Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), Maharashtra, India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it’s only a part of the total Indian film industry, which includes other production centers producing movies in regional languages. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centers of film production in the world.
Bollywood is formally referred to as Hindi cinema. There has been a growing presence of Indian English in dialogue and songs as well. It’s common to see movies that feature dialogue with English words (also known as Hinglish), phrases, or even whole sentences.

Production Journal
I am in group with Manuel Denegri and Giuliana Brun.
First, we roughly organized the rolls of each of us: Manuel is the writer and director, Giuliana the camarographer, and me the editor.
Then, we started discussing the genre of our film, and we thought in horror, drama, and documental.

The Darkness
The Darkness
INT. DETECTIVE'S OFFICE - DAY
Medium shot
The detective smokes, and works with some papers.
The noise of a beautiful woman (Viveka) knocking the door catches the attention of the detective Charles, who reacts looking at the door, and shouting
DETECTIVE Come in!
Long shot
The woman, looking desperate, enters the room, and says
WOMAN I need you, detective.
DETECTIVE How can I help you?
He turns off the cigarette, and starts filling two glasses with whiskey.
WOMAN There's a man following me all the time. When I'm in my house, when I go to the shop, when I go the cinema. It's very awkward. I don't know what he wants from me. He scares me.
DETECTIVE Since when?
WOMAN Last week... Thursday, I think.
The detective gives one of the glasses to the woman, who replies saying
WOMAN Oh, no! Thank you!
He leaves it in the desk, starts to drink from the other glass, and grabs a paper, and a pen, and starts to write in it.
DETECTIVE How is he?
WOMAN Young, tall, black hair… I don’t know.
DETECTIVE Do you see a familiar face?
WOMAN I don’t think so.
DETECTIVE And who do you think he can be?
WOMAN Really, I don’t have any idea.
DETECTIVE I’m gonna get him, and I will know all about what he’s doing, my lady.
WOMAN Oh! Thank you, Detective!
Silence.
Oh!
She gets some cash from his briefcase. Is this okay?
DETECTIVE He grabs the money.
Perfect.
He accompanies her to the door, and they say goodbye.

Production Journal
Just a few minutes ago I finished editing (correcting subtitles, adding a "Special thanks" to the credits, cutting the first b-roll footage, and putting music into it). The documental is finally ready for the 17th showcase!

Representation of characters: 'Detective Mills'/Brad Pitt
The modern masculinity of Brad Pitt differ from the traditional/old one of the 'Marlboro Man', who looks like a hard-working man, while Pitt is much more attractive because, apart from being good looking, he has a new fashion style: he's a cool man that, for example, in the 1990 advertisement that made him famous, he takes photos and taunts of a kind of 'Marlboro Man' while he hangs out with a beautiful woman.
This is also seen in the 'Seven' scene, with 'Somerset' (Morgan Freeman) visiting Pitt's house, and playing the roll of the 'Marlboro Man', due to that he has a gun, he's alone when talking, etc..

Seven - Working towards the textual analysis
The film has various factors that create the specific genre. For example, is kind of a mix of taut suspense thriller with mystery and horror. Also, a cop drama.
I can say this because of the elements/conventions found on particular scenes, as for example on monday's one, when the policemen found the crime of the fat man being murdered after being forced to eat until his stomach bursts.
