After having a group meeting we have decided that because our genre of crime thrillers is very broad, we will focus on hitman crime thrillers as our narrative is based around the actions of a hired hitman. Therefore it is important that we further our research and knowledge of this specific type by watching a range of hitman films such as; Hanna, Kill Bill, Mr & Mrs Smith, The Mechanic, Nikita and Collateral. Hitman films have typical conventions which are usually followed to construct a successful movie, they often use weapons such as guns and knives for violent purposes and have a place (office, room) with their plans to target their victim by following them and watching their routine. The hitman is normally assigned a case and given information on the victim , the individual is specifically targeted and isn't random. The hitman is highly trained and is offered a huge amount of money for accepting the assignment and carrying it out.
