Lighting Test
(Edited from Joe Panton)
Our opening takes place during the daytime, so we decided it may be best for the lighting in our film to be kept mainly as high key lighting. This leads the opening to look realistic, and the fact that it looks like it took place during day time (it does) may add to the tension of the scene, asit may seem unconventional for an intense and possibly frightening scene to have taken place in a bright setting, much like the"'Heeeeere's Johnny!" scene from "The Shining".
Lighting Tests:
We decided to test the lighting in our location before going and filming to give us some idea what lighting we are going to use. The black curtains which block the natural light from outside, will not be present when we start the filming- therefore, we chose to test the lighting in the parts of the shop (and our script) which would realistically remain similarly lit when we actually start filming. The only place we decided might be realistically lit is around the counter/till.

However, when the hitman approaches the till/counter, we decided it would be best to utilise the top lighting of the shop, from above the till, in order to exaggerate certain features on the hitman's face and make them stand out - which creates a more sinister character conventional to our genre.
Another thing that we decided to do was to leave off many of the lights that the shop usually has turned on, and instead opt to turn on only the lights that were around 4k kelvin. With the curtains open for our actual film to allow in natural sunlight (which would be around the warmth that the lights we leave on are at), this creates a colder and more intense atmosphere than warmer lighting / lower kelvin would create.
The colder tone of lighting also emphasizes the cold and inhumane nature of the hitman - as it makes him look paler and this leads to him becoming distanced from the audience, insuring that they do not empathize with him.

It also makes the opening sequence seem eery and as if something bad is about to happen.
Location Recce
(Edited from Jake Andrews, photos taken by whole group)
Location Recce: Lighting Shop
Location Recces:
The lighting shop is the location for the whole of the opening scene it will take place in a part of the narrative when the trail on Tom Longley has gone cold, and the hitman is trying to find the target by searching around places where the target goes, visits or is familiar with, bringing him to a lighting shop, next to a bustling road.
The lights in shop can be used to our advantage as we can easily use them to get effects on the characters to create tension or to develop characters. Certain coloured lights for example a greeney-white can be on the characters face to disconnect him from the audience and make him seem inhuman. The shop has a ladder/trolley on wheels - which can be used for steady camera work. The black curtains will be removed, making the location seem more believable and thus more realistic and intense.
The counter will be where the hitman and shop assistant will exchange conversations and where the hitman kills the shop assistant. The shelf in the middle can also be used for the camera, by laying it on spaces between the shelves we will be able to get some interesting shots. The lights coming down from the top could be used to our advantage for top lighting, to exaggerate features on the hitman's face or to exaggerate shadows to make him see more sinister or evil. The right of the picture above and in the middle of the image below is the entrance to another room in the shop, where the hitman enters the scene from. A bright light could possibly be used for when the hitman walks out of this room to create a powerful shadow as he comes through. Making the audience feel like the character is filling the room through his presence and darkness giving him dominance and allowing the audience to understand his power.

The till for customers to pay at and also where the conversation between the hit man and the cashier occurs. It is very realistic and has all the equipment that we already need such as a till, computer screen, chair and lighting. The till is also quite long so you could get a shot from the side that allows you to see the conversations being exchanged.
Target Audience & Age Rating for our film
(Edited from Jake Andrews)
Parental Guide & Target Audience for our film
The target audience for our production is over 16 year olds due to its mature content. The film product should be at this maturity rating as the film contains scenes of a fatal shooting, intense scenes which may frighten or disturb younger audiences and the mention and use of drugs. The film's age rating and target audience is explained through these categories:
Sex and Nudity:
None
Violence and Gore:
The opening scene contains two innocent people being shot by the hitman. Both deaths are off screen but you can still hear the gun shot being fired.
The whole film is based around a drug dealer escaping a hitman, meaning that there are life or death situations, and the rest of the film would contain gore.
Profanity:
The opening sequence contains no swearing.
However during the rest of the film there would be very strong language.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:
The film would include references to drugs all the way through. Drug use, dealing and effects of drugs are shown throughout.
Frightening/Intense Scenes:
The opening scene sees someone held at gunpoint and interrogated. This could be seen as frightening and intense to some viewers.
