Our location overall

We created our film in two different location, they were both in Epsom we started off in great Tatenhams our first scene was in a shed at the back of a house. We did this because it made it look like the agent was in a dark dangerous room where he could not get out, this was a good idea because it meant that the audience emotions change. Although the garage was small we tried to give the impression that this was not the case and I think we succeed in portraying this. This location was easy accessible as we were able to catch a train to Epsom and then we were able to get the bus to our location this was quick and easy for us so the location worked well.
        We decided that we would do one of our scenes on Epsom Downs this was accessible and we used the exact same method to get to our location as we used to get to our previous location as the distance between the two was minimal. we used the downs for many reasons. We decided that this location would be a good place because it was a good location for an ogveral chase scene, there is a lot of room and there are many different places in the area where we would be able film different shots.

Institution research


Paramount was founded in 1912 and was called Famous Players Film Company, in 1914 it changed to paramount productions and from then on this is what it has been called. Many films have been released such as Shrek, Transformers, Indiana Jones and many more. It is consistently being ranked as one of the largest (top-grossing) film studios.




 Dream works animation is more recent than paramount as was founded in 1994 it creates high quality entertainment using animation, films have been released such as Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, The Croods and many more. The company aim to attract people all around the world


20th Century FOX is similar to Paramount but was founded after in 1935 this corporation was formed by merging two company's, Fox films and 20th Century Pictures. Many films have been distributed successful films such as The Simpsons movie, Ice age, X-men and many more.

non copyright music



We are thinking of using this music in our piece. It is going to be used for the end when they are shown to be at the Downs this music fits into our piece perfectly as it is very fast paced. the music changes throughout and changes when we have a change in scene. It builds tension and suspense throughout the film and it lasts for a good time so it ends with a good drop at the end of our film.
        In the end we decided that we were going to make our own piece of music we thought it would work better in our film and we thought that this music was not appropriate for what we wanted to do with our work.

Location

We decided that this is where we were going to film our bike scene, this was a fast paced scene on the moped and this is at Epsom Downs, this setting was good as we could create quality shots at the right angle. Using this setting meant that we were able to use the fast pace editing to build suspense and you are able to see the agent arrive on his bike.

Moped - prop

We decided that we should use a moped in our scene as this is typically what you would find in an action film. Using the moped meant that we were able to have fast pace scenes and it brought tension throughout the scene. We were able to use different shot types with the moped and it made the agent look more attractive.

Location

This is a picture showing where the main scene is going to be located. We decided on the location being in a car park because it meant we could get a good view and we would be able to have the moped enter the car park in style. the car park was a good location because it had some cars in the background which made it look like there were more people in the scene than there was.

Behind the scenes

This was a behind the scenes image showing a few of the characters getting ready to start the film. This shows us where the film is going to be set.it also shows what some of the characters are going to be wearing.

Shot 3-5




Shot 3-5 shows the scene when we are in the interrogation scene and the gun is up at Agent Sinclaires head the shots are mid length and we see all characters

Shot 6-7




Shot 8-10

Shot 8-10 are our fast paced scene. Our secret agent is on his bike and he is riding to get the the action totally unaware of what is going to happen with his friend who betrays him. the shots vary and we use different shot lengths to change the scene and make it seem more fast paced
