The genre text is a gangster film and the genre conventions of this genre are a robbery, gun fights and police chases. The key codes for this genre are music - to help built up tension, formal dress code to show importance within the group and lots of close camera shots to show the emotions of the character. These create a much more intimate feeling within the film.
The key images in the sequence are the suits and the slicked back hair to show the decade it was set in and to show that they mean business. The part where they are all walking in a line is key signifier in this sequence because it shows that they are a unit and it is a famous sequence in media.
The sequence tells us that the film is going to be violent and have a sense of friendship throughout. I would expect fast paced gun fights, police chases and a killing or 2 from this movie.
I think that men from the age of 20-50 would be the key audience because there is loads of action and a lot of swearing involved in the film.
