Questionnaire Q5

For this question we asked people wether they liked the action genre to be based on A normal citizen, Criminals, Agents or other. For this 10% chose other 20% chose a normal citizen 30% chose Criminals and the other 40% chose agents. I think they chose Agents and criminals because alot of action films are based on either Criminals or Agents which are usually extremely successful films, for example, James Bond.

Questionnaire Q4

Here we just had a basic Yes/No question asking wether they liked to have an action based film or not. The majority of the vote casted as Yes and a small minority said no. We have again taken this too account but we had already decided that our opening of our film will be action packed.

Questionnaire Q3

For this question we asked what type of style of fighting do you prefer. The most common answers were james bond and Jason bourne instead of sherlock Holmes and Jackie Chan. This gave us the idea that if we followed our film with James Bond then it should be favoured with the audience.

Questionnaire Q2

For this question there was only a choice of two answers; Urban and Rural. 20% said rural and 80% said Urban. We have also taken this into account and we are going to base the chase scene in a Urban area, but we are then going to perhaps the end of the scene in a field which will look fairly rural.

Questionnaire Q1

 

We decided to take the chase scene results into account and we are going to use it within our first opening two minutes. 

Original Script for our Film

The scrpit for our film is as follows:

We first see the hero following the villian down an alleyway. The villian keeps on turning around seeing if the hero is following him and he is. the villian then runs off and we see the flashback of what happened 2 minutes before:

Agent: Alright geezer, what you got in dat briefcase
Villian: Never you mind, cant stop ive got somewhere to be.

Agent puts his arm across to stop villian walking further.

Agent: I dont think so mateee, now hand over the briefcase.
Villian: Dont test my patience otherwise it could look nasty.

Agent: we can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice i would rather do it the easy way,   wouldnt you.

Villian: seriously im late now get out of way you prick

Agent swips his foot at the villian to put him on the deck and starts to beat him up. We then see a close up shot of the villian take out his gun and shoot the agent in the chest. The hero over sees this and calls out.

There is no dialogue for the next 45 seconds. The hero cathces up and holds a gun to the villian.

Hero: Oi stop, I know what you have done and I know whats in your briefcase, now turn around and hand it over.

Villain: No chance

Villian takes out his gun and holds it up aswell.

Hero: You dont need to this now come on drop the weapon.

Villain: No chance

The audience then see a close up of both people slowly pulling the trigger. The screen then goes black and we hear the sound of a gun in the background causing a cliffhanger.

Codes and Conventions for Action

Action:



The Codes and Conventions for Action are to have a discrete location like Indiana Jones. This is because it exites the audience as they could be on a long adventure coming across many tasks to do with killing. We can tell this as there are close up shots Of Indianas whip. There is normally a mysterious background noise in action films to keep the tension within the scrnr. As the scene moves on the music willnormally intensify to show that something dangerous might happen and so it keeps the audience glued to the screen.
In action films we normally see low angle shots on the villian at the start of the film to show that he is trying to be the leader of everyone and that he is in control. As the we move through the film, the camera angles will change and there will be low angle on the hero as he mormally saves the day and the villain loses.
The type of clothes that a villain would wear is smart as he wants to show that he is professiomnal in his job and that no one can knock him down. On the other hand the hero will have poorer conditioned clothes as he is trying so hard to get his goal that he cant keep on changing his clothes. We see this in Indiana Jones as he is always wearing an old ripped t-shirt until in the last few scenes where he had succeed, then he will change in to smarter clothes to show that he is now taken ober that control.
