soundtrack edit

This is the soundtrack edit we did using garageband. We used 3 instruments (church bell, bass drum and snare) and played an intro which falls into time with the instrumental imported after. After using the initial soundtrack of rusteeq we decided that it would appropriate to add a section with instruments to play in the opening titles and then fade into the initial soundtrack. After listening to the song we were able to recreate the loop using the the software on garage band to create the various sounds in the track. we then listened to the edited soundtrack and played it alongside to rough edit of the sequence to see where rusteeq could be layered or edited to fit the mood. We now intend to make the necessary changes to the soundtrack to create an improved version of what we already have.

Similar Mise-En-Scene

This recent music video shares similarities to our final film with its use of a suburban setting for action scenes such as the chase on foot through the street. We used the streets as it is an everyday environment, meaning people can relate to it more. The above video is also similar to ours in the dress code as many of the characters in our opening sequence also wear black clothes to show that they don't want to be detected or are criminals.

Props

This is some of the possible props for use in our filming tomorrow.

This picture, and a couple from our group's storyboard can also be found on the 'Yfrog' photosharing website, as seen here http://yfrog.com/16wy50j

inspiration/research

After looking for similar footage from movies which we are filming I found this teaser from a music video which captures some of the different shots that we are looking to recreate. the 2nd shot when JME is trying to run away from a per-suer he runs into another which was the initial idea in the scene we are attempting to create, the shot shows the man running towards the camera which we are looking to do to create a sence of panic and tension.Shot 6 when the man is holding a photo and shouting in an angry manner, we plan to have a photo of the wanted man on the kingpin's desk while he shouts orders seeming angry, the shot however is a close up and we're looking to shoot an extreme close up of the kingpin's face when filming.Shot 12 when the man is holding his walkie talkie is exactly what the idea in our opening will contain and is great image to copy as the shot is a  medium shot so we can almost completely see the what the man is doing.

The mise-en-scene of this clip shows men trying to avoid capture and get away with illegal acts. the men are all wearing fully black costumes similar to that of what our characters will be wearing and the location is a busy highstreet which we shall also be using and the other location is a warehouse, we will be using a slightly different set to film are second scene. however this clip was very helpful in displaying the way we may use to convey the different shots.

Inspirations And Why

Although this movie was not an inspiration as I had never seen the movie, the plot which most closely matches the one of our story, is 'The Bourne Trilogy'.

The movie uses a 12A certificate as it is an complex political storyline however there is no extreme violence or nudity. This is similar to our movie however the storyline is more psychological than political and the idea for later parts of the movie involve stronger violence so the certificate of our movie should probably be a 15.

'The Bourne Trilogy' also uses many tracking shots and street chases, similar to our opening sequence, and from research we gathered that the movie used some unique handheld camera shots which we are likely to also use.

Inspiration for the psychological aspect is 'Donnie Darko' as the movie has some dark scenes and they lead to tricks being played on the viewer.
