what I have learnt from research.

I have learnt from my research that the public would like the laws of opposition by having one good character against a bad character, I thought this would good to add into our opening sequence because it can creative a baseline to build from to make an actually story.

The public all so like a wide use of cinematography, sound and mise en scene; I found out that if there is more camera movement and quick camera change, we have thought it would be good to use a different number of camera shots from; close up, mid shot, long shot, over shoulder and a point of view shot. these shots all give a different perspective and maybe the different reason and meaning they portray.

we are going to use both non dieagetic and dieagetic sound because we can use non dieagetic with the "PING" from the elevator and dieagetic sound from the car in the car park.

The mise en scene is always important because every item in the shot may have a purpose to be in the shot eg with our CCTV camera in the elevator can be later on in the film. the car is all so an important prop as it is a way of the character to get around and explains how they get from A to B. 

Casting

Cast

This is Dan, we chose him to play one of the criminals, we chose him because we think he has a mysterious look about him and as he it quite tall we could adapt him to most characters and he's a guy we can trust to be there for filming 

This is Matt, we chose him to play the agent/hero in the film, we chose Matt because not only is he reliable but he has that typical look with his hair and his muscular shape. 

This is Alex, we chose him because he's done some previous acting and was kindly willing to help out with our coursework.

health and safety

health and safety

Potential danger	Potential outcomes	Actions to avoid potentials outcomes
Tripping over electrical wirers	An injury could occur by falling over	Can stick the wirers down with duck tape and place sign to make people aware. Appoint someone to make sure that all of the above has been done.
Could get run over by a vehicle	You may die or other injury could happen	Give notice to people so they know what happen and get people to wear. Appoint someone tell inform the crew and cast that there is a car and to get some off the road.
Having an electrical shock when setting up camera	May have a temporary muscle spasm or heart failure.	To me extra careful when placing fingers and always know what you’re doing and ask if you become stuck. Appoint someone to be in charge of all the electrical equipment.
May get stuck in the lift	Starvation or panicked attack	Hope not that the lift gets stuck.
Dropping camera	Camera may break. Glass may break and you could cut yourself on the shards of glass.	Try not to drop the camera over all. If you do drop the camera and the glass break.
Weather conditions	As we are filming in the winter, the weather condition may be dangerous; ice maybe on the roads, this can be dangerous when walking and driving.	Place grit on icy patch. Appoint someone to be in charge of gritting all of the patches.
Tripping over the tripod	Tripping may cause falling over and hitting your head and causing head injury	Always be aware of your surroundings.
Fumes from being in the car park	The fumes may prevent an assumer attack if anyone has assumer	Can where dust masks to prevent fumes to be inhaled.

Costume

Criminals wear black/dull clothing, hoodies.

The man walks in with the blazer over his shoukder.

The gloves that the man will wear and the criminals will be similar. 

The plain black blazer the man will put on.

Criminals will wear balaclavas.

This is the email requesting permission to film at a multi story car park in Worcester. 

Filming location, car park and lift.

  

This is where the car will enter the car park, the camera will wait for the car to get to the far left of the shot then follow the car round. 

        

The camera will remain stable in a match on action shot while the car will go into the shot then out.

how we our going to approach our target audience.

how we our going to approach our target audience.

There are a number of way to approach our target audience;
we can use social networking site, such as facebook, twitter. etc.. we can also go face to face by showing a clip on an ipad then ask them some question on what they through about the clip.

I would ask the following question;

• what did you think of the clip?
• what makes you want the rest of the film?
• which character do you like the most and why?

I can also watch the response as one of the public as they watch the clip and judge the mood and note their response. I will also be taking a note of what happening in the scene this can help us to know what we need in our opening sequence so we can get more people to watch our film.

target audience

research of your target audience

• we aim for male audience that is shy, likes to keep with to himself, doesn't have many friends and the time when he feel safe is when he is in the make believe world of super hero's. he would like the world to become the world  that reads.  he enjoys to read comic's and watch DC films. i can see the priorities of this male is doing all of his work first then dives into the make believe life of super hero's.
• the target age that we aim for 15-25 with the life style of coming home after a day at school/college and uni not having much to do after doing all there work so they will just want to relax and watch other people lives.

storyline

The superhero walks into a lift in a suit with jacket over shoulder, camera shows the lift numbers on ground floor, the camera then cuts to a car driving to through a car park, the camera is then an over the shoulder 'cctv in corner' shot if man in lift, it then cuts to the car parking. then a close up of man in lift putting gloves on and another shot of the numbers of the lift, then cuts to men putting balaclavas on then another shot of man in lift and then cuts to men getting out of car, when the men walk toward the door the lift numbers increase then at the end you hear the beep of the lift and the title of the film 'caught out'.

All parallel action to create suspense,

Lift numbers is a proretic code creating tension.

enigma code creates questions.

Titles

The titles were mostly green representing the dominant colour scheme in the film, they were bubble       writing and more childlike. An easy font was used to make it pleasing to the eye. 

http://www.artofthetitle.com/2009/05/11/hulk/ 

In this clip a sound motif is used where the sound track is only ever used for the hulk oppose to a song. Non diegetic sound is used. 

Only one character was shown in this opening sequence, this is the most he is shown at one point, he is the scientist in the scene and his arms or hands are shown. 

All of the props are science related connecting with the film. fairly dark lighting is used and this connotes that there is darkness and evil in the film.

The narrative code shows a lot of close-ups used to create enigma, fast tense music creates suspense and gets the audiences attention.

The genre is established when the comic books are shown displaying that its a superhero film. 

