Characters
The Leader ~ The man who leads the group, he provides the basic information on the plan but doesn't know much about the skills involved around it. Past experience from previous robberies.
The Brains ~ The man who can get the security files. He gets access to where the cameras are, the building schematics and other classified information.
The Brawn ~ The man who is physically stronger than the rest and knows about explosives. Previous jobs been used to blow open vaults.
The Cocky ~ The inexperienced youngster who somehow succeeded in a previous job, probably a fluke involving walking out with the money.
The Tech ~ The man who hacks the files. The one who shuts down the power and prevents any communication with the security once the job has started.

Scene Montage
During the Scene montage it will show each character doing what skill they do best. An example could be “The Brawn” starting to make test explosives and training for the job. Another example could be “The Brains” drawing up Security files and Building Blueprints.
It will also show different parts of the body as they draw up the plans and start to put the beginning steps of the Heist into action. An example could be the typing of a hand onto a Laptop from "The Tech". This shows us what he is comfortable working with but also shows us what he would be good at. The Leader could also be shown pointing and advising the other members, focusing in on the hands and mouth of him.
The film will also have Freeze Frame shots in which the Character will be doing something "Stereotypical" and would be recognised by the audience. This would allow us to add in the Actors name and the Character name to get the titles into the opening sequence.

Slogan

10 Jobs, 5 Guys...10 minutes

This slogan is here to help catch the attension of the audience, it allows them to remember the film easily and gives an insight in what the film is about. The 10 minutes part gives the the film the challange and already gives us a glimps at what the plan is to be. The "10 Jobs" indicates that there will be 10 hiests for the group to complete in, the "5 Guys" shows us how many people will be working together and "10 minutes" is the total time that all the jobs will make, indicating they need to be in and out from each location in 1 minute.

Opening Sequence ~ The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is a 2008 sequel to the Film Batman Begins. Based around the Batman it follows his battle to defeat the Joker and Two Face.
The film starts off silent to build the tension of the job and is suddenly broken by the firing of a gun and smashing of glass. It has ong Establishing Shot near the beginning. Starts off zoomed out on a skyscraper building and pans into it where we hear a smash and see two clown thugs firing a grapple.
A match on action shot where he fires the gun from the window to grapping the grapple. This allows us to see more of the room but still not too much.
Then we see a slow zoom of a man’s back with him holding another clown mask.
Continuous shot following the two men in the building go down the zip line then shows how far above the ground they are. This then goes into 180o shot of the two men down the zip line.
A match on action shot where he fires the gun from the window to grapping the grapple. This allows us to see more of the room but still not too much.
Main outfits all hide the faces of the thugs. Introduces us to the style and personality of The Joker. The Joker, being he main character in the opening shot, shows us what his “State of Mind is” using the quote “Whatever doesn’t kill you, only makes you stranger”

Opening Sequence Analysis – Layer Cake - Fred

Layer Cake is a 2004 British gangster thriller, directed by Matthew Vaughn. It is based on a novel of the same name by J. J. Connolly. The title refers to the human social strata, especially in the British crime and drug underworld, as well as the numerous plot layers in the film.
You are immediately made aware of who the main character of the film is because Daniel Craig gives a long monologue in the opening sequence, and he is the only one who speaks. Establishing the main character is a generic convention of opening sequences. The opening sequence also reveals support characters as well as protagonists, which are also generic opening sequence conventions. The monologue he delivers confirms what type of film it is, a british gangster drug film. The characters in the opening sequence are all criminals and drug users. This is perhaps to show how drugs are everywhere and it doesn't matter who or where you are, you're only one person away from drugs and criminals. The narrative is quite rude and hard hitting, emphasising the seriousness of the business.
The Non diegetic soundtrack is quite solemn, which reflects the scene’s that are being shown being shown. They build suspense and tension immediately grabbing the viewers attention and exciting them. The mise-en-scene shows the drug magnates to be rich and flash, and shows some of them to be naiive, by being very loud and conspicuous (the yellow range rover). The camerawork is very basic. There are lots of slow panning shots, making it easy for us to see what is happening. A lot of the time, the camera follows Daniel Craig around as he gives his monologue. The editing of the transitions between decades is so smooth that it seems that nothing has changed in the drug world and that it keeps going round and round, which it does.

Genre Conventions

In Crime Capers there is often one thing going on the whole time. For example in the Italian Job there is that one crime they are planning, which continues as the theme throughout the film.

Sometimes there is sub-plots, or connecting crimes. I.e A serial killer, and the cops are trying to find the lad. Like in the movie; 'Bone Collector' Where there is one guy who goes around killing people then the detectives realize he coping it like out of a book, so they look in the book at the next crime and they catch the lad there.

we are going to try and get a cast of about 3 or 4 people, to be the cast in the film sequence opening.

The Italian Job - Crime Caper Analysis

Macro
In both of the trailers for the films "The Italian Job" and "Oceans 11" it shows all of the members of the ensemble cast. In the case of "The Italian Job" it shows that the man guy behind the plan is Charlie Croker and what the reasons are for trying the crime.
In "Oceans 11" it shows again what the main reason behind the Crime is and that the main man behind the plan is George Clooney.
This help draw the audience into the film as they know some of the plan but not all of it, they also know want to know how the outcome of the film is and then encourages them to go see the film.

The trailer also shows the previous events as to why they are participating in the plan. In "Oceans 11" it shows Daniel Ocean being interviewed and in "The Italian Job" it shows the previous job after they succeed in the plan but, then get the money stolen by Steve which then leads to them both to do the plan.

Also, whilst the plan is in action something usually goes wrong. In the case of "The Italian Job" they change they change the safe around. In "Oceans 11" Mr. Weng gets stuck in the hidden comportment.
