are used during the montage at the start of the film)
3. What is unconventional?
- No clear main characters (protagonist or antagonist) are established.
- Titles: the animation of the titling is complex, with a montage of images layered in the background.
4. How has this inspired me?
I think the theme of terrorism is a strong one as it is both realistic, menacing and relatable; every member of the audience can, in some way, relate to the threat it poses.
