Actors,props photos and interviews

This is props that we used in our film for the robbery we strapped callum up in a rope and threw him into his own car we used the gun at the end when the businesses man shoots the person who didn't give his money back at the end. We bought these products from Tesco as we thought it will be helpful for our film. The gun is what we use at the end of the film when we do the shooting scene. 

Practice Titles

Image
This is the practice tittle for our film which is for the opening of our film it sets the town for the rest of the short film. We have designed this film in a different way which will stand out to the audience and find the opening tittle of the film attractive and think this is something unordinary that they have seen and they haven't seen anything like this before we added sound in the background as special effects to make it look a bit more unique.

Location Research 2

Image
We filmed our film at the back of sainsbury's leatherhead car park as we thought it would be  a good location to shoot our film. We also have a good overview of the film so as the audience they always know what was going on. we though it would be suitable for our film because it would be good for an action film to be set place and we had a kidnapping scene in our film when we tied callum up in a rope and we threw him in the boot. I think the audience would really capture what the film is about as an audience as they could imagine what happens in the film. I think overall we had a good scene and where we set it was good as we had the whole view of the car park as an audience member you could tell what exactly what was going on in the film, and it this is quiet a popular sight for a kidnapping scene to happen so it makes it look a bit more surreal.

Location research

Image
This is our location research we have we recorded a view from the top car park of Salisbury car park we captured all the building from the top of the car park that we filmed. We decided to film here because we thought that it would be a great scene for a kidnapping scene because it is a wide space and we can use that well. As it was a kidnapping scene we went in a car and had a chase scene and i think in  a car park it was a suitable place.

The film rating for this film is 15 as we will have a lot violence in this film we will be fighting in the trailer and also chase scenes in the film which is not suitable for a younger child than that to see it as it could influence them in a bad way. In our film we will have a local gang member who wants his money back from the other rival gang that he lent his money to but they are not willing to pay him back in time so the businesses man decides to go and find him and beat him up. we will be putting someone in the car boot and driving away with him inside as he is not liked by the other gang. Their is gangs in our film who are beating each other up about money and they where overdue a payment.we will also be using weapons such as a baseball bat which is not appropriate for a young kid to watch. I think an under 15 year old will find it hard to understand why he would get beaten up for not giving back his money in time. the audience will want to watch our film because they will think...

Genre Conventions

Genre Conventions This is a mind map of action which has the main conventions of an action films. Some examples are that many action films are set in Eastern European Countries because many action films include terrorists, also many action films contain explosions and fight scenes which then suggests that there will be lots of action going in in the films. This mind map would give me some crucial ideas on what we could add to make an action film good as well what I could add to improve an action film. These thriller conventions will help our group decide what we could have in our film, for example we will need to add some kind of music which will have to be intense because as our film is a action thriller film there will need to be some music to make the scenes more intense. Another convention is that there needs to be a strong story line because it needs to engage the audience and bring them along with the story, if the fil...

Soundtrack Research

Background Music- In our film trailer we will try and put in some background music within the scene. This is what most the thrillers have these days as it causes huge tension, it is used and is very effective within the film. Background music is used to add emotion and rhythm to a film. Usually not meant to be noticeable, it often provides a tone or an emotional attitude towards the story or the characters within the film. In addition background music foreshadows a change in mood. For example dissonant music may be used in film to indicate an approaching (but not yet visible) menace or disaster. This type of music is non diegetic music this is because it is music that the characters cannot hear. The clip below is from the film jaws, this film is most famous for its well-known soundtrack that it has. The film manages to cause a large amount of tension and suspense when this soundtrack is played, this is because the audience knows that something is going to happen and it is not going to ...

The storyline for our trailer

The storyline for our trailer We are hoping to create and action/thriller film that could possibly include a robbery or either a kidnapping. The kidnapping will take place because of a multi-millionaire who is holding a grudge over someone who has done him wrong in the past. The multi-millionaire phones up a couple of hitmen while he is abroad on holiday in Barcelona so he is far away and will not get caught up in the trouble, he then asks them if they can do him a favour by locating the man who is wanted and abducting him from broad daylight.

The matrix film analysis

Image
Firstly in the matrix film trailer you can tell by the start that it is a action/ adventure film by the clothes that he is wearing. They are all wearing black dark clothes which you associate with action films. In the film you can tell the genre is that by how they are all dressed up and all the weapons they have on them. The sound in the trailer is very slow and low beat for example when the boy and the girl are hugging each other in the room the music is very slow. Throughout the trailer the music goes at the same slow passe until the gunshot and the massive explosion towards the end. When they are fighting in the end the music if very fast and effective as it shows the tension showing between the 2 characters fighting it went from a slow tempo quickly to a fast tempo. When they are fighting in the end their are medium shots of them fighting then it goes right into a close up and that is effective because it shows their facial expressions and the tension going through both charac...
