Our Film: Actors

In our film, we have chosen to do a action/thriller opening scene. The advice we got from our class feedback was to, use adult actors as it would make the scene look more realistic and professional, but we may have to use our class mates which obviously the same age as us (16). This would decrease the amount realism that we could have in our film.

Films Opening

This opening is an action/thriller genre and is from the film triple x. It uses an interesting kind of music (rock/heavy metal) which is fast moving which matches the opening chase. The same as the Saw 3 opening it uses dark colour and is lighten by lamps etc only. I think Music And Scene are the most important thing to get right in a thriller. At the start of these openings there is usually a mystery.

Films Opening

This opening is from James Bond 'Casino Royale'. It uses sound to build up tension like all the thriller openings i've seen. It also uses an enigma code at the start when bond chases the enemy. The mystery of this is why bond is chasing this bad guy and what he wants with this guy. At the end of the opening we find out he wants the guys bag, and it actually finishs bond opening his bag, this is a great way to end an opening as it encourages an audience to watch on.

Lutterworth Film Locations



The image above is not a good location for a film because it is to narrow, and also it will be diffecult to film on because of the lack of space around the concrete.







The positives about this picture is that it has alot of space to film different angles to get the best possible results, also this alley way has motor access for the motorbike we are planning to use. One negative of this alley way is that it is near a lot of houses so we may get complaints about the noise we are making.




The possitives about this alley is that it has the urban touch that we are trying to achieve, it also has space to achieve good camera shots. One negative is that it may be hard to ride the motorbike down this alley.



This alley way has a lot of potential because it has an urban touch, also we could do a range of different shots because of this our end product will look better. A negative of this is that it is a popular walkway so it may be hard to keep continuity because we will have to keep pausing shots.
