Main Scene 
This shot shows one of the angles I will be using in my film. I think that this will show the the cars when they are coming up to the top of the car park. I will cut in and out of this shot constantly when the police are coming up the ramp.  This will help to create speed effect and build dramatic tension.  







This is the main scene. I thought that this would be a great place for us to place the cars and the big fight.  There are really good angles up on the top of the car park and the backdrop is amazing as it's standard urban back drop so it fits with the typical police crime genre.

The Writers Guild of America allows only three writing credits on a feature film, although teams of two are credited as one, separated on the credits by an ampersand ("X & Y"). If each works independently on the script (the most common system), they are separated by an "and". If more than two persons worked on the screenplay, the credits may read something like "screenplay by X & Y and Z and W" X and Y worked as a team, but Z and W worked separately.
  • DIRECTOR or DIRECTED BY
The Directors Guild of America usually permits a film to list only one director, even when it is known that two or more worked on it. Exceptions are made in rare cases such as a death, and subsequent replacement of the director mid-production, and for established directing teams such as the Coen brothers.

Film Opening

In Fast Five I love the way they arrange the camera angles and show how fast they are going when really they're not going that fast. They used a panning methord to make it look faster.
I will most probably use this panning methord to make my car look like they are going faster then they actually are doing the max speed limit. This film has given me good ideas for me to use in my film such as he diffrent veriations of camrea angels and the way they have set out the cars.  







In the Dark Knight Rises the opening tittles are much different compared to the the other films listed on this blog. This film starts off with the craters of the film then they lead into the charters and the people who played them. The way this is set out is brilliant because it's set out like an police case with the pictures of the people and the names stamped beside. This adds such a big effect and because they expect you to have watched the other films leading up to this you get the opening and if you haven't then you can still figure it out but just not as well. I like the way they have done this but in my film I don't think this would work because of the way my film is going to be produced.     









In Casino Royal the opening has a lot to do with the film like the cards and the guns. As this is James Bond there is going to be a lot of killing gambiling which you can tell from the start and so this is a good opening because you now know ruffly what you are going to see. The thing is girls and cars we all know about James Bond even if you havent seen a film so you know what to expect from the film. The opening shows a poker/ gambiling vibe, guns and girls. The only thing they dont show is the car but as always it ius going to be an Aston Martin becasue it is britsh and always in the films. This opening is good because you know what you are going to see and is every crateive and every James Bond.











This is someones version of the opening credits in the Avengers. In this person version of the opening credits it show exactly what you want to see from the opening credits; tittles and the person who plays that part when there tittle comes up. The opening credits also show such a good demonstration of the fading in and facing out. This adds drama and is a good way of changing the character. In my two opening to the film I will be using this because of the effect and it keeps the audience engaged in the film with out them knowing to much that is going to happen.     











This is film Sky Fall it's quite a new way of starting a film for James Bond. The difference between this and the old ones is that they don't start the film with the the actor they normally start with the animations  of the actor and the pattens. This still happens but after the shot with the actor falling. The animation is really good in the way it relates to the film but in my film I will not be doing this purely because it is not going to be suitable and not in my expertise.

Fight scene

Love the way they change in between shots and pan following the gun. This action film has got to make things funny because it's a comedy. So the part where the fat cop opens the door and the granny goes flying is really funny and then they get in the nitty gritty action part which is actually really good action filming. They make their filming different with fast pans and slow motion; this adds comedy and look great.

Fight scene

In this fight scene i have noticed that there is a lot of different angles like. Low, mid shot, pan, close up, above shot, two person and wide shot. These shots add a big effect because the low shot shows power and pan shows speed. I have noticed I will need all of these to have a good action scene.

Bronson

 2 characters
I think the way the music changes between the two characters really makes the actor seem so much more dramatic and the caracter really comes out in him. This also show the actors ability to play more then one character and shows the weirdness and sociopath in this film. This is what the film wants and has definitely accomplished this in this scene.
