Conventions of settings and cinematography
For the settings of our film we will be setting the film around the local area to make the main character feel relatable to where he is at and also this will make the storyline more realistic as the settings will reflect where he comes from. The place we are setting the film is in Goldthorpe where there are quite a lot of problems such as domestic violence and a lot of rowdiness. This links in well with the sub genre of our film as our main character isn't preventing these situations of rowdiness and aggression instead he's travelling back in time for mundane and everyday tasks hence the comedy sub genre as he accidentally prevents these serious tasks from happening due to the main character rewinding time and causing the butterfly effect.
Due to our film being a science fiction film as well as a comedy, setting a film in a run down area in a small town isn't very stereotypical of a science fiction convention. However, the reason why we decided to film here is due to two reasons: one reason is that close by to this location is our dinosaur scene which conveys themes of science fiction as he travels back in time to that era and the second reason is due to the audience of our film being local. The audience being local plays a big part in our film as they can relate to the setting that the actor is acting in. Therefore this makes audience alignment in our film extremely effective as they are encourage to feel nostalgia based on the setting of our film.

When it comes to cinematography there are going to be quite a lot of close ups to emphasise the dopiness on our main characters face. By doing this, this will portray to the audience that our storyline is a comedy due to our main character not paying attention to the world around him. In addition to comedy our genre also has aspects of sci-fi due to time travel. We will depict sci fi through cinematography through close ups of the characters expression matched with close ups of the fidget spinner to show how shocked he is with the concept of time travel. In addition to this, when our main character discovers time travel for the first time we will convey our character travelling through time with a space background to portray the science fiction side of the story and to emphasise his amazement of the spinner spiralling him back in time.
Cinematography plays a key part in many science fiction films such as Star Wars and Star Treck. These two films tend to focus s lot on point of view shots to see what a character is looking at and a lot of close ups to convey characters facial expressions in the movie to emphasise shock or anger. An example of this would be in Star Wars episode four when Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker that he is his father. By using a close up this depicted to the audience is facial expressions clearly and how is shock turned into anger. Therefore when making our own film we will add in close ups and point of view shots to convey to the audience what the character is experiencing at the time which also contributes to audience alignment.
