Evaluation- Q3

The genre of our movie is Action, using this, our movie based in London, the story being about gang members in London, so to capture our audience we would prefer for the production company to be British as well, to show and produce our movie.
Linking to genre and looking at possible choices as a production company, it would be 'Working tittle', they are a company that should be able to cater fro our needs and show to the type of audience we are looking for.
The films that 'Working tittle' distribute and produce are Horror, Action, Drama, Teen, Romance but they do not as full count into for a movie for the family, most of the time.

Movies produced by working tittle include are; Hot fuzz, Green zone, Johnny English and robin hood. These are just some of the movies and categorised in our genre, Action.
Green zone a good movie to compare, doe also include a chase scene , just like our movie.
In comparison to our movie you see in our movie that a gang member is chasing after a ex-gang member this is in show with Matt Damon who finds out that he is working with a group, that he shouldn't be with. This is in comparison with a gang member who leaves a gang, who finds that he is with the wrong sort of people. The ex-gang member being chased by gang members and Matt Damon being chased by the group he leaves. Both being chased because of leaving the groups.

Film feedback

These are all the feedbacks from the other groups:

Overall i think that feedback is consise and it does really help for us to se ehwere we need to improvue although most of the feedback is positive, threre were only one or two people who saw that we could add/change to add to the overall film, we saw where we could change a part in our movie and so acted on the consise feedback that we got and needed.

Opening Sequence- Rundown


This is our final movie, that we have placed on Youtube as well, we made this movie in a group of 3 consisting of; Ashad, Shehryar(me) and lastly Vithush. Overall our movie has taken us about a month, throughout this time period we have accomplished and learnt a lot including; Camera work/shots, Editing, Directing, Sound, Storyboarding and many other points as well. The processes that we started with looking into making this movie were; location, the actual story, actors, timing for when to shoot and when to edit.

Starting off with camera, i guess that we took around two days and a few hours every day. From the start we had planned to try out a range of different shots for multiple scenes, trying to get the best out of the camera work, also we planned to work as fast as possible while shooting. Once we saw we had enough footage, we went straight on to Final cut, this brings us to editing.
The editing stage is where, we spent the most time, which was in a way necessary as well, we felt that editing will get our movie to best of our abilities, but, there was a problem we were new to the programme and had absolutely no experience in Final cut, although we faced this problem, but due to us finishing the shooting considerably quickly, we were able to use trial and error, also with a little guidance form Michael-technician, we have achieved some pretty good editing. We did face a problem or two with the editing because of some change, but had overcome this problem with a bit of thought and guidance.

A brief description of the storyline, it is that of a ex-gang member that is being chased by a current gang member who had been snitched on. The overall movie is then situated around these two strong, main characters on this and the actual overall chase. The genre in this movie would be classed in action. The reason for this will be because of our fast paced theme, which is shown throughout and shown through the intense chase scenes, also due to our special cliff hanger ending which involves a blackout and a gun shot, leaving a very large question for the viewer to answer.

Overall i am actually very pleased about  the outcome of our Opening sequence. Even whilst having ups and downs throughout i felt that we have accomplished a lot. Having said myself i think we have made a very nice opening sequence including, a good range of shots, good lighting, costumes, actors, story, location lighting could have been better, good editing and a good ending.

Progress of the group and the movie

We have got very close to the end in our editing and all, with the movie, I feel we have all worked well as a group and that this is one of our many strengths.

Also the reason for us getting far and so quickly is that we had finished the filming quite quickly and it went to plan; we planned the days to meet, which suited us all, two days of 3hours and another day dedicated to finishing any of the shots missing. This has given us the edge to editing, giving us much more time for editing which is said to be one of the most important parts of making the movie.

More time to edit is also good as then we can get it to the best of our standards in relation to editing, we have basically finished the movie and any slight erorrs that we may see even if minor, we will edit and improve to make it to near perfection and the past few lessons we have been doing just that.

Throughout we have had good times and bad times but have overall worked well, mostly good times, we have had disagreements but have solved the problem, another thing for us is that most of the things, discussed or ideas brought up, we do agree with one another and always add to it all giving suggestions and each one of us has some sort of talent whether it be: a good eye whilst editing, good camera skills, or just a guy who keeps the group together and productive, these are some of the qualities we put towards the making of the movie.

Own Initial Idea for consideration for group

Own Initial Idea

The group was at first struggling to come up with a idea, but i though instead of going straight to the idea, why not think of a tittle and then maybe go through it that way, to basically expand on the title, we did then tthink of a few and finally the title as thjought of it was 'The Chase', from this title we expanded the idea, so the idea is a chase with two main characters; a man who has just got out from prison and he is after revenge for the other character getting him into prison, this then is a part of the basis to our story and just from this idea of getting the title, I feel is one of the things which lead to our movie being made/recorded. 

