Analysis of different aspects in our opening 2 minutes of the film EVALUATION 3

Media Institutions:

There are many types of media institutions. These are Universal, Warner Bros, 20 Century Fox, Sky and many more.

We decided to go with Universal as they have released films present and in the past that our similar to ours and so we thought this would be the ideal media institutions to go with. A film that has been released by Universal is Fast and Furious 6 (May 14th 2013).

This is a very popular film hence that's why they have made 6 films but this film can be related to ours. Both films have action and adventure within them with deals taking place and fight scenes are regularly happening.

Another film released by Universal that is similar to ours is Robin Hood (2010). This once again is similar as there is lots of fighting and action but also a lot of drama and cliff-hangers.

Other media institutions like Warner Bros and 20th century fox did release films similar to ours but we all decided to go with Universal as we believe its more popular meaning that it can gain more publicity and that there are more films released within Universal similar to ours.

 

 

Film production mark

Film production mark after moderation is 36. The title of your film is great, but then the titles don't continue - you need titles for actors, editor, producer, director (in this order). You could also use music in the background to create suspense. Fiddling with these two aspects could improve your mark

Analysis of different aspects in our opening two minutes of the film EVALUATION 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
I am comparing Aaron and James Bond



Task 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups

There are many similarities but also many differences between Aaron and James Bond.

The similarities are that they both have the same appearance as each other. This means that they are both looking very serious in the shot, so it shows that they are focused. Also they both trying to solve a problem which in Aaron's case is to stop Ryan from running away with the baggage. The camera angle and the fading in and out is both the same. As you can see the picture is clear on both of their faces and so this could suggest that the camera is trying to attract to their emotions where as down the picture the image start to become blured which adds effect to the scene. Another similarity is that they are both the main characters within there film and that they always try to make themselves look the best meaning that in our film Aaron is the most smartly dressed as is James Bond in his film.



The differences between the two of them are that are that James bond is in a full suit compasred to Aaron where he is wearing a hoodie underneath and so the audience will feel that they are not much a like. Another difference is that they are from different backgrounds. Aaron is russian born and works for Russian governemt  (KGB) where as James bond is English born and works for the MI6

Analysis of different aspects in our opening two minutes of the film

 

 

The title of the film:

In the middle image we see the title of the film shown in bold capital letters to intice the audience in to the film. We can also get an idea of the location as you can see it clearly in the background which means that it can be linked in the setting and location area. 

 

Setting/ location

In the second image we see Ryan standing on his own with Aaron holding a gun up to him in the background we see a lot of trees and a river nearby to suggest that this location is very discrete and this was an ideal area for the deal to be taking place. It gives the audience a real idea of what the surrounding setting are like.

 

Costumes and props

In the last image we see Ed holding a briefcase. This gives us and the audience the intension that this breifcase if the main prop for the film and that this object could decide who dies at the end e.g. there could be an explosive bomb inside or some sort of weapon. The audience will never find out. 

 

 

Camerawork and editing

In image 6 we see Ryan walking off in to the distance with the briefcase in his hand. We can see that the image is slighlt faded and discolured compared to the others. This is because this scene is where the film is coming out of the flashback and in to the real life scene again which suggest a lot of editing has been done to get that image like that.

 

 

Title font and style

In the seventh image we see a picture of Aaron crouching down. As we can see there is his name above his head. As you can see the writting is quite large and clear to see but looking back we should have made all the letters capitals so that we can keep the font and style the same as the title.

 

 

Story and how the opening sets it up

 In the opening scenes we see a deal taking place between Ed and Ryan. this suggests that the film is action and that from that point on wards there could be a lot more fighting a chasing taking place. By doing a deal it excites the audience as something dramatic can occur but also leave them bemussed as they are desperate to know what content is on the disc and whats in the briefcase.

 

 

Genre and how the opening suggests it
In screen shot 8 we can see an image of Ryan running over a bridge away from Aaron chashing him behind. This gives the audience an immediate effect that the film is action as it has chase scenes, fighting and deals taking place.

 

 

How characters are introduced

In the 3rd image we see a picture of Ed with his name written above his head. This is how we introduce all of the characters within the film and they are always in the shot when introduced. We decided to carry on with the large and bold font that we used in the title as it stands out and really tells the audience who is within the film.

 

 

Special effects

In the fourth images we see Ryan firing a gun with a flash at the end of it. This suggets that there has been a lot of editing done to it but mainly that it is a special effect that the audience wont expect until they see it. Looking at others and their films we didnt see many flashes or gun sounds and so by doing this, it is slightly different. The timing with the sound and flash is perfect and so it will look like the bullet was actually shot.
