Film Dairy

Day 1: We decided to film in order of the events which took place so in the first day we filmed Lewis Hall first sighting the drug deal and approaching the scene and we did the part where you see Andrew McGregor walking towards Filthy Frank because we did five separate shots for that part to try and make it more interesting and capture where and how and where he was walking. We also filmed the conversation in the first day and the drug deal between Andrew McGregor and Filthy Frank.  

Day 2: For day 2 we decided to film the encounter between Lewis Hall and Filthy Frank once Andrew McGregor has left and when Lewis Hall starts to chase Filthy Frank and when Lewis Hall knocks over Andrew McGregor and threatens him with a gun and we filmed most of the fight scene but once it got too dark to film the rest of the scene so we had to leave but one of the staff had locked the gate not realising that we were still in their so we had to climb out the back and walk along one of the fields to get out of the grounds.

Day 3: For day 3 we had to film what was left of the fight scene and the cliff hanger at the end of the film but we had a problem because Luke who played Andrew McGregor in our film was in another group and was just doing us a favour by being in our film and had to film with his group that day so we got Billy to film for us that day.

Day 4: Once we had done the filming, we uploaded it to a computer and reviewed it to see what we had to do again and to when we went back to make sure we weren’t locked in again we got a spare set of keys so we could lock and unlock the gate and Luke was available that day so we redid the meeting the scene and a few other parts we needed to do that day.

 

Commentary Script

This is a commentary by the director of the film addiction.

Since we were filming an action film we wanted to use a range of different shots and put at least three to capture each sequence to make it seem more fast paced but for the chase and fight scene we used more to capture more detail and make it more interesting to watch.

For the editing since we had so many separate shots it became quite challenging and to us a while to put all the clips into the film and cut them down to size so they ran smoothly and didn’t look clunky.

For sound we added quite intense fast paced music and we turned it down during the dialogue so you could hear what they were saying.

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.