Opening sequence analysis

Spider-man opening sequence analysis.

The opening sequence starts with the writers of the film ‘marvel’ being brought onto the screen through very quick jump cuts of different images of their comic books, when the text marvel is shown the camera zooms out on it, this connotes its importance.
This is followed by a fade-in shot of a thread of web then the image is faded out, followed by the main shot faded in with the first piece of text telling the audience the production company.
The titles and text are all done in post production editing. The soundtrack is only used for spider-man, the upbeat soundtrack is appropriate for the target audience. The cinematography used connotes that the film is scientific and maybe futuristic. The next shot used it a zoom out shot where the camera zooms out on the cobwebs and different text fades in.
The mise en scene in this clip includes the production design, this determines the overall look, including the cobwebs and the dark colour scheme, this connotes that the ‘spider-man’ is spider related. The costume for the two characters shown are there main ‘outfits’.
The camera then zooms out onto the title and it lights up, a sound bridge is then used to take the camera to another scene, all the sounds in this opening sequence are non-diegetic and added in the editing suite. Tilts, zooms, pans and cuts are used to show the next pieces of text, the colour red had been brought in showing it is of significance. An image of spider-mans arm followed by other parts are then shown giving the audience a small glimpse of his image but keeping some from them.
When the music is changing an image of the villain in the film is shown, this connotes to the audience that he is also of significance and the music makes him appear to be a villain. When a new piece of text is show the camera hovers moving slightly around the text giving the audience time to read it and then it will move on to the next. This is all continuity editing and not many cuts are used as its one big shot bringing different images in and out of the picture.
The music is then changed to a slower paced and softer tone followed by the iconic spider-man tune, this is the sound motif for the main character, with the scenery changing from the cobwebs to the buildings, again pans and tilts are used with zoom in and zoom out shots. The location of the opening sequence is in New York where the whole film is set. The camera moves as if it was in the eyes of the spider-man when he is swinging from the buildings, this is a first person approach that gives a more intense feel for the audience and makes your feel more involved.
When the pieces of text are shown they use the rule of thirds to show the importance and make it pleasing to the eye, a larger gap is then used before they show the name of the director, this is because he takes a more important role for the film and it ends on his behalf.

Analysing the hulk

The opening sequence starts with showing different pages of the comic book the film is based on, this is shown using a green colour filter in the film representing the colour of the main character. The writers of the story ‘marvel’ then is cut in and slowly zooms out. This is promptly followed by a pitch black screen where a water droplet is cut in with the camera zooming out on the droplet until the droplet cannot be seen. The sound in the background of the first section is non-diegetic sound that is put there for a background and it creates suspense ready for the film to begin.
The droplet then re-appears and expands into an explosion type graphic, this is a graphic match. The camera then tilts down and zooms into the explosion and then shows detail of inside. While vibrant colours are in the background, big green writing shows the important roles, the green again is associated with the film.
This opening sequence is mainly graphic; following is a split screen graphic match where a picture of half a sphere represents a star and half a sphere representing a green cell of some sort. The star half of the screen is then cut out so a whole sphere representing a green cell is shown; the cell is then split into two, the camera then quickly moves around until it gets to some green fluid where it’s then changed into the word HULK.
The camera then zooms out to another time of cell with a different colour scheme; the difference connotes that something has changed.
The mise en sen in this includes the images of everything they used, the cells, green and planets represent something that will later occur in the film. The viewers know the green is of importance when its shown throughout the opening sequence and injecting out of the cells, then to prove it the word green is written on the paper. The camera swiftly cuts when the scientist tries to get the syringe into get into the cell showing that it’s hard to get it in. A focus pull is used to show the syringe then the liquid being squirted out. The liquid then is graphically matched to a zoomed in picture of the gene molecules. The camera then goes from a high angle to a low angle using a tilt, another focus pull is used where the words on the paper came into focus, this connotes they have significance, a pan is then used to read what was written on the paper.
The camera is then cut to a view of a man from under the water; non diegetic music is used to frighten the audience when the hand grabs the starfish. Jumpcuts are used to show the man dissecting the starfish, when the samle is put in the test tubes zooming out jump cuts make the event more important, a pan is used to look at the man using a telescope, a focus pull is then used to connote the importance of the test tubes. All the objects in this clip are strongly representing the film.
Speedy jump cuts and quick tilts make the next part very tense, with the lighting flashing dim and brightly. When the flashing stops and the non diegetic music changes to a slower softer tone we know that something different is happening, pans are used and there are reflections of the writing, two jump cuts are used on the writing then a jump back to a previous object showing they are linked, flashing lighting and faster music are used again with this object, cuts are the same shot but adding pieces bit by bit.
A zoom in is used on certain words and pans are used to read a sentence, jump cuts are them used followed by another focus pull, an extreme close up and flashing lighting connoted the concentration in the man’s eyes, a fade cut is used when the man is writing, this is an enigma. The location of the set is a science lad which is appropriate, the costume is linked as he is dressed in a shirt.
Towards the end of the clip alot of jump cuts are used followed by extreme close ups and quick pans, this creates tension and gets you ready for the film.

Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is when cuts are made and they seem invisible to the audience. This makes the scene seem like its in real time so the audience feels like its happening.
 This can be done in several ways, two of which being match on action and 180 degree rule.

• 180 degree can be used when two people are in a conversation, it means that you can only film on one side of the characters to make sure they are all looking in the same direction. 

• Match on action could be used when somebody walks into a room, an example of this is the door, if you are filming from outside the room you have to make sure the door is at the same angle to when you film from inside the room, usually the same camera is used for a scene so it would have to be acted out twice.
