Indiana 17, loves hip-hop and R&B, it informs her fashion sense, lifestyle, leisure time and even her hobbies.

she loves the world of hip-hop especially, she engages with music and fashion 24/7 and there is nothing she does not know about music. she keeps up with the latest fashion trends that R&B artist such as Rihanna set. her favourite Hip-hop artist is Nicki Minaj and she dreams that wonder she will be just like her.

She's very laid back and lives by the phrase YOLO (you only live once) which is a very common term in the Hip-hop world. Shes a leader in her peer group but is not heavily influenced by the hip-hop world. The way she looks and dresses has strong connotations and is very getto like.

 in this assignment  I want to be able to achieve at least an A, I will achieve this by using different camera techniques  

key conventions

1. the genre of the film  is a thriller

2. the poster has shown different scene settings, which is giving out a little information about what the plot of the film is about. they've put in a tag line that says "what if a pill could make you rich and powerful" this tag line explains a miniscule amount of what the film is about. they have put the 3 main actors on the poser in order of importance.

3. the trailer has a voice over, which is explaining the film concept. As well as a fast upeat sound track, it also has dialogue fading in out while the trailer is on, so it oits explaining what is going on in the trailer.

4.  the target audience is 18-40 because of the theories in the movie as well as the plot goes on, it wouldn't be so understandabele for under 18's.

5. the film is a promotional sucess because of the advertising that was used to attract an audience also the ratings and reviews given by so many companys and magazines.

limitless analysis

limitless is a thriller; with a little bit of drama, I think this because the film is very mind stimulating, making you think about whats going on. I also think its a drama because of the the segments of the film where he has a girlfriend and has to save her. the setting is really interesting because it is  set in new york and new york is quite a busy place also the characters are business like men who are ridiculously rich to match the setting.
