Genre:Action,Comedy and Crime

Denotations: Guns,smart suit,posh scene setting.

Conventions: Like in most films that include spys and top secreat work,Get smart is one of many spy films that roll with the usual concept of a typical 'spy' film. This is shown very obviesly in 1) the choice of costume. In this scene 'Maxwell Smart' is presented wearing a traditional bog standerd black suit,white shirt and a bow tie, and afcorse what is a spy without their favoutite choice of weapon 'gun'.This style of clothing is favoured and ideal for a spy as it is fashioned to all the 'James Bond' movies. Why not any other spy film? isn't it obvious beacuse James Bond is a all time favourite movie hit blockbuster,it's also known nation wide giving it a bigger chance to copy it.2) again in all 'spy' films the main crushuial part of the mission always seems to take plase in grand,posh,elagent.places, i.e the very place Mr Smart here is in.This shows high states in many ways one of the ways is the use of the 'suit'it's usally black and black often in spy films representeds danger,mystrey attitude,important etc.

Connotations: Wearing black in spy films is worn quite often, because it usally represents unspoken attitude,a mystry,importance danger and seduction depending on the style.The checkerd patern on the floor can indicate the message of being trapped i.e in this perticular scene it is the enemy that is given the impresion of he/she is trapped. The checkerd and striped patern on the floor also gives the audience the slight feeling that the baddy is going to get busted by the good guy with the little help of the expresion "your going down succer"
