This is the nine frame grab we have produced
from our final product. These 9 frames are important to our film and the
scenes tell the basic story briefly. Our product challenges the conventions of
real media products in many ways. First of all we use titles, we have listed
these in a certain order based on our research, which can be recognisable from
movies and making our production more professional and presentable. important
The name of our film is 'Mistaken Identity', this is a well thought of name because of the
fact that they mistake innocent John Peters as a criminal, who is interrupting
their drug deal. Also it works well as they swap packages with their names on,
the title pops up just as this happens as if they swap identities at that
point.
We introduce the name of the film later on in
the film opening and not right at the beginning this is commonly used by films,
we have made sure the title appears at the vital part of the story line, where
also the intense music is at its climax. We have tried to only include vital
scenes so it is not boring to watch, but everything is important. We end the
film opening on a dramatic scene, this makes the audience on-edge and wanting
to watch more. It is also somewhat of a cliff hanger, this also makes the
audience want to find out what is going to happen next. It introduces the
characters well by the way they act and speak, introducing characters is
important in a film opening and we have seen this used in many of the
ones we have analysed, so we felt it was important. By the way John speaks in
our film we can tell how he is innocent and normal person, something we wanted
to portray. Danny seems mysterious and an edgy character when talking on the
phone, this portrays the image of uncertainties we wanted to put across. Steven
is seen as a big powerful character, this is shown by his clothing and his
demands. Goodwin's theory applied to action movies, the link between the
music and the visual is complimentary. Less of a narrative and more of
implications our video has clear action like visuals, with clear and edgy font
for the titles as shown in the first screen in the 9 frame. As the music makes
loud bangs the titles changes as the beat building up the titles and action
that they may well expect.
Music
playing throughout sets the genre for our film with the upbeat loud sounds,
building up suspense, establishing the genre early for a film is important and
allows the audience to tell the genre before the film begins, we thought the
genre was very important to put across and make as clear as possible.
The camera action used is those properly
used in a usual film opening, swapping from many different types of shots,
keeping it enjoyable to watch and keeping it fast and upbeat with the intense
music.
The close-ups and match on actions, make the
scenes short and snappy and reveal close details we wanted to put across, e.g.
the phone in the office. The type of phone shows its setting and allows the
viewer to put together what they think is happening. The close-up in the 8th
frame is one of our preferred shots, we think this is a scary and an image of
the balaclava is a representative of the criminal image.
All of these come under the codes and conventions
of a film opening, the clothing is symbolic of the characters we want to put
across, the suits, representing office wear. The dark clothing representing the
criminality. This is important as it allows the audience to determine to image
of the character we want them too.