The film is about a chase that includes life or death choices and action sequences that could be frightening and intense to some.
Target audience:
Western Europe, UK, America - those who live in a similar environment/ culture may be able to relate more closely with some of the elements in the film, even if it means just the weather - this can make the film seem more intense to this audience, as it feels close and real.
18+. Those who enjoy tense films and aren't shocked by gun violence or drugs. If you look towards Katz and Blumler and the uses and gratifications media theory, our audience would probably mainly be watching this film for the use of entertainment.

Script - Opening Sequence (Original By Joe Panton)
This script is for our group opening sequence, it was originally made by Joe Panton but I have edited some aspects of it.
Script – We have not yet decided a name for our film
Blue: Camera
Red: Stage directions
Premise:
A drug dealer that had a spent his life building a business worth millions is now trying to escape from his rebellious past and live a normal life. Whilst a young, ambitious psychotic hitman has been hired to track him down resulting in a cat and mouse chase that ensues across England.
Setting: Spring Electrical (an electrical wholesaler/ lighting-shop) – Mid-afternoon
It’s mid-afternoon about 4:00pm with grey, gloomy overcast weather, inside the ironically-bleakly-lit-room of a lighting-shop. The lighting shop is situated next to a bustling dual carriageway, allowing for new customers and visitors at any time. The shop starts almost empty, with the exception of the much organised and very experienced sales assistant/ cashier behind the till who, at the time, is having a conversation with her also present mother, and a casual looking teenager in dark blue jeans and a hoody is examining the products in the display room, which isn't visible for the entirety of the opening sequence.
[Camera starts with a wide shot of the window on the right side of the front entrance door, from the right side of display shelves that are located centrally, showing the grim and cloudy sky and the busy bypass road, slowly the camera starts to move backwards through the shop as a dolly shot from a one point perspective]
Voiceover of man: If you look at me – in all my riches, and you told me that what you saw was an innocent man who got lucky, I’m not proud - but you’d be wrong.
(Background conversation)
Sales assistant: - Oh! Mum, do you not want a bag?
Customer/mother: No thank you, don't worry about that love, that’s fine, I’m rushing home to escape the rain, are you still all coming for lunch on Sunday?
Sales assistant: It doesn't look as if it’s about to get any brighter does it! Yeah, yeah we should be there around 2'clock? Thanks mum, see you.
Customer/mother: See you soon, love, take care.
(Customer takes product and walks down the right aisle and out of the shop, walking past the camera)
[Camera has made it across the right aisle and to the end of the shelves, and dollies over to the left side of the shelves,passing the central shelf, facing across the left aisle to the window now to the left side of the door, in a one point perspective shot again]
Voiceover of man: All that I built is now crumbling, and I turn away without looking back.
(Teenager walks into the main area from the display room and kneels onto the floor to examine products enthusiastically)
Voiceover of man: But others can’t… and they won’t.
Sales assistant: (Shifting her attention to young man lent down) Can I help you sir?
Teenager: [the camera switches to behind the teenagers (joe) shoulder, showing the sales assistant for the first time] (He turns to assistant and nods his head) actually you can! (Gets up and starts walking slowly towards counter) Bit of a weird thing to ask actually but (smiles sinisterly and lays hand onto till, [a medium two shot taken from one side of the till, showing the pair on the opposite sides of the till] could you just tell me what you know about this man. (Throws photograph onto till in an aggressive manor)
Shop assistant: (Looks down, shaking her head, gulping) I’m sorry but I don’t think I can give out such information as that, why?
[shot changes to low angle shot from behind one side of the teenager looking up past the boys legs and to the face of the sales assistant the other side of the till]
Teenager: (Pulls gun from waistband – back of jeans - raises gun level to her head) [Music starts]
Shop assistant: Oh… I don’t... h- he came in earlier – this morning. H-he knows our boss - my boss, his name – I think the name is Tom Longley, please don’t –
[the medium two shot taken from the side of the till, showing the pair on the opposite sides]
Teenager: (Puts photograph back into pocket and lowers gun to the base of the till) Where can I find your boss?
[Zooms in onto sales assistants face, close up, from the side, shows emotions]
Shop assistant: (Face starts to collapse as tears begin to form) He lives in Ashtead… Overdale… please don-
[Zooms back out to original shot of the pair either side of the till]
Teenager: And his name?
