Thumbnails

This is Me Wez and Will's thumbnails for our practical. we have chosen a wide variety of camera shots to show hierachy and make the piece interesting. We will also use a create piece of sound non diagetically for tension.

xXx

This opening is an action/thriller genre and is from the film triple x. It uses an interesting kind of music (rock/heavy metal) which is fast moving which matches the opening chase. The same as the Saw 3 opening it uses dark colour and is lighten by lamps etc only. I think Music And Scene are the most important thing to get right in a thriller. At the start of these openings there is usually a mystery.

James Bond

This opening is from James Bond 'Casino Royale'. It uses sound to build up tension like all the thriller openings i've seen. It also uses an enigma code at the start when bond chases this black guy. The mystery of this is why bond is chasing this guy and what he wants with this guy. At the end of the opening we find out he wants the guys bag, and it actually finishs bond opening his bag, this is a great way to end an opening as it encourages an audience to watch on.

Lutterworth Film Locations

The image above is not a good location for a film because it is to narrow, and also it will be diffecult to film on because of the lack of space around the concrete.



The positives about this picture is that it has alot of space to film different angles to get the best possible results, also this alley way has motor access for the motorbike we are planning to use. One negative of this alley way is that it is near a lot of houses so we may get complaints about the noise we are making.

The possitives about this alley is that it has the urban touch that we are trying to achieve, it also has space to achieve good camera shots. One negative is that it may be hard to ride the motorbike down this alley.

This alley way has a lot of potential because it has an urban touch, also we could do a range of different shots because of this our end product will look better. A negative of this is that it is a popular walkway so it may be hard to keep continuity because we will have to keep pausing shots.

Class Feedback

Name of film ideas:

Interception, Chase, Long Run

Potental Problems:

fight scene could look tacky, May be to complicated, hard to achieve good affect, use of special affects could be a problem, hard to do quick editing, hard to make it realistic, find correct locations, mat be diffcuit to film and edit,

Positive Comments:

Mugging sounds interesting, sounds be a good intro if all goes well, cliff hanger, great idea, good pitch good idea, good ideas for story line, good idea different to other peoples good chance to get some good shots, well thought of plot, interesting story line.

Advice:

Get older actors, Don't show face of the mugger, keep affects simple, quick fast pace editing, no tacky affects, look at other texts, use affective face paced music chase, don't copy other films.

From this advice me and my group will look at the realism of our film, this is a big problem for us because if we do not capture the realism our film will look tacky and will get us a lower mark than we expect. Another bit of advice we recieved was to use older actors, this we didnt really consider but now we are looking into possible older actors for our film.

Mood Board

On my mood board I have chosen a number of films that have a fast paced scenes in them. Some of the films do not quite relate to my film story, but I have taken camera shots from these films and seen what shots go well together. Films such as Rambo and James Bond are to hard to emulate because of the extremely high standard, but what Me and my group aim to do is to take shots, story plans, and types of music from them.
