analysis
here are some analysis of films i watched in preparation for the making of my opening two minutes. i chose these films as they were of the same general plot or at least the same genre as mine.
Kung Fu Panda
this film fitted well into the same catagory as mine. the opening was a direct inspiration for my end product.
it opens with the dreamworks logo
the film is done with digital animation. it begins with a dream sequence and to show that it is a dream it is done in a different style of animation.
example of shots: begins with a tilt shot and then cuts to a close up. this is followed by a long shot from behind the charecter which shows the charecters location. this could be called the establishuing shot. then a paning shot is used over a crowd. a quick zoom is then used which gives sets the audioence up to expect something fast paced.
misen sen: the clothing and buildings help establish the location and time period. they were reminiscent of ancient china and so you saw robes and straw hats as well as the buildings made of bamboo. the sound is old chinese music.
lighting: the entire thing was anmated with darker colours to better show along with the animation the difference between the dream and reality.
special effects: no real special effects used as it was animation so all effecs were done in the same way as the rest of the film.
Austin powers 3
example of shots:it uses jump cuts. tracking shots and a variety of others.
misen sen:the music is fast and reminisent of other action films. the film is a sequel so the costume's while not realy being anything the person can understand normally create perfect misen sen when seen as it shows the viewer in a way they can understand just who they are seeing.
lighting:the lighting is used to show its day but does not feature heavily as something that makes any real effect.
special effects: there are many special effects used. greenscreen was used for much of it and the helicopter was likely a model. the explosian was done using a mix of CGI and pyrotechnics.
Kung Pow
example of shots:
misen sen:
lighting:
special effects:doll used for baby rollung down cliff. digital animation during fight scene.

script and storyboard
here are some extracts of the script and story board i made for the filming
1.EXT.STREET.DAY
from a distance a figure appears as it gets closer we see
that it is a young woman claire. she is dressed in a long
overcoat and is running fast. she has piercings in her nose
and bleach blond hair. soon after another figure appears
from round the corner. chasing ensues. sharp turns are take
and eventualy Claire runs offscreen. crashing noise is
heard implying that she ran into something.
CLAIRE
what the heck!
2. INT. APARTMENT. DAY
Claire sleeping on sofa. alarm wakes her. she gets off the
sofa removing the junk food wrappers. heads to door and
opens it.
EXT. STREET. DAY.
Claire walks out door. is confronted by large grey dog.
