Case study 1: D13 U - District 13 Ultimation
District 13 is an Action, sci - fi, thriller which shows the social problems such as violence, drugs and organized crime have overrun the poorer suburbs of Paris and especially a Banlieue commonly referred to as ghetto with a population of some two million. Unable to control B13 the authorities construct a high wall topped by barbed wire around the entire area forcing the inhabitants within to survive without education, proper utilities or police protection behind the containment wall.
The themes in this film are crime and violence/fighting. The themes are very imaginary and hero like. The theme of fighting is explored throughout the film. The fast cutting and the fighting scenes creates a theme of violent. The fact that the non-diegetic sound is a soundtrack allows the audience to be in a excited mood.
The characters in the film are very hero like. The main character in this movie is a free runner which can fight and take on any one (which this is very imaginary) and the idea that his a free runner portrays that his untouchable. Also this character meets up with a partner who also is very strong and untouchable. Again it gives the audience the idea of hero like behaviour. The changing shots portray the fast action in the movie.
The structure of this movie is very similar to the idea of our short film. The fact that there is a lot of action and violence this may allow us to understand the camera shots we need to use in our action based movie. Also in this movie there is a character running away from others this also relates to our scene where the hostage gets away. For example in District 13 the character that is running away jumps over a car the shots they have used are Medium , Cut away , and Worms eye view shot. These are the shots we will be using for our getaway scene. This movie mainly will help us with the shots and the acting of the characters. Shots used are Medium, Cut away , and Worms eye view shot.
