Final Film Review

 

Feedback

• Not enough infomation for a film poster. Need sub title of 'Borc' in English
• Need infomation of the actors and camera crew.
• The comic book efect works. (Out Line Effect)
• Consistant with the film and goes with the house style.
• Idea of using freeze frame is working with the comic book effect.
• The scene where Kevin sitting on a chair should be used in the review. Also the point view shot could be used.

Film Poster Mock Ups

In these mock ups we tried to experiment with our skills such as effects and colouring. For the title we used the font 'Price Down' from the following site I downloaded the font on to photoshop. http://www.dafont.com/pricedown.font.

We took freeze frames from our movie and used it which was already edited in the film. We tried laying out the images and the title similarly like the game 'Grant Theft Auto'.

Finished Short Movie

We have called up the cast for the last time to make sure they are fully aware that we will be shooting the video tomorrow.

We have purchased our props for the film. They are: 2 Toy guns 2 Bottles of red food colouring 2 Toy knuckle dusters 1 Kitchen knife 1 Rope Price total= £11.57

We have booked the camera and the equipment needed for the 9th and we will start recording on the 11th of November.

Researching and Planning the Moving Image on Prezi

We used a editing program called Final Cut Pro to edit the shots of a film. We learnt how use the main features of the software, this has allowed us to gain experience and  it helped us so we can use this software in editing our own short film.

Case study 3: Transporter 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbh3CDBNIQA

The film “The Transporter” is an action film based on a guy who is very skilled in fighting and driving. The fact that he is professional at these skills he gains attention of others and they pay him to do many things including violence and crime.
The scene I will be concentrating in this film is the car scene. In this scene the camera shots are very effective and useful. The shots that are used are shot reverse shot and
 medium shot. This allows the audience to understand the dialogue between the two characters in the car. Also it creates suspense as the camera switches from one face to another rapidly.

The themes in this film are again about power and glory.
In this film it is not easy to relate to but oppositely imagine because the characters are very hero like. Again we see the power of the main character by him being unstoppable and fighting and chasing everyone. He winning the fights against other character allows the audience to see his power. We also see that this character gets dressed in suits and owns a high priced car just like Ezel showing us the power and status. The fact that when a fight scene occurs the camera shots are very fast. When the main character fights and defeats the other characters the shots change into a wide shot so the audience can see that the bad characters are on the floor (low status) and the main character is strong and non-touchable.

Case study 2: Turkish Soap - Ezel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeXqXiyVgw

A drama/soap called Ezel will be a very useful sauce for our short film. Ezel is a Turkish crime drama TV series that was initially broadcasted and is mainly about many groups of people creating conflict between each other.

In Ezel there are many scenes where characters get kidnapped and get kept hostage in a certain place. This is very important for us because the use of the location in the scene in Ezel is very effective. The fact that the location is dark and looks worn out give the unstable idea and it also gives the audience a good idea that the thing that they are doing is not right. The fact that the camera used establishment shot and pans around allows the audience to clearly see the location and see the mise en scene.  There are many characters in the scene creating suspense.

Also the other camera shots used are close up and medium shots to get a clear view of the hostage and the other characters.

The themes of this film are very similar to district 13 but this film is more serious. The themes in this movie are money and power. These themes are explored throughout the film and we see many times the difference between rich and poor.  The fact that the powerful characters are dressed in suits and the less powerful characters in casual clothes gives the audience the status of characters. For example the main character Ezel Did not have much power before and lived in a normal house with his mum, dad and brother(very stereo typical family). As the film goes on Ezel becomes rich and gains more power. His house changes and he decides he lives with his girlfriend with high priced cars and items. This is an archetype character. The objects and money Ezel gains represents the power and status. Towards the end of the movie Ezel dies and this is trying to give us a message that the evil way of gaining money and power always ends bad. This is a message to the audience. The themes in this film are again about power and glory.