Shop assistant: … *silence*
Teenager: (Raises gun again)
Shop assistant: It’s Brian Greene!
[Screen turns to black promptly and a second later a gunshot is heard, followed by a stumbling onto the floor, before jumping to a medium shot of the teenager, taken from behind the till, with the teenager obscuring the view of a 4th character who witnessed the act in the background]
Teenager: (Lowers gun and sighs deeply before slowly turning around, we see the other customer standing limply in shock, and the teenager raises his gun once more) [The screen blackens before the title of film fades in the colour of blood red]
Two scripts put together
A script for an opening sequence of a film that is made from two different scripts from films that have been released.
By doing this it has allowed me to see how different aspects of different scripts can come together very well. It also showed me that there are many different ways off starting a film sequence. It was a fun task that allowed me to explore opening sequences.

Specific Film Title Creator: Maurice Binder
Film Title Creator: Maurice Binder
Maurice Binder was born on August 25th 1925 in NY City. He was a film title designer, although born in America he mostly worked in Britain from the 1950s. He died at age 65 on April 4th 1991, from lung cancer. He never married or had children, just focused on his job.
He is most know for his work on the 14 James Bond films, including the first Dr No in 1962. As a film title designer he was in charge of designing the opening sequence of the film, with the credits. The credits usually include the company that produced the film, the director and the main actors names. It is also known as animated credits or motion graphics.
Not only did he work on 14 James Bond films he also did work on many other films too including, Dracula, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and The Final Countdown. His career lasted all the way up until 1990 just one year before he died.
The video below is the work of Maurice Binder on the first James Bond film Dr No. in 1962.
Maurice Binder described the come about of the gun barrel scene in his last interview before he died like this ; That was something I did in a hurry, because I had to get to a meeting with the producers in twenty minutes. I just happened to have little white, price tag stickers and I thought I'd use them as gun shots across the screen. We'd have James Bond walk through and fire, at which point blood comes down onscreen. That was about a twenty-minute storyboard I did, and they said, "This looks great!"
Something that he did almost by accident turned out to be something that went on to be one of the most remembered things about the opening of James Bond films. The gun barrel part scene is used in a lot of the other opening titles of James Bond films too.
The final film that Maurice Binder was the title creator for was called The Sheltering Sky in 1990. The opening title is all in black and white beside the credits which are in a bold blue. The contrast is very clever as the film is called The Sheltering Sky the blue could connote the sky.
Binders style is very clever he makes sure that the opening title does not give too much away about the film but it still gives an introduction to the main actor and sets the tone of the film. In the James Bond films he ensures that there is ladies acting in sexual ways or being shown as sexual objects. He is known for making the women in the James Bond films to jump around or use guns, these are trademarks of the Bond films. He makes sure there is reference to guns and violence, which is why the gun barrel scene is used so frequently. James Bond is always shown as the main character and the one that is in control. No matter what actor is playing the role they are represented in a very positive way and seen to be classy, well dressed and sleek.
Some screenshots put together of Billion Dollar Brain the opening title by Maurice Binder. You can see that the colours that are used are all similar and there is a reoccurring theme. Things are shown more than once and colours change but the image doesn't.

Director : Pierre Morel
Director : Pierre Morel
He is not one of the most famous film directors but this is because he isn't usually a director, he is actually a very talented cinematographer. A cinematographer is someone who is in control of the camera and films the movie. He has been director of all apects that come under the heading of camera in most of his jobs but there are a few films that he himself directed. The most famous one being Taken that was released in 2008. Despite this he has worked along side some famous directors such as Louis Leterrier, director of Clash of the Titans, Now You See Me and The Incredible Hulk.
What is Pierre like as a director? The films that he has been director of are a mix of action-adventure films, such as Taken, District 13 and From Paris with Love. He has been director of a television series that is called Zero Hour, it is a fantasy drama.
Recently he has been linked with the production of a crime film called The Prone Gunman and there are also rumors that he may take on the role as director for The Hitmans Bodyguard. Both these films are fast paced and quite violent like the films he has already been director for. This tells me that his style of production is successful in the action-adventure, thriller and crime genres of film.
