Insiration for movie opening videos
I choose this video becuase I the actual movie and I think that It would be a good idea to use got our film opening becuase the camera shots that are used are good becuase it uses most of them in this scene i laos like the story line of clip.I like this clip becuse it has good possible ideas that we could use for our film opening. I also like the genre of the clip which is action thriller which is one of my favourite genre for movies.
Orginally for our film opening we were going to use some of ideas that shooter has becuase at the time we felt that it would be a godd film to use as inspiration, but as tiem went on we all felt that it may to be to complicated to try an incorparate some of ideas used in the opening scene.
The Dark knight interigation
I choose to use this youtube clip becuase I like the character the Joker becuase the costume he wears and the appereernce of him is brillaint in my opinion. I also choose it because it has given me ainspiration for one the film opening characters, because I think it would be good use somme ideas to give a clear idea for the charactersin the film opening. Ilso like it because the type of film opening I am aiming for needs to have a villain. So from the clip it has given me soem ideas for the villian.
Sum of all fears car explosion.
I choose to use this You Tube clip as part of my inspiration for our film opening, because Like the way in which the character in the end dies with a bang,the car exploding, I also like the suspence that it offer because at first you think he has got away with it and then unexpectedly he lights his cigarette and that is what sets the bomb off causing the explosion compared to the other two villains who both assassinated using different methods. I also like the video clip because the way in which the villain and the butler both think the car is going to blow up so I like the way in which they both look relived when the car does not blow up when the butler turns the ignition, Also like the way in which the assassin get his cigarette out because he is relived and that is what kills him,and that is the reason I like the clip because it is unexpected.
Film opening titles
Film opening titles
• Time After Time
• Against the clock
• Race against time
• The clock watcher
• Time 4 murder
The tiles above are a few of the titles that I have come up with, however it was not just my diesciosn so as i was working with Nick and Paul, who also came up with some title names which they likded which we would then choose from the best name as a group
Some of Nick film title names are:
- In the background
- The rise
- Una escapada
- Asesinato
- About the unknown
These are some ideas that I have come up with which could be used for our film opening, I have choose these because I feel that they, they could all be used as the title because they all relate to the story behind the film opening. From the list above I feel that the Time after Time is the best because it seems the most suitable. In my opinion because it makes me think owe what an unusual name.
Media location photos
These are some initial photos that I took which I though could be used as possible film location for our film as out initial idea was going to be action out door opening I thought it would be best to use out door locations so that it suits the types of scene we were hoping to create.
These photos taken were some of the location that we were going to use as part of our film however as we decided not to use Shooter as our main insiration for our film the photos taken may not be as asppropriate, however it was part of a learning prosses, and we may still use some of the photos shown.
colour wheel
Theses are colour wheels that I found form the Goggle because I wanted to see what the different types of colours are so that we could then incorporate the colours into our project having looked at the wheels we have thought that it would more suitable to use a range of primary of and secondary colour because we felt that it would make more sense to both as we were unsure with we thought would be most suitable. The main primary colour that I think we might use the most for our film opening is the blue and yellow because as most of clip is out door we are more licklly to use these tow clour more because red is usually a colour used in indoor so we might use the red for the indoor scene.
Urban colour scheme
The colour scheme that we have tried to incorporate into our film is mainly urbanely based colour because the basic plot to our film opening has building and other urban based scenery. The colours that we think that associate with urban is mainly the clod and dark colours. I have managed to find some sample that Think is similar colours that I would associate with urban
As well as using urban based colour we were also looking to use some warm colour like green because from the basic plot that we have I fell that we would be bale to use a range of colour like the green in the film opening.
Film opening basic stort line
Film opening story line
The film opening that we are producing has a an action genre and we have used ideas from various films such as Sum of all fears which was rereleased in 2002, the part I got the inspiration from is the end scene when all the enemies assassinated in different ways and the part I like and have used elements from is when the enemies car blows up when he pushes the cigarette lighter, and the bit where the culprit looks through the window and then walks out the room.
The opening scene begins with a person in an office sitting down and staring at an old fashioned pocket watch for a few second s this being a close up camera shot of just the clock. The scene then cuts and we the see a glare of light that covers the whole shot, for e few seconds which makes the audience think what is it, the camera then panes out and we then see a man walk into the shot, holding a mirror by his side we then see the person walk to his car and get into the car. When the man is in the car we then try to focus on the persons expressions which show that something is not right, the person then looks at the centre mirror in the car for a split second and then gets out of car and looks under the car and see a flickering light, at first he does not know what it is so we uses his mirror to get a better look and realises that it is a bomb with a timer on which has a few minutes left. The person then gets under car to try and disarm the bomb he then manages unlatches the bomb, and then gets out from under the car and goes into the car and gets some pliers to cut one of wires on the bomb however he does not know which one to cut so he decides to cut one not being sure if it is the right one. We then go back to the man in the office who we see press the button on the side of the clock, and then the titles then appear.
The reason we have done the combination of two differ people is because it makes the audience think has the person defused the bomb in time because we don’t actually see if he is successful, and we also don’t know, the audience also don’t know why the man is staring at the clock at the begging making the audience curious.
25 Word pitch
Moodbaord for action genre
Action film music
For our film opening we are sure what type of music to include so I have done a bit of research try and find out what music is used for action film and as our genre is action it would be best to look at music form action films, which is what I have done. What I have found is that allot of the music found in action films tends to more electronic and not allot of singing more of tune.
Possible music genres
For our film opeing we have to have have some music involved within the scene, so to do sat down and decided on the possible music genre that would fit our movie genre the best which is action. The types of genres that we came up with are:
- Opera (not many)
- pop
- Rock
- Theme tunes
Other action films that we have both see that has used rock music in is Transformers which was resleased in 2007. The film uses music prtoduced by a rock band called Linkin Park the song name used is What Ive done.
Anther example of music that is rock genre is the Quantum of solace which was released in 2008 the title of song name is Anther way to die which is the main theme song,I choose this as an example because it shows that rock music can be incorporated in action films which Quantum Of Solace is.
However I personally do not like the song because out of all James Bond sound trakcs I thought it was the weakest in my opinion. the reason I used this video because it shows that Rock music can be effective in film opening however for our story line I do not think that rock would suit it.
Pop music examples
I also researched into different into films that contain pop genre music two good examples are:
- Die Anther Day
- Avatar
Sound track examples
Looking at all different types of genre music that is used in action films we have come up with the conclusion that allot of action films just use a theme tune or a song with no singing or very little, however these are usually used at different scene through the film, this type of music is a good way
Music write up
Having done research into the different types of music that is in action films I like the theme tune genre the best because it makes the scenes in films sound good but it doesn't over power the scene which other genres such as Rock. I also like the idea of a theme tune for our scene because if singing is evolved then I think that it over power and ruin the opening.
PowePoint abot current film distribution orgnazation
This Power Point that I have produced is a presentation that explains in brief detail the five distribution studios that I thinks are the most successful in my opinion. I have done the power point is because I wanted to use it as research.
