Evaluation Question number 7

Evaluation question number 7
Since our preliminary task which is called your fired. I feel that we have progressed rapidly we have learnt about the different shots and how to do them when in the original video our shots were not very well executed. As well as the I feel that we have a much greater understanding of editing and our capability to do this has improved duratically. As when we did our first video the editing that we did was very slow and did not fit to the video. We also used the wrong music choice and the sounds where out of place. Where now we know what to do and also how to do it.

Location

Locations for our movie.



·         Gordonstoun school Library

·         Path out of round square

·         Along chapel wall

·         Next to cross

·         Across biology department courtyard

·         Ally way between expedition store and art block.





All locations have been given permission to be filmed in. We have chosen these locations because each scene adds to the effect of our movie. We have chosen places with low key lighting and against older buildings with stony walls to give it a sense of a poor place in hackney. We have added in the shot location of the crucifix to add irony to our movie.

Key elements

 


The key elements which we will have to use are;

Genre; it is an action/drama a suttle drama filled opening but bursts inot action

Audiance; We are aiming for mainly male viewers between the ages of 12 to 18.

Strauss

In our movie we are using strauss theory. This is where our movie will start off with a equilibrium and then something bad will happen and then get sorted but then another thing goes wrong and gets sorted and it will end on a high or equilibrium again

Pearl and dean

The range of product has also broadened significantly with cinema no longer being the sole preserve of Hollywood blockbusters. Nowadays you are as likely to pop to your local cinema to watch a heartfelt documentary, an intriguing indie-film or even live opera as you are to see a big 3D family film or action flick.
All of this has resulted in an increasingly diverse range of audiences going to the cinema on a regular basis, all of them highly targetable by any number of criteria including film choice and location. Some of the major audience profiles are shown below, but feel free to give us a call to discuss your target audience and how you can best use cinema to reach them.


institutions

I researched many different institution that could of produced a comedy action movie along the lines of ocean’s eleven, I looked at some opening titles and the institutions that produced them, and some very popular ones came up. The institutions listed above are four of the most renowned in the world.


Paramount, unerversal, working title, dream works

media story

our media movie
Media story

On the streets of hackney people feared a gang of 5, 4 boys and 1 girl, they where criminal geniuses. They had several key factors they where intimidating and they always watched where they trod. They had everything the money the girls and they where living the high life however that was not good enough for them, they wanted something people would remember them buy they wanted something that would put them on the front of the every newspaper that was published they wanted to be the top story on every single news broadcast. They where going to rob the worlds biggest bank luckily for them robbing was there main speciality along with killing it was as if they had no emotion or feeling as killing was part of their daily routine. It would have been easier than planned if it wasn’t for this one cop who had been following them since they first erupted into something massive he had been eagerly anticipating the day they do something to big for their own boots as he did not want to jump them to early. This cop that goes by the name of clayton was bought up in rough areas in Kingston, jamacia, he moved to England with his mother and sister when his dad was shot dead on the streets henceforth the mother wanted somewhere safe to live. Ever since he has been raised to fight and protect himself, 20 years on he is a extremely successful cop with a wife and two children however the question is will he bust the world most wanted.

Opening titles and screen shots











films of the same gender

My film brief was James bond and Ocean's eleven.
at first we took all the James bond films and ocean’s eleven and 12, all of these films where action related they go along the lines of the films listed below:

Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
Transporter

Mr and Mrs Smith.
Snatch.

These movies use a lot of action to intrigue the audience and they also have a great plot.

jelly baby task

We aligned the Jelly Babies on the plane as they were on their way to Las Vegas to take a gambling holiday. We used a bird’s eye view shot to capture all of the detail.





This is the Jelly Babies on the way to their Hotel in their limo.





The Jelly Babies are settling into their new environment this is the Jelly Babies in the hotel room admiring the accommodation.





The Jelly Babies where renowned for their cheating ways, this is the Jelly Babies discussing their plans for the night.





The Jelly Babies decided to get a drink before they became rich, they had talked through their plans and wanted something to eat and a drink, they were found at this American bar





After a drink and a meal they entered the casino dominating the floor, intimidating the dealers.





They tried their luck and they got lucky, they came into the casino with millions and left with more.





They where feeling modest and felt as if they should show off their money to the public, which did not help their situation.





The Jelly Babies spent the money on a privately charted plane from Las Vegas to London Heathrow, as they were in the safety and comfort of their plane they failed to perceive that they had been spotted cheating, and was causing great chaos on the ground.





As they landed at Heathrow they realised something was not right as they glare out the window they noticed their chauffer driven car was surrounded by blue lights, they looked at each other and discussed another plan.

Film brief

                         
For our film brief we have chosen a James bond story and we got inspired by Ocean’s eleven as well. We have chosen this type of movie because we think that an action movie takes more time and it’s harder and there are a lot of more shots and details to do. We did hesitate between the action film or a comedy film but we finally went for the action one.
