Evaluation Activity 3

We used 2 types of film industries in our opening 2 minutes to give it the more effective action genre feel and impact on the audience. These two were Warner Brothers and Walden Media.

This is one of the opening titles that we used in the opening minutes of our film, Warner bros. produce a lot of action films/interrogation films, so we though that overall, this film industry was right for our film. We also used this film industry as it distribute a wide-ranging slate of some 18-22 films each year, making this film industry very popular. They're known for their opening titles of being in the Batman Trilogy, Lego Movie, 300, The Hobbit etc. We made the joint decision of choosing this opening titles as it is also effective and gives it the action feeling towards the audience. Overall, whilst using this opening titles sequence, we found that it was right for our film and that it portrayed its way on being effective towards the audience. We also linked this opening title sequence with New Line Cinema productions, this also works closely with Warner Bros and found that it worked well to give it the action feeling and effectiveness towards the audience.

We thought that we would use Warner brothers as it has help make and distribute many other action genre films, as I said above, 300, Batman Trilogy Lego Movie, The Hobbit etc. We used this type of Warner brothers opening titles due to the fact that it gives it the impact straight away on the audience and also that we felt that it was the right film institution for our opening two minutes as it had all the right aspect about it.

Warner Brothers is closely linked with New Line Cinema and this is a part of the Warner Brothers institution and is what Warner Brothers owns, we also used this as it a uses media convergence linking with the film.

We also used Walden Media as a part of our opening two minutes too as it is a media distributor and also that it works on films that are aimed at children, teenagers and young adults and that is what our opening two minutes are aimed towards. Walden Media is mostly known for the Chronicles of Narnia which is a fantasy action film and we found that it would work well with our opening two minutes.

Evaluation Activity 2

We have a comparison here of a similar interrogation situation, the top picture being from our opening two minutes of Avraj (playing the antagonist) interrogating Sam McCool (the protagonist), now comparing this to the bottom picture of The Joker (Heath Ledger), from the Dark knight, these two pictures have both similarities and differences.

Firstly, the similarities between these two photo's is the type of clothing that is worn, we can see from both pictures that they're both wearing formal attire, which consists of a blazer and also a smart shirt, which creates the effect within the audience of mystery, wealth and power, which is needed in an action film. Also the setting is similar in a way, this is due to make the setting feel like it is tucked away in a warehouse somewhere, comparing to the picture at the bottom we can see some similarities of the setting as they're both set in a warehouse scene. Another and final similarity is the facial expressions on the faces of the antagonist's, giving the blank expression on the faces, making the audience feel that they don't care about their actions and connotes the idea of the character being emotionally stunted and dangerous.

There are also some differences between these two photos as well. One difference being that the setting in the bottom photo makes it feel more like an action films, due to the better equipment, make-up and budgeting. comparing this to the top photo, the top photo (A scene from our opening two minutes) gives it a sort of action film, but you can tell this was done in someones back garden in their shed, due to the equipment seen in the scene.

Overall, there are some similarities and differences from the two photos and that I personally think that there are more similarities than differences. In our opening two minutes we tried to make Avraj feel like The Joker in the mysterious, cunning and powerful way, giving a huge effect on the audience.
