Evaluation task 1

Our film is called Alliance because in our film the groups of agents build different alliances. constantly throughout the film the different alliances get broken. The characters betray one another, this is what our film is based on. The relationships and how friends betray each other in order to make themselves more powerful.  The title 'Alliance' poses the audience with a number of different enigmas to consider such as: who is in Alliance? What is the plot in? Who is betrayed? and who do we side for? 
        Our film title is placed at the end of the opening two minuets. We decided to do this because when people decide to start watching the opening they wonder what it is all about. Then they decide to carry on watching it as they are gripped and want to know the name of the film. The film name works really well at the end because when the audience see the film name it will make them want to see the whole film.
        The text is plain white with a black background. this is because we did not want something that is to over the top as that may ruin the film this font is big, bold so that it makes the audience understand more about the film being a secret agent film. The text also is not too much meaning people may want to find out more about what is going to happen next.



Our production credit is JAK productions we decided to call it this because it is the first letter of each our names Jack Nunn, Kieran Hosking and Alex Morgan. We decided that if we were going to use the first letter of our names then we should make it sound like an actual word and JAK sounds like JACK and this is one of our characters so we thought that it would make sense to call our production credit JAK.

        The credit is placed right at the start of the film. JACK productions shows the audience the production company. We decided that placing it at the start would make the audience think more about the film being good as the production company is well known

        We did not want to make the production company colors and text too over the top because then it may look a bit too much for the audience and may mislead them. Also having the text a plain color looks professional and makes the audience get the impression that our film is going to be about something serious.  We chose to use white capitals in bold on a black background because it made it look conventional and made the production company seem more important. 

       



In our film we placed text with the characters names on the shot, when each new character appeared there name would appear. The text would come up in different ways but each way reflected on the scene and the character. We made sure that the entrance of the name fitted in with the music because otherwise it would not look professional. We had three different types of text that arrived, the first would be the start of the character’s name, second would be there surname and finally their whole name. We did this because we thought that it would bring more tension to the scenes and make them look a bit more interesting  

        The text was a plain color because in an action film you do not want to have bright colors as it contrasts with the scene and looks very unprofessional. Also having the text bold and big makes the scene look more like an action film as our characters are posh we want the text to link into the idea of having a high status setting it also will link into the idea of a man in a suit as this would also be classified as being high status.

In this scene we decided to edit it so that we had two different shots of it. This was done so that the audience see the agent with the Intel throwing it under the bin. From this angle you get the impression that someone is looking down on him and about to hurt him. This shot was put here so that in shot 2 we see the character getting hurt by another character but using a different shot. The second shot was used so that we can see the agent getting beaten up but from a better angle this angle shows us the characters facial expression and shows us who is hurting him so we feel for the agent. The editing on this scene makes the audience feel for the agent and makes the scene flow quickly so show the idea of fast pace editing. Fast paced editing is one of the reasons our film flowing so smoothly because without it it would not have seemed like an action film.  If we were to film this sequence again we could have made sure than when we shot this we did a load of different shots on the same day because we had to re film it and the two clips were from two separate days.

This is our fast pace scene we made sure that all scenes fit together so that it looks like a fast scene where all the scenes link together also we wanted this scene to build tension and show that our secret agent is a hero. This scene will make the audience feel for the agent and want him to succeed in his mission. The shots are all different and they all link together to look like he is traveling at speed This scene was placed in this part of the film because it flowed and fitted in well with the rest of the opening. A fast paced scene opens the film well and shows the audience what they are in for.

The costumes our characters wear reflect on the role they have in the film the costumes our characters are wearing show us the genre of the film and make the audience understand what type of people the characters are. most of our characters wear suits and some have other props to make them look more intimidating. none of the characters change costumes in the start as we believe that a secret agent always wears a suit.

This scene shows a transition and a change in setting. Although you cannot see the scene in this shot the transition. we used this white change to show this clearly that it is a new scene and that the setting is about to change. We used this color for the transition because it shows the audience clearly that a flashback is going to happen. Timing the transition had to be do to show a clear change in time and to show the flash back in a clear and unique way. I think this works well in the piece because it makes you feel like you are traveling back in time with the characters and make you want to be there with them.

This is our opening to the film. This opening sets the scene and shows us who the main character is because you see him in the center of the shot. The shot is of our main character in trouble. Having or main character placed on his own at the start of the film makes the audience realize who the main character is and it sets the scene. You can instantly notice what the film is going to be about and this shows the stereotypes of a action film. We put this here because it makes the audience instantly feel sorrow for this character making them instantly understand who this character is and they realize he is going to be the hero in the film as he is in trouble but is shown to be stuck. We were tempted to start off with a chase scene but we thought that this would not create an atmosphere.
