Evaluation Task 3 Script

1)  Discussion of your production company name and logo and the role of such companies
A) = Production company's consist on developing a animated opening of there company's name and iconic style. They tend to pay the coasts for production to take place with actor, set, props, technology funds and organisation of the film. Not only that it fits in with the theme of the film showing what type of  genre their films. e.g. Bad robot makes sci-fi and thriller films we know this due to the animated red robot on there logo along with the grass field back ground with dark stormy weather about to cast over the evening sun and a scratch font they use shows supernatural look.
They have made films such as the Mission Impossible series, Stark Trek (recent versions), Clover field (first person giant monster attack on New York) also have assisted in the new Star Wars 7 Force Awakens showing they are still in the new and invest not only in single chapter sci-fi thrillers but also  in mega blockbusters



2) What does a production company do?
A) = They handle all the budget and preparations for the filming to take place and make a big plan of how to execute the structure of their product e.g. The lead production crew will come together and invest into a major brand of film universe or hire those with ideas to a film, once they got there product they start getting in contact with a writer for scripts/story and a director plus assistants (which would be technicians and costume make up design and employees that contact places to use as film sights)  to make the template of  what to bring, where and  when to film then assign casting for this level of production employment place the responsibility of getting the film organised and kept to a schedule if done right.

Final Choice:

Although Bad Robot was a great example in the end we decided to go for film 4 because it is British based (from united kingdom) and love to fund small movie projects that make them bits of profit and they tend to go with new original idea's that are less CGI and theatrical.

Evaluation Task 2

They both fit into the youth (but come across as a young offender style group) for both as both protagonist and antagonist represent the hooligan look, the sorts of kids that grow up with failed parents or have suffered from loss at a young age that influences there actions towards society and the people of a higher status than them. The Criminal on the left show more of the criminal look trying not to be identified by wearing a  masked and is obviously out to cause trouble. Whereas Sam (from kid/adult hood) goes more for the respect in the young criminal offender look showing his face to make sure people know who he is and what he is capable of (trying to earn respect).

Running Criminal- When we brain stormed our ideas of a film we had a youth themed idea to make easy to distribute our casting of who we would play. So we had a hooligan themed idea where two youths (teenagers) would committee a crime in a local area (roughly a run down looking area) in order to get noticed and respected in gangs but it back fires in the process as a local off duty policeman spots them while the crime is in progress, The running criminal is ultimately the main criminal who diverted the police officer away from his friend in order for him to escape show no remorse in the way he is and will not stop in the name of the law for he believes what he did was not wrong but thinks society is unfair and is just trying to make a living to survive on a daily basis in the underworld (criminal world).

Sam form kid/adulthood as a criminal character his actions are out of not pure as he is shown as a more dark characteristic in the film for he is trying to earn his respect too but does this in a way through gang's supply and demand. We used his characterisation as a template to get audience's instantly to be thinking as to what makes the mind like that tick? what influenced him to do what he does? and is he another one of society's monsters or is he striving for greatness but in the process has to do dirty work first to get where he wants to go? The group Sam hangs round with changes through out various scene's some are more relaxed and settle due to post events where as some have gotten too deep in the criminal under world that they themselves are apart of that world and Sam is always torn between doing the right thing (Family influenced) and the wrong thing (Friends influenced)

shot list in filming project

Shots-

Arc shot: 360 view to show a characters body language and can also be used for a establishing shot (location of the scene ideal 1 and 3).

Close up: Used to show facial expressions e.g. scene 3-interrogation scene showing the criminal being nervous (shifty eyes) and the seriousness in the officers eyes or can be used to show the focus of characters e.g. scene 1 criminal notices an object he wants to steal.

Long shot: Used to show the action from afar e.g. scenes 1 and 2 when the criminal is finding a way to break in or used to show the speed in the chase.

Medium shot: Used to show communication in scenes 1 the break in and scene 3 interrogation.

Deep focus shot: Used in scene 1 for the cop noticing the crime in progress and can also be used if the cop comes to a part of the forest in scene 2 where he needs to locate the criminal.

Dolly zoom: Scene 1 used when the criminal is looking around the room for a specific item of value.

Low angle shot: At the start of scene 1 it can be used for the criminal out side the house he is about to rob and is used to show his over powering stance.

Lock down shot: Is used as the camera position in scenes 1 and 2 to show the outside of the house while the criminal is finding a way in or is used as a way to show the lock of the camera in the forest (if we get a good route in one of the forests).

Over-shoulder shot: Can be used through out all scene e.g. the start with the cop approaching the crime scene in scene 1 or the tracking position of the camera in scene 2 and the conversation in scene 3.

POV shot: It is used in Scene 2 while the chase scene happens it shows the prospective of the obstacles both criminal and cop it also shows the cops focus on the parkour and routes the criminal takes in order to gain speed to catch up or end the chase whereas the criminal focus is on the routes he needs to take in order to get away or get the cop into a tight spot where he can give him the slip (loose his trail).

Tracking shot: Scene 2-used to keep track of chase for the side and tracking as they go past or used to show the follow of the chase.

Two-shot:Scene 3- criminal and cop are both in the frame (could be used in one of the last shot when the criminal says the line that ends the scene).

Whip pan: Scene 2 once in forest and  the cop has lost the trail but is determined to catch the criminal he then comes out of the tree line or shows him coming from high level then turns his head toward the criminals direction and whip pans over to criminal who has just turned or is catching his breath to look back and noticed the cop from  low level and the cop has seen him and is back on his trail.

understand of characters on a film title

character shown in the video are of a horror film but with the sound track of a TV series known as the walking dead.

character 1) Shiloh Fernandez- the actor plays one of the main protagonists who is seen as brave bold and has a plan to keep everyone alive  and is most likely to  be the last to die or beats the evil

character 2) Jane Levy yet again another protagonist who starts off wimpy then builds up inner strength to over come the evil or die trying most likely second last to die and is emotionally attached to Shiloh Fernandez's character.

character 3) Lou Taylor Pucci- His character is the nerd the one brainy of the bunch and comes up with theories on how to survive or how this evil has happend but he is bad at surviving due to having to wear glasses (hazard in case of running away) and physical appearance may get him killed in the process or he so smart for thinking about ways of getting out of trouble that he stands in the wrong place at the wrong time.

character 4) Jessica lucas- character is shown as the brave female one who mainly focuses on her and another which could lead to consequences
