MIGRAIN analysis:
M: Lighting, high key/ low key lighting.
Low angle shots have been used to make the suspects and the ones being targeted look low an helpless. It shows they do not have power whereas in other scenes we see high angle shots making superior people look as if they have power and are in total control of the situation and what is happening.
Close up shot shave been used to enhance the audiences views on the facial expressions we see. These help the audience relate to what and how the characters feel making them engage with them emotionally.
Long shots and medium shots help us as an audience to see what is actually going on in the mise-en-scene. We have a brief over view of what to expect.
We see Muslims who are shown as terrorists or suspects being represented by professionalisms who are superior to them (Police officers etc)
Sound: Non digetic, yet parallel to scenes. Tense music with fast remix is used to pace up the trailer when we hear about more clues. This makes eneigma codes.
I: Aron Govil productions. This institution is owned by Aron Govil.
G: Thriller genre, this is shown through all of the innocence killings of others and the way the issues are handled in society. There are scenes in the trailer which make us think that it does follow thriller conventions. The dark and dimly set scences show us signs a thriller movie would contain. The genre also follows an action genre. This is shown through the action we see in the trailer, We see officers using gun, we hear gun shots. There is also a clip fastly edited in the trailer of explosives, such as firearms, grenades and bombs on a table. This is when they braek in a nd find out about the terrorist groups location of where they rae operating from and that is the evidence they collect. These props are conventions of the movie following the action genre. As well as physically, there is a lot of verbal abuse being shown, which once again highlights the action genre.
R: There are Muslims who are being stereotyped as ‘terrorists’ and they have been represented in a negative way. This can also be seen and noticed by the tagline ‘is it a crime to be a Muslim’ this instantly targets Muslims which makes you wonder how insecure the characters who would be following Islamic teachings would feel. There are many different negative stereotypes, once again of terrorists and extremists.
A: The importance of a trailer is UN describable. This is the one source that will visually attract the movies target market to actually watch the film. On a whole, shoot on sight will appeal to everyone, this means that it will appeal to a wide audience from different multicultural backgrounds. The trailer itself has a wide variety of actors, we see Asians as well as white and black people. Therefore the movie will also be targeted at these people. The mixture of different actors will also bring in more audience for the movie. (Bollywood and Hollywood cast)
I:There are issues such as Muslim extremism and racial profiling which is covered by the movie. The movie gives the audience an overview of what we se through the protagonists eyes. The difficulties he has to face. As he himself is a Muslim it I difficult for him to make the right decision. The usage of Muslim extremism makes us think about how time has changed since terrorism has fallen as such a huge point to look at. We constantly hear about terrorists and with negative stereotypes (every Muslim is a terrorist) it makes it harder to believe what is real. The movies authenticity makes it a success because it follows such real life issues and situations.
N:The opening of the trailer starts with some undercover cops jumping out of a taxi, after being alerted about a suspect. It continues with a fast pace giving us an insight of the three different genres, action, thriller and crime. Tariq Ali has been handed a difficult task, to find out who is behind terrorist attacks taking place In the local community. Every incident leads from one to another, helping uncover the real truth and incidents. The movie is authentic and deeply sympathises with Islam.




Media guradian Review

The movie was reviewed by Peter Bradshaw. He explains a bit about the synopsis of the movie and his view on how he thinks the movie will do. Bradshaw did not give the movie a high rating, at just two stars it would make the viewers think again about watching it.
He also talks about how the movie would not be as successful in the cinemas and would be a more low market type drama perhaps which would best be shown on a tv channel like ITV in the review. Bradshaw then goes on to say how the movie was not that successful although it would be worth watching because of the performances by Nasserudin Shah and Om Puri.
The media guardian review was simple and did not contain much infromation that would have been relevant to my study or fo rme to include.
It was a brief review which only had information on a little about the story and how the characters were played by the bollywood actors.

Rotten Tomatoes Review
This website didn't even have a review for the movie!!
It has a synopsis like the Media Guardian site explaining a bit about the story line. There has not been any reviews added to the site yet a viewer did perosnally write how he had heard bad reviews about the movie, but he felt totally different towards the film when he watched it himself.

IMDB review
This review gives a viewers view of what he thoght about the movie.
It talks about how the movie follwos its genre conventions and how the audience will be left watching in suspense. The viewer also talks about how no one has been able to tackle the issue os racism as well as Jag Mundhra has in this movie.
The only thing which was criticised in the movie was the Sadie Frost's acting and the way the music did not follow the movies conventions. It was apparantly too 'westernised' to follow the islamic culture.
