View of the audience "X"

As far as the views of the general public seemed to be really positive views about our ideas on our film. However the criticism we got was that the fact that they could base their views on anything as we couldn't show the film to them as we haven't made it yet. Another thing that brought to our attention was the fact that our storyline was very complex with the ending being the opening title sequence and main part of this is how we got there. Within the group, there has been a realisation that the storyline, although a great idea would to be difficult to deliver on.

Filming finished and evaluated."X"

Our group has done the fillming,I was the lead camera man in the movie but i don't think so i did a good job,we did not have a tripod so my hand was shakikng thoo the editing that we done did the job for it.We have used a vairation of camera angles and shoots like : behind the shoulder when interrigation,worms eye view to show Max superiority,panning shoot to follow the action(mostly when Max was walking),zoom,and close up where used to focus atention.
Next we had to edit it so we blended it the shakines of my hand and done the credits and after that the job was nearly done.
Mise-en-Scene*Establishing shot: Dark black and wight dark windows unknown building and lit from below
*Slanted camera angel: puts you on edge used in the lift to make you feel uneasy
*Character: wearing official looking suit and a dodgy looking Russian hat. Shifty eyes gives the sense he is up to something.
*Low vantage point obscured by take give the feeling of hiding.
*Single light: Cant really make out that's in  the room.
*Where the point of view camera was is now where Bond is placed.
* The colours change from the simple black and wight to a brown tinge to show its from another time.
*They used a close-up to show the realisation that his gun is not loaded.
*To then flashes to Bond with a gun that then shots him and see a short shot of a family picture.
*Finally the classic Bond credits role.
The fun stuff was the scene where Max and David had to kick the door and when they did the man next door came and shouted for like 10 minutes.

Story/Sequence"X"

Opening Shot - CCTV camera footage, various streets views etc

First Scene
Hard as nails Private Investigator Bray (Max) walks through a federal building, slamming doors as he goes, walking toward his partners office. (Filmed from Low vantage points to emphasise dominance)

Bray gets to the office and takes a seat (dialogue exchanged about new intelligence)
Bartek enters, handing over the new intelligence on the case (with shot of just a little of the body no face). Then exits. Bray sifts through the papers quickly, and then exits the office, heading for the door.

Second Scene
Bray arrives at another building, entering a room where a girl sits on a chair.
He then proceeds to interrogate the girl tirelessly (various shots cut together to show time passing)
She eventually gives the right information.

Bray then sits in his office looking at various papers, looking tired and defeated. (In his head he is going over and over what the girl had said to him, we will actually put this on the sound track)
All of a sudden he has  moment of clarity, and jumps out of his seat.
He grabs the phone and punches the number in, screaming down the phone he orders for backup with plenty of ammo to meet him at a certain address immediately. (The scene ends with a shot of Bray slamming down the phone shot from next to the phone)

Third Scene
Cut straight from the last scene, and have some way to conect the last scene i.e bray getting up and getting his coat and walking out of the office and the sound of slamming van doors and the sound of a van driveing away giveing a link from the last scene to the next.   This next scene filmed from inside of a door we see bray kick down a door and say something ironic and funny taking the style of james bond and 24 etc. Then cut to the opening credits in a James Bond style.

Story bords"X"

Here are the storyboards that sets out what we are aiming to get from the filming. There is clear instructions in the storyline of the opring sequence and what effect we want from the filming and the storyline as its important that the transitions are clear so the viewer understands where the storyline is going. The most important transition is when detective bray goes from the office to the informed location in a hurry with back up to try and shut down the terrorist plot. 

In these shots it establishes the location and introduces the
main role walking to the office to talk with his partner 

Here bray has receved inteligence about a plot
 and forts through it to then go to his first leed.

In these shot you see bray interrorgating a suspct that has
conections to the terrorist ring. Bray puts all the evedence
together to try and sus where the ring is baced to take it out.



These are the last scenes of the opeing
 sequence with bray calling for
 back up rushing out to meet the team and finnishes with
bray kicking down the door of the hideaway.  

Planning"X"

The next thing was to do storyboard and the dialog,we spend 2.30hours on it and we came up with some good ideas for it,iam made a first par of the movie fillming the cctv and a police station for the movie.
It was quite hard cause i had to sign some papers and ask for promision.Our grop was raging cause they didnt beliewe me before(iam the black sheep).I have found another movie called unthinkable and its a 90% related to our movie.

Planning for the movie"X"

My team asked some people about the 2 min movie that we did,the answear was that they liked,this was not good enought because they might lie cause of mercy but some liked it but so the most important thing was to get some critisysim.Next we analysed some movies like Casino Royale and that corelated with our movie and some othere one like born Identity,Born Supremacy and Enemy of the State we analysed them like the camerea angles and movments the props and genre so we analysed them and all of them are thriller and some hybrids of thriller and action.

Raging..."X"

After the editing we had to fininsh out planing for the next thing so we worked realy hard,argued a bit but we planed it quite nicely and in addition we wathed some movies to evalute the thing and i have done a poster/cover for out movie:

i have done it on photoshop and used the pictures form the movie using printscrean oprion on the keyboard.

Next"X"

After we done the 2 minutes video we had to plan things out for it like related movies.We have watched some movies(mostly opening sequences)after that we wrote about those things.
This is a movie trailer that relates in a way to our thing:This is caalled SGA:Vegas

This is a movie that relates partialy to our thing but it contains some Syfy things like an alien but our things is a bit supernatural as well especialy the rezurection of me after the gun shot.

Over it..."X"

We done the movie that lasted 2 minutes and we saw it and liked it very much.After that the thing to do was to edit it(special effects and erassing the un-wanted scenes)After that we had to research some more about it and relation to other movie or tv shows.In the editing section we had to use iMovies i could not used because my team didnt let me to do it,and i dont know how to use it.Iam the most creativ person in the team so iam doing posters and props.

Get into it..."X"

Well every one of our group had to do research about the story related things like:Lie to me is an American television series that premiered on the Fox network on January 21, 2009.In the show, Dr. Cal Lightman and his colleagues in The Lightman Group accept assignments from third parties , and assist in investigations, reaching the truth through applied psychology: interpreting microexpressions, through the Facial Action Coding System, and body language.There was one more named stargate atlantis episode:VEGAS where they investigated a murder,this is similar to our movie that we did and had a scene with interigation too.
The othere things are like costumes and props: I have brought demolished cloths to look like after a fight,Max brought rope to tie me and a suit to look like the interigator.

The Thinking

One lesson our group got togethere and we begun brainstorming things like:
Diner,comming form work being tired,negotiation(max idea)and my idea came out of the blue and i said what about interigation(moment of quiet)and then they said they liked it and we where going to do it.Out group was doing the interigation,but now we had to brainstorm on it as well,we came up with a terrorist interrigation and guess what i'm the terrorist(it does not fit me)Max was the interrigator perfect fit and david the cameraman.Next thing we did was to do a story line and we had no problem with it and we done it quickly.So we did that and an genre of that was a action and thriller a hybrid genre movie(this means that the movie is a combination o two genras)Thriller not so hard to do but Action thats another things so we thought of the good sides and the bad ones too.
The Good Things:

• Attention given
• Won't be boring
• Atractive
• Loads things going on
• Complex

The Bad Things:

• Complex
• Loads of work
• Hard to edit the action.