Spooks 2:33-opening

-The opening of Spooks starts with the production company it is a black faded out and a white company logo comes up followed up by a tranisition of a girl.
-We see she is skipping and the next thing we realise is the clever shot and that mode is slow paced as tthe shot is in slow motion, leave her out of the scene we move with a fast zoom past a few obstacles the camrea gives us a pov shot.
-Entering the gates which leads to the next shot being inside the house, the women walks in with the first speech calling a name.
-The next scene we see the back of two people all dark, giving us a straight sense of what type of people they are, then having subtittles adds to the effect as they dont speak english, we have a clever shot with the adjustment of his ear piece and we see a ring a prop that can help for us to understand what kind of character he is.
-We then track her in the house like the sense they two other people gave of tracking her, following where she is moving but only with the hands, then we hear non-diegetic sound most likely of music.
-We keep up wiht the conversation in the house with an arrival of teh second character and we now see the two sitting in the car have hidden identities, but we establish one is a women because of teh lips and the feminine voice.
-We are finally revealed to the identity of the two in the car, the other are revealed to be coupled and the phrases said in the car lead us too other thoughts of what might be happening.
-After the speech in the car has stopped tense music arises and is building as they look in the mirror and are trracking the man and the women, we now follow what the other two were looking at.
- We are back at the overview shot of where the people are going from the house everything with their hands, we notice the shots are in slow motion again and the music is still loud we hear diegetic sound of the car and the lighting throughout is a normal London morning day with natural lighting, after closing the door we hear a non-diegetic sound maybe showing that they are going quickly.
-Clevelry we then realise where all the shots started and past the big, black, atention seeking car, we are back where to where it all began.
-With nearly all the shots with the people in the black car, their faces are shown with a closeup and again we see it with a closeup of the emotions in the faces of the people while they speak, to end it all of we see a grayscale of the people which is a very powerful technique used to show various things such as anger, revenge, with these sort in mind straight after this the normal Spooks start begins.

The Mummy

Could not get hold of the actual video so have posted a link: http://openingsequences.blogspot.com/

-The opening of the movie starts with the Universal, this does not have the traditional, soundtrack for Universal and instead has the tense build up music for the movie.
-The transition of the Universal globe it turns in to the sun, which works well and is effective transition
-The transition shot truns into a shot where the place is configured, we see pyramids and old egyptian buildings instantly telling us where it is set, in Egypt.
-The shot is pan and helps us to Establish the whole area and as we go past we see little things moving, puts in a place to assume they are humans and at that point we hear people and also a dog.
-As soon as the establishing and panning is over we close up to a horse and a man, we then hear a voice as well, which is a narrator.
-The main character is established and by using a narraator he is also introduced, the next character is his mistress, who is seen with the head turn, she walks in, again the palace where she walks in from is established, she is then followed in by the camera, upto the point of when they both meet.
-The camera moves back to the door she came in from and we see a third main character, the door is shut from behind.
-The first & second main character for some reason we are not sure of yet is killed and were warned by the narrator before "for their love they were willing to risk life itself.
-The music used from when she enters is all majestic and passionate manner, also if this is compared to the entrance of the third character the music shown is loud drums and a loud horn these sounds are non diegetic sounds but the door sounds moving and lound bangs are most likely diegetic sounds.
-The sounds from after the killing of the thrid mian character, we hear lound bangs as the door is being forced open, giving us the sense of alert and um a thought of who is trying to come in also we have an idea why, due to the third person be killed.
-We see what lokos like an army with another main character, walking in forcing the doors open, we see the slaves of the first main character take him away and talking of the first and second characters n Egyption most likely saying to go, run away. Meduim shots are used quite a bit we have a shot at where the emotion of the womens face are shown as the first character is leaving and it is her love and then we see the army people storming in over her shoulder.
-The army storms in and straight away we see her turn to them she says something to them as they discover the third main character is dead on the floor, she kills herself.
-As soon as she is in the process of killing her self the shot changes to behind the covers and next door with a close up we see both characters again, the pain  on his face this time where she kills her self.
-Used teice in just a 3 minute clip we see that, when their is a death happening, killing is on progress the camera moves towards others shows their emotions as well being able to see the people killing themselves but only their body shape, basically a shadow of them behind a cloak, this is very clever and useful trick.
-This then is lead to a blackening of the shot and is cleverly moved to the night shot where it is also black and then faded back in where we some lights in the distance.
-Except from the ending we see that the lighting is all at dusk with the odd dark spots but mostly with the characters all being lit up and luminent with the hint of yellow tint because it can be said as a symbolic colour of those times and we also see the flame torches lit up around all around.
-The sound consisted in the movie is a wide range with diegitic and non-diegetic, also the shots used are normal shots but used very well that you dont even realise while watching, the transitions used are also clever and effective, the costumes are realistic of those times and do show the wealth and status of the person, also there where some items included such as; swords, daggers, carts, neckalces, bracelets, head band, statues, earings, pillars, tombs, bed, helmets, body armour, paintings, decoratins, tattoo's, and rings.

Main points:-
-Starts off with blonde hair being brushed and stroked.
-The music's lyrics are on this perfect day it is a girly song with main
-Straight away the wole movie is real based over the tittle and this is proved in the first minute
-There are two contrasts switching between someone who seems to be getting ready and someone who is riding in some perfect looking place, we find out it is an envelope being being forwarded
-Also throughtout the whole movie in the opening the text of all the characters and the tittle are in a pink highlight and are in a girly font with swirls and hearts.
-The props used are all to do wiht college and girls and a lot of flowers, these are also used as a transition at one point 1:38
-The transitions leads to what seems like the other person who is getting ready and to her table where the camera pans the through the items she may have used
-The person with the card is now followd with the camera tracking, and then back to the table and then back to the card where the card is signed which is giving a bit of a hint for who the card is for
-The person getting ready now we see a banner for what she is getting ready for which is homecoming queen
-Claver tracking is made after the people downstairs have signed she moves up while you can tell the person going to homecoming is nearly ready as putting perfume, where its usually spayed near to the end of you being ready
-Then after all the signing and for the card to be finally passed on where it is given maybe a kiss as a good luck and the card is passed under the door, the camera follows over the door to track the letter
-Straight as this letter is passed you hear a bark and then the girl speaking, you straight away realise that there is merely any speech throughout the opening of the sequence
-The dog species is a chiwawa a dog mainly owned by girls and it is showing the type of movie and character, also the dog takes the letter and is tracked by the camera and passes the letter to the girl comes off the phone and takes the letter from the dog.
-The girl send a blow heart and this tracked as if it actually their when its not and is followed to the person we are revealed to a guy in a frame who is obviously then shown to be a crush or a date.
