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.
