How Tarantino uses generic conventions in “Jackie Brown” 1997

 In the title sequence Tarantino establishes the character of Jackie Brown  through camera shots such as the long tracking shot that follows her through the airport, during this part of the scene the camera is low down looking up at Jackie which makes her look more powerful and dominant than she actually is, this challenges the "typical" stereotypes of women in thrillers because normally women are shown as quite fragile characters that are often used by men because the are shown to be easy to control.
Later in the shot the camera goes to a similar tracking shot but is further away so more of Jackie is shown and the camera is closer to the ground which compensates for the the greater distance between Jackie and the camera but still gives the same effect of making Jackie look more dominant than she actually is, this shot also allows the character to discover more of Jackie's personality through her clothing, This shot also also allows the audience to see how Jackie is walking and this also shows a sense of power because she is walking fairly upright instead of being relaxed about her facial expression and her body language but instead gives the feeling that she is walking as if she was in the army or a similar jobs that demanded quite a strong appearance.
The next part of the shot is a extreme close up on Jackie's face and emphasis the stern look that she has and the look that she is not going to take any rubbish from anyone and the sense of power. This shot allows the audience to see the hidden messages in Jackie's face in case they did not see or realize it before in previous shots, it also allows emphasis or extra detail to those who managed to read the details in previous shot.
The way Tarantino establishes Jackie brown through ethnicity and status is by making her different to the stereotypical women in a thriller film, the status Jackie Brown has in the film is as the lead character which is unusual for a female character because they are normally the support character to the male character just like Melanie is later on in the film, Jackie gives the viewer a feeling that if a male character tries to control or take advantage of her she would not let them and would fight back because she is a lot stronger than the typical fem fatal.
Tarantino continues this theme of breaking the stereo typical image of a female character in Jackie Brown by not making Jackie white with blonde hair and not many clothes which we see quite a lot in more modern thriller films such as Melanie later on in the film where as when we she Jackie in the airport she is fully clothed in her uniform and is not showing much bare skin, also Jackie is a darker skin tone which is not the norm for thriller films and this could be used to market to different audiences because the main character is from a difference ethnicity and because Tarantino is trying to change the stereotype for thriller films and experiment with different types characters.
In the clip of Beaumont Livingston and Ordell Robbie Tarantino uses generic thriller concepts in such places as lighting, throughout the clip the natural lighting is pitch black because the scene is set at night but the non ambient lighting is positioned in such a way that makes the two characters look frightening and powerful, this is also done through the camera angles with the close ups when they are having the conversation near Beaumont's apartment and the part of the scene when they are talking near the car boot. Another good part of the scene which has generic lighting is when Ordell is first stating to drive away , the light on the road to make it look like it is wet is generic and has been used  in a lot of older thriller films when they used cobble streets such as the third man.
Tarantino also had quite a good use of generic locations throughout the scene such as the block of apartments at the start of the clip has a look that makes it seem really cheap and a rough part of town, as i watched this clip I thought that this area would be a place you would not want to go after dark unless you had a death wish not you most likely would not want to go to even when it was not dark. The second generic location used was the car boot, a small confined area which if you are like Beaumont and have claustrophobia is not a place you want to be because there is no escape routes and as soon as you see the location it instantly makes you know something is going to go horribly wrong. The third location is the part of the scene at the end when the camera pans and zooms out to give you a large and wide shot of the baron industrial wasteland which is very quite, spooky and scary area which looks like no one has visited in a very long time and just looks like it has been abandoned which is very good for a thriller film because if you wanted to commit an evil deed then you are not going to be disturbed by anyone else and no one is going to hear the gunshot because at this time of night there is not going to be anyone around so you can commit the evil deed and get away without worrying that there was any witnesses. The camera angle used in this scene suggests that the character of Ordell Robbie is very manipulative and very cunning because the camera shows that the area is very Barron and deserted which imply's that Ordell has planned this murder out for a long time and is trying his hardest to get away with the murder so he mapped out how he was going to do the murder and how he was going to get away with it.
The third clip shows that Louis is a lot more of a psychopath than Ordell is because when Louis performs his murder he does it in broad daylight in what could be quite a busy location where there could a lot of witnesses where as Ordell's murder seemed  more discrete and less risky because he done his murder in quite deserted location at night instead of broad location. Both murders were committed using a loud fire arm but this is more important for the murder committed by Louis because people could have possible heard the pistol go off and this could have cause suspicion where as with Ordell it does not matter that he was using an un-silenced revolver because there most likely was no one around to hear the shot go off. The final comparison i saw was how they disposed of the body Louis simply  left the corpse in the middle of the car park for anyone to trace and lead back to him which for a murder is not very smart where as Ordell takes the body with him the the boot of his car which he could do numerous things with such as getting the car crushed, if he chose to he could have left the body at the scene of the crime like Louis did but been more likely to get away with  the crime if he chose to because of the isolation and how abandoned the location is.
