Favourite film of all time

Honey is my favourite film for many reasons, one would be for the music that is throughout the film. This was the music I was grew up to and really the music that I love. The story of the film is that any thing is possible when you believe in yourself and this is something that I think to my self when making decisions to my future.

The dance scenes in this film are well choreographed and because of this show a real art and as a viewer is really amazing to watch. This young women is also a good role model to me growing up as her life was built on helping others less fortunate than herself. She lived in a middle class background and her parents didn't accept her career as a dancer and felt it was impractical yet she continued to do this with out her parents blessing as it was her passion and love, growing up I was a female footballer and all i got was people telling me that I shouldn't be playing football because i was a girl and this film helped me to see that the things we love most in life is not because of the acceptance but the love of what we are doing and so this film is held dear to me as it helped me form the girl I am today.

Proposal opening two mins

Starts of with music (Non-Digetic sound) playing in the background when two production credits Touch Stone and Landwilde films fade in and out. the is the a panning view of woods that cut into and over the shoulder shot of a young women on a bike and the a wide shot of the riding this exercise bike in her apartment.

The is then a Birds eye view of a man sleeping when his Alarm clock goes of (Digetic sound) waking him up. This when cuts in to a wide shot when he looks at the time and leaps from his bed.  This then cuts onto a close up of the women looking into her mirror. fast panning shot is then introduce as the young man running though the town to suggest to the audience he is a rush to get somewhere. This then cuts into a medium shot of the female in her apartment having a coffee to suggest to the audience she has no worries.

This then cuts back into a face pace panning of the man entering a coffee shop when the worker says to him two regular lattes. this suggests to the audience that he comes her often and has them guessing who the other drink is for. and the cuts into another fast panning shot of the man running across the shop into a building.

Both the male and female being given prevence in the first two minutes of this film also has the audience watching questioning that they will have a link to the later story of the film.

Never back down opening two mins.

The name of the film first appears with Non-Digetic sound (music ) that is intensive and loud. The Name title then fades out into the background of the lighted football pitch. The first camera shot is off another camera filming the events of this football game and then zooms out into a wide shot of the game taking place. Digetic sound of the audience of this football match cheering is introduced to make the audience understand what is going on.

This is followed by a close up of a young man's face and then the camera is panning around the action of the game taking place. The camera however seems to follow around the man in the first close up giving him prevence to suggest to the audience watching that he is important to the rest of the film and therefore keeping them engaged into continuing to watch the film.  The music then starts to intensify as the tension of the game builds and the tension between the two quarterbacks build. The music then stops when the game finishes.

A comment is then made about the young man's farther who has been given prevence  and the music is then reintroduced and the pace of the film again starts to build, following a extreme close up of this young mans face to show the audience watching his anger from this comment made.

The camera then pans around this man as he fights and takes down his opposition and then finishes with a wide shot of all the football players fighting on the pitch and leaving the audience wondering what it is about  this character and the mentioning of his farther that makes him so angry and so having the audience engaged in the first two minutes of watching this film

Twilight braking dawn part two opening two minutes

The tiles of this film is very effective it started with the summit entertainment title and the cut into a birds eye view panning shot over one setting of the film the woods. The is titles in both white and red to suggest the film will have darkness and light in. the is then a long panning shot of dawn over hills when the title of the film then appears. then colour contrasts from darks red to grey as the characters names are being titled.

the setting of the film is on constant viewing during the opening titles and the same non- digetic sound (music) in the background it starts of soft and gentle but eventually picks up tempo and becomes loud. Their are a few bits of editing where from shots that show the characters names that fades into actual settings of the film. also the shots and titles start at slow pace with the soft and gentle music but as the tempo of the music starts to increase so does the speed of each frame to the titles. this is effective because it helps to build up tension to those who are watching and keeps them  interested to what is going to happen next and as a result keeps the view to watching the rest of the scene

Genre of my film

The Genre of my film is Horror. Having this a the genre of my film meant that I still had a range of things that I could use in my film. Horror films have a range of villains. zombies, possessed people, ghosts, cereal killers, haunted dolls and so on.  This meant that I had a range of characters and story lines to choose from. However I wanted to do something different, I wanted to subvert the stereotypes of horror films rather than convert to them and this is why I had a male victim as I wanted my film to be different to every other film having the victims being helpless women. I also had my villain being a female to show her as the strong and powerful character subverting the stereotype of women and girls being weak and less superior to men.

location research of my film

This is where we chose to set our film. This is a small town with a big woods that is ideal for the settings of our film. The woods are spooky with a lot of space to film in. Wood are a stereotypical location for horror films that involve mystery deaths.  This was a perfect location for my film as there was no one around so the film had the feel we wanted it to have, but also their was no noise of anyone around which meant when it came to the digetic sound to our film nothing had to be cut out.