In the film From Paris with Love he has John Travolta as one of the main characters by doing this he is ensuring that the film is aimed at everyone, as John Travolta has been in many films including Grease, Pulp Fiction. He is very distinctive and Pierre Morel uses him to the best of his ability throughout the film. Likewise in Taken he uses Liam Neeson who is very famous and distinctive for being in violent action films. In both Taken and From Paris With Love, he ensures that the main character is constantly winning fights and uses many effects such as slow motion to make it look far more impressive. The two clips below show this.
Overall I believe that his style of directing is very basic, he bases the film on the shots that can be used as this is what he is best at doing. He ensures that every shot is the best it could be, especially noticeable during the fight scenes.
Specific Director : Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg:
Born in Ohio on December 18th 1946.Steven Spielberg is undoubtedly one of the most well known film directors to this day. At 67 years old he has directed a tremendous amount of films, some of which have been extremely successful. Not only is he a world known director he is known for writing films and producing them too.
His first experience of being in the film industry was in 1957 when he assisted the editor of 'Wagon Train' he was only 11 years old at the time and this must have hugely influenced him to become more involved. He directed a few short films, one of which he makes a stationary plane looks as though it is moving, 'Escape to Nowhere', 'The Last Gun' and 'Battle Squad'. One of his early films that he is most likely to remember is 'Amblin' this is because the films features desert, Amblin later becomes the name of the company that produces one of his best selling films of all time 'E.T. The Extra Terrestrial.' However these films were only a smidgen of what was to come.
His first major directorial effort was 'The Sugarland Express' (1974) but his next film was too be one that shook the world and made him stand out as a star among directors in the world. Jaws (1975), this was a wonderful hit and made other directors think about what they can do next.
He also produced and directed many other famous films; E.T the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, The Goonies, Gremlins, The Colour Purple and Empire of the Sun. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusaide, Back to the Future (part 2). Not only did he produce and direct these films he also had a massive influence on animation and animated films. 'Casper' and 'The Flintstones' are two of his most well know animated films. In the early 1990s Spielberg was very busy directing 8 films including, Schindlers List a massive film, Hook and Jurrasic Park. He continued to proudce films in the late 90's, The Mask of Zorro, Men In Black. But it was his directing side of the industry that he proved to be successful, Amistad, Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in Love.
He is a very well known director and in the production of ET he used lots of special effects, this previously had not been exploited. ET was a blockbuster and held a record of being the highest grossing film of all time, until 1993 when Jurassic Park also by Steve Spielberg overtook it.
Spielberg is a very successful director and producer but what makes him so different from everyone else? He has a very special talent and is able to recognise what sounds should go with what image that can be seen. He uses many foly sounds in order to ensure that the sound he gets is exactly as he needs it to be. He has studied and analysed famous movie directors such as Victor Fleming, that have been successful before his time, he uses there techniques and alters them just a little bit so that they fit his film. By doing this he is ensuring that the film will be successful as people may have seen the method used previously and therefore feel as though the film they are watching is as good as the last one that used that method. By moving the camera from left to right he does not always focus the shot on the centre, by doing this the audience gain information and the dialogue tells them what they need to know. It also keeps the audience engaged as they need to listen to one thing but watch something else.
Close ups are one of his specialties, he likes to use close ups to show the emotion, but when moving the camera to a close up he does not simply go straight on towards the face he comes from an angle, by doing this you get a sense of emotion as you interpret it differently. Another method that he uses for close ups is you can notice that the character that we are looking at, is not looking back at us. This engages the audience as they then want to see what the character they are watching is seeing. You feel the sense of fear that the character feels, this technique takes 3 shots to complete, first you see the character looking at something, normally they look worried or scared. Then you see what they are looking at, you gain knowledge. After that you see the characters reaction to what you and them have just seen, this allows you to feel the emotions of the character that you have connected with.
In a lot of his films you will notice that circles are used instead of squares, for example windows are often circles as they are softer. By making the shot softer is brings out more emotion. Or it can focus us to look at the centre of it and not realise what is going on around it.
Overall Speilberg is an incredible director and producer, he has won 3 Oscars, been nominated 120 times and won 125 other awards. These include Best Director - Saving Private Ryan this won him an Oscar.
