The first generic convention that is used in the clip from Face Off is a twist, this is when you expect the assassin to kill the man but when the child is shot you feel shocked that he got hit. The music is very eerie and it makes the clip seem like it is a memory. It then changes to softer and more peaceful music and it emphasises the dramatic sounds so that you can see the importance of them. This music changes according to the characters state of mind and what they are doing at that time. You see an extreme close up of the assassins finger on the trigger and when the bullet leaves the gun, this adds emphasis to the action of what is happening.
