Researching Music

This is the website 'freeplaymusic.com' that we used to search for music. This particular picture is us researching different music that would fit the scene where Monroe is hitting some boxing pads. We are currently looking at various fast-paced music that we can add tou our film introduction.

These are screen shots of the opening titles from the film 'Spider-Man 2'.

This MARVEL film originated as a comic and was made into a film by 'Marvel Enterprises/Laura Ziskin'. Because it was originally a comic the people who designed it used this in the titles.

All the writing has a 'comic' theme and it looks ad though it's flicking through one. The images are from different scenes from the previous film. This reminds the audience of what happened last time just before they see the next one.

The colours are constant and it runs smoothly. I personally think these credits are really good because they're not just names on a screen; it gives you information as well. It's something to watch as well as read.

Why did we choose the characters we did?

Janet Monroe
We based this character on the women we’ve seen in the previous films that have been the protagonist. We liked the idea of it being a woman for a change. We also wanted there to be something different about our film, something that everyone else wasn’t already doing.

Brian
As we don’t see a lot of him at the beginning of our film it is not clear if he will be in anymore of it if it was to go into further production. The characteristics are not thought out as much. This particular character was chosen because out of the three robbers we needed a ‘leader’.

Phil and Gary
Phil and Gary are pretty similar characters and like Brian, are not as well thought out as much, for the same reason. We chose these characters so they can accompany Brian. The three are part of a bigger picture, that being part of a ‘gang/group’.

‘Get-A-Way Driver’ (Gavin)
Adding this extra character shows the audience that there is more to this film than just a robbery. It adds depth to the plot. Also, it makes it look more professional and not “done by kids”. It makes it look more technical, thought out and like a lot of effort has gone into it. (This bit being about the land rover and Gavin)

What Someone From Our Target Audience Would Be Like.

EVALUATION: Challenging The Conventions

One way in which our group challenged the conventions was by making the main character, firstly a woman and secondly by the characteristics she has.
She's not your average, stereotypical woman. She's a specially trained agent that is no longer in the line of work. She lives on her own, works 9-5 and regularly goes to the gym to work out. This challenges the conventions because she is the opposite of a traditional woman. Her independence would come through ore if we produced a longer length film.
A traditional convention of an action films, that I've noticed from watching previous ones, is that the very first shot is normally an establishing shot where you can figure out the location and see the scene. It might introduce a few characters or sometimes none at all.In ours, however, we jump straight in to the action. This engages the audience automatically. They'd want to know what is happening and why. We did this because it makes a change to the traditional conventions. We wanted to do something different that the audience might not expect.

Problems With The First Draft of Our Film?

When we got the footage back and on to the laptop we could see that the lighting could be a bit of an issue. Outside we only had the street lamps to light our shots and inside we only had a torch. It was nearenough pitch black. What er decided to do was have the actors switch on a lamp as they where 'burgling' the house. Also, a light was switched on as the key action scene was captured so that we could see the characters.
Because of these...
