Title Research

 

this idea was initially going to be the second intro cover to our opening two minutes, however we voted that the first two pictures are more suitable for our genre. However, this picture is quite good because the quality is a bit higher than the first initial idea for our cover photo, although it seems less fitting for the fighting and chasing of our film. this title was mainly influenced by the fact that mountains are generally more appealing to the eye, and it would be easily immersive to the audience, because of the vast landscape.

Film Treatment

 

Within our movie the plot begins with filthy frank and Lewis hall and Andrew macgregor having a drug deal, while filthy frank looks in the distance with a close-up shot angle of his facial expression being one of seriousness. Filthy frank is basically leading a gang drug deal with two ex-soldiers who basically end up within the criminal business for adrenalin kicks and to get the excitement which they experienced when they were in the war, during the first scene our protagonist Lewis hall is spying on filthy frank and Andrew mcgregor. after a while of waiting  Andrew mcgregor appears from around the building and slow walks towards filthy frank who then looks towards him. After filthy frank and Andrew mcgregor meet after a handshake they start talking, then Lewis hall tries to sneak up to a wooden barricade. whilst he is sneaking filthy frank gives Andrew the drugs, whilst Lewis cautiously watches after they shake hands whilst Andrew walks back around the building filthy frank goes up the stairs and then walks back down, whilst this is happening Lewis hall takes advantage decides to try and capture filthy frank.

 

However filthy frank notices Lewis hall and proceeds to run away in the direction of Andrew. the chase scene lasts a few seconds, where filthy frank bumps into Andrew and panics and continues running. Whilst the chase scene is happening Andrew notices people running towards his direction and decides to check it out. This is where filthy frank bumps into him.

 

Lewis hall sprints around the corner of the building in pursuit of filthy frank, but instead crashes into Andrew who is investigating the scene. Andrew is pushed to the floor where Lewis hall threatens him with a gun but decides he doesn't want to kill him as his main target is filthy frank.

 

As Lewis hall walks around another corner filthy frank grabs Lewis's arm which he is holding the gun with him, and slams him into the wall, then proceeds to throw him onto the ground and kick him. Andrew then gets up  and blocks a punch from filthy frank and takes on a few knees to the body. and then takes him down and hits him several times.

 

filthy frank picks up the gun Andrew dropped and whacks him around the head and concusses him for a few seconds, and then he stands up and points the gun at Andrew and then it fades out to our production credits.

Relevant online tutorials and comments

 

The Fighting tutorial is part of our ideas for fighting tutorials and choreography. it is a part of a channel called indie action tutorials which show how to choreograph certain fights and action scenes. for our film trailer we needed to choreograph certain take-downs and strikes. and edit/render it so that within our film it looks good and as best as we can make it. we also looked at another tutorial for fighting scenes from the movie undisputed, a notable fighting movie which is known for its fighting scenes.  we also decided to put sound effects within our movie although we didn't watch a tutorial for this we just put non-copyright music within the movie trailer.

 

Cowboys vs Aliens Opening Two Minutes

The film starts with Daniel Craig waking up in the middle of the desert covered in dirt and a wound to his lower right torso and an unusual metal bracelet around his left wrist. To capture this first shot they use a close up shot to see Daniel Craig waking up and then it skips to a medium shot to allow the audience to understand his situation, by showing us his wound and the bracelet.

The next part is where three men on horseback with a dog approach Daniel Craig’s character from behind him. To capture this shot they use a long shot of Daniel Craig’s character facing the camera and you see the horses and the dog approaching from the background.

The next shot is the three men reaching him and discussing what they’re going to do with him when one of the men get down and threaten him with a shotgun, then Daniel Craig’s character but it breaks out into a fight resulting in Daniel Craig’s character killing all the three men. To capture this shot they use close shot’s to capture the punches and strikes and medium shots to capture weapon use and long shots to see what the others are doing.

Costumes

For clothing Filthy Frank will be wearing a short sleeve white shirt with many buttons undone and a tracksuit or jeans and trainers, Andrew McGregor would be wearing a cheap hoodie with jeans or tracksuit and trainers. Lewis Hall wears a shirt or t-shirt with a white and blue huntsman jacket and tracksuits or jeans with trainers.

For Filthy Frank we’re going for a classic drug dealer look with the cheap, out of fashion shirt and them not really caring how they come across.

For Andrew McGregor we’re going for a junkie look for someone who doesn’t have much money for clothes and only cares about their next high.

For Lewis Hall we’re going for quite a tough, masculine look but still formal and decent while doing it and someone who cares how they look.

For the first part we use a range of short and medium shots to establish the characters in the film and to capture what they’re doing.

The next part of the film is where Andrew McGregor and Filthy Frank meet up for a drug deal and for the encounter we use a close shot of the hand shake and a 180 reverse shot to capture the conversation.

As Filthy Frank looks towards Lewis Hall, the camera follows Lewis Hall standing up and pointing a gun at Filthy Frank and for this shot we use a close up shot looking down Lewis Halls arm to show the gun pointing at Filthy Frank and then Filthy Frank runs off and Lewis Hall peruses him and the camera follows behind Lewis Hall and then skips to a medium shot facing the wall to show both Filthy Frank and Lewis Hall running past and then skips to a long shot facing up showing Filthy Franks and Lewis Halls feet running.

The next shot shows Andrew McGregor walking away and looking back when he hears Filthy Frank running and for this shot we use a medium shot and then the shot switches around to show Filthy Frank run past and run into Andrew McGregor and for that shot we use a close up shot following Andrew McGregor. Then we see Lewis Hall run into Andrew McGregor pushing him on the ground and for this shot we use a medium shot follow Lewis Hall and we use another medium shot to show Andrew McGregor being pushed on the ground then we use a reverse close up shot’s and a long shot to show Lewis Hall threatening Andrew McGregor with the gun while he’s on the ground and then Lewis Hall running off and then the camera follows Andrew McGregor as he runs away.

Influences On Production

Our influence on the production of our film was varied, we had different influences, some of it was primarily drug deal scenes from other movies, such as scarface a notable movie which includes a Cuban drug lord who comes to Miami in hopes of becoming a powerful drug kingpin, we also had influences from military films such as Rambo as at least two of our protagonists are ex military and get involved within the drug deal for the adrenalin factor mostly, and because they get scarred from the war and become traumatized as a result.

 

Another influence on our production was for some of the characters we were influenced by comedian and you tuber filthy frank- not his real name, so we called one our characters with the same name, as we thought it would sound good and appropriate for our movie. also we were influenced by games such as grand theft auto 4 and generally just stereotypical eastern European gangsters when we decided to include Lithuanians as part of our cast. for the different scenes as part of our trailer such as the fight scenes we were influenced by fight films such as Undisputed 2, way of the dragon and blood and bone, although the fight scenes pale in comparison to the said movies we tried to emulate some of the fighting moves/choreography used.

 

More influence on our production we tried to include some humor from you tube videos we watched as part of our outtakes and fails before we edited and rendered, so this meant at first we messed around a bit before actually filming but afterwards got down to the nitty-gritty of the filming itself,
