Evaluation task 1



 
our production credit is 'JAK Productions'  we decided to call this jak productions as my name is Alex we have a Kieran in our group and a jack in our group we decided to try and put the first letters of our name in into a short word and we came up with JAK productions.
We decided to have a white  title with a black backround as it stands out well and it acts as a good cliff hanger ending as it shoots to black making it seem dangerous, if the back ground was blue and the title was yellow the production credit will look seriously un-proffesional.
We want our target audience to feel that jak productions is a new productions and to show them that we would be the dark horse in the production companies.



we used this shot in the fast paced scene of the flashback. we used a fair few amount of different shots to make this scene successful and look professional.  in this particular shot we i drive past the camera and 'zoom' into shot. i Think this shot is one of the best shots of this scene possibly one of the best shots in the movie. i think this is effecvtive as it shakes the camera a little bit as a drive past making it feel visious and fast.


This shot is a very good shot it shows the profile of both me and tom as it shows the situation i am  in. it is also is one of the first shots the audience will see of the 'alliance' being broken. there are a few bad points in this shot. firstly the cars in the back ground look unprofessional as they are not super cars- which are common in  spy films. secondly the bags on the floor make the shot and movie look scrappy and once again unprofessional. 




we chose paramount pictures as our opening production as they are known for filming films like ours such as james bond. the production credit also looks very professional and makes our movie look better towards the audience.  the 100 years under the paramount makes the instatution look very successfull as the company has been running for over 100 years which looks good for the audience as their films will be good quality as it has survived so long in the film industary.

This scene here is our final shot of the movie, this is where it goes back to the the interrogation scene and we leave the opening two minutes on a cliff hanger. this is a good shot as we see agent sinclair in a vunerable situation and is about to get interogated again. the shot of me throwing dom (grizzly) into the rubbish is a good cliff hanger as it shows the auduence is break free and they will want to see how i got out.

This is one of the three shots showing our main characters (tom cunningham) we used the black bold title to make it stand out. as cunningham is a big actor in the film industary and we want the audience to know hes in the film and create a positive vibe about the film before they've seen the opening two minutes. this shot has cunningahm in the far left of the shot so we can show the location of the scene, the cars in the back ground make the shot seem unprofessional.

this is a close up of the gun prop we used. we used my dads BB gun as it look very life like and beleavible. we use this close up to show the aduience that there is danger or an action scene coming due to jack checking the gun for ammonation and reloading it. this shot could of been made better if jack took off his cotton gloves as if jack is a classic 'hard man' villian they wouldnt be wearing basic woolen gloves.


this is the opening shot of the opening two minutes we used the basic bold titles to like before show the audience the main actor within the film and get the intruiged and hooked onto the film. the shot starts with my face down and we see the location i am in. the location looks stingey and hostile due to the sander in the back which looks dangerous and could be used for tourture. we see the phone in the right hand side which is used to wake me up and intoduce the audience into the situation agent Sinclair is in.


Lasty is a shot of a knife being put up to my throat. This shows the audience that i am in obvious danger and it will be a hard time for agent sinclair to get out of the sitiuation. the tence scene and the big knife getting put up to my throat will excite the audience and make them want to watch it more to see what happens
