Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation activity 2

The actor Josh Tomlinson is very similar to the actor Matt Damon. They both have similar roles in the films they do, similar appearance and similar style.

Both actors have a similar appearance, strong tough looking, and not afraid to get hurt. they wear the same type of clothes as there roles in their films, tight T-shirts and rugged clothes. these characters in films are made so the audience is almost scared of them, but at the same time looks up to them and likes them as a characters. In action thriller movies, these characters are usually the main characters in the film, these characters are very popular to the audience.

These characters also have similar roles in the films they both do. The action tough guy. These films and these characters are very popular and have a very wide and broad target audience from teenagers to retired people.

But also the characters have their differences, like with their age, Matt damon is obviously alot older and that gives the film that hes in for example the 'Bourne Indentity' more realism, which is different for Josh Tomlinson as he is a teenager. Another thing that is different is that his background his different, Matt damon hes been brought up in America so his upbringing will be not the same as josh Tomlinson.

Pysical build is another where they are different, Matt Damon is alot taller than Joshua Tomlinson , and has a stereotypical action mans build.

In conclusion, Matt Damon and Josh Tomlinson are similar in some ways but different in others. I think josh Tomlinson made a convincing action man just like at likes of Matt Damon.

Feedback

My teacher said our draft needed a few improvements, these are such things as lighting, titles, music, and our actors.

The lighting was poor in our draft because we filmed late on in the day where it was starting to get dark, this cause our film to look really dark. Therefore the background of our film was to dark and towards the end of the film it was hard to see the characters.
From this point we have learnt that we need to film earlier on in the day, and the cameras make the scene look darker anyway.

Our titles in our draft had a few problems with them, for example we were told that they were plain and boring, we were told that we needed to make them stand out to play with some fonts to see what one had made the film look better and a font that would suit the genre.
With this feed back we looked a different fonts we had avalible to us and we picked a more unique and appealing font for our titles.

In our draft we didnt include any music so in our film you could hear the background noise of cars, people walking by, etc. So we were told that we would need something to cover it, but also to make sure the peice of music was perfect for our film.
We used the information we were given and we desided to look at some copyright free websites where we could get music pre-made for our film that didnt have a copyright on them. We also used the 'Garage Band' program on the mac computers so we made our own music for the film.

The actors we used in our draft film were the same age as us, this was easier to arrange and to get everyone together but in our film it didnt look right because sixteen year old lads wouldnt be handling valuable packages for someone. So our teacher advised us to try and get older actors to add realism to our film.
Using this advice we asked Will's dad if he would feature in our film along with some other adults.

Film Logo's.

This is good because, its bright and it draws attention from the audience. Its modern and it will appeal to the young target audience. This logo is bad because it doesnt fit in the genre of the film, its bright and colourful, action films are not related to these colours.

This is not good because, its boring, black, dull and not appealing. this would not appeal to the target audience. This is good because it fits in with the genre of the film, it looks like writing off a computer, this links with the film.

This logo is good because again, it fits in with style of the film. It looks modern, unique and effective, This logo is bad because it is a bit boring and doesnt appeal to the audience.

Synopsis

But the MI6 are on the chase and have had a tip of Simon Hiltons plan, so they arrange a transportation on the information to a safe location while the package is being transported in is intercepted by a hitman sent by Simon Hiton in an attempt to keep his freedom and to keep his illegal business running.
