PowePoint abot current film distribution orgnazation



This Power Point that I have produced is a presentation that explains in brief detail the five distribution studios that I thinks are the most successful in my opinion. I have done the power point is because I wanted to use it as research.

Having done research into the different types of music that is in action films I like the theme tune genre the best because it makes the scenes in films sound good but it doesn't over power the scene which other genres such as Rock. I also like the idea of a theme tune for our scene because if singing is evolved then I think that it over power and ruin the opening.

Sound track examples

Looking at all different types of genre music that is used in action films we have come up with the conclusion that allot of action films just use a theme tune or a song with no singing or very little, however these are usually used at different scene through the film, this type of music is a good way









Pop music examples

I also researched into different into films that contain pop genre music two good examples are:

  • Die Anther Day
  • Avatar

Initial urban photos taken

Possible music genres

For our film opeing we have to have have some music involved within the scene, so to do sat down and decided on the possible music genre that would fit our movie genre the best which is action. The types of genres that we came up with are:

  • Opera (not many)
  • pop
  • Rock
  • Theme tunes

The reason we have choose the foollowing music genres is beccase from different movie opemning we have noticed that the they use above genres for example Sum of all fears uses opera in scen near the end when the car blows up.

Other action films that we have both see that has used rock music in is Transformers which was resleased in 2007. The film uses music prtoduced by a rock band called Linkin Park the song name used is What Ive done.







Anther example of music that is rock genre is the Quantum of solace which was released in 2008 the title of song name is Anther way to die which is the main theme song,I choose this as an example because it shows that rock music can be incorporated in action films which Quantum Of Solace is.
However I personally do not like the song because out of all James Bond sound trakcs I thought it was the weakest in my opinion. the reason I used this video because it shows that Rock music can be effective in film opening however for our story line I do not think that rock would suit it.

Action film music




For our film opening we are sure what type of music to include so I have done a bit of research try and find out what music is used for action film and as our genre is action it would be best to look at music form action films, which is what I have done. What I have found is that allot of the music found in action films tends to more electronic and not allot of singing more of tune.

Moodbaord for action genre

oMedia Moodboard


This is a mood board that I produced which represents different action genre pictures, I did this
so that I could get an idea and inspiration that we could use the ideas in our film opening. The idea
of the mood board was so that we could find out what action genre include so that when we made our
film opening we would be able to incorporate action ideas so that we meet the typical action conventions.

Film opening basic stort line

Film opening story line
The film opening that we are producing has a an action genre and we have used ideas from various films such as Sum of all fears which was rereleased in 2002, the part I got the inspiration from is the end scene when all the enemies assassinated in different ways and the part I like and have used elements from is when the enemies car blows up when he pushes the cigarette lighter, and the bit where the culprit looks through the window and then walks out the room.
The opening scene begins with a person in an office sitting down and staring at an old fashioned pocket watch for a few second s this being a close up camera shot of just the clock. The scene then cuts and we the see a glare of light that covers the whole shot, for e few seconds which makes the audience think what is it, the camera then panes out and we then see a man walk into the shot, holding a mirror by his side we then see the person walk to his car and get into the car. When the man is in the car we then try to focus on the persons expressions which show that something is not right, the person then looks at the centre mirror in the car for a split second and then gets out of car and looks under the car and see a flickering light, at first he does not know what it is so we uses his mirror to get a better look and realises that it is a bomb with a timer on which has a few minutes left. The person then gets under car to try and disarm the bomb he then manages unlatches the bomb, and then gets out from under the car and goes into the car and gets some pliers to cut one of wires on the bomb however he does not know which one to cut so he decides to cut one not being sure if it is the right one. We then go back to the man in the office who we see press the button on the side of the clock, and then the titles then appear.
The reason we have done the combination of two differ people is because it makes the audience think has the person defused the bomb in time because we don’t actually see if he is successful, and we also don’t know, the audience also don’t know why the man is staring at the clock at the begging making the audience curious.

Urban colour scheme


The colour scheme that we have tried to incorporate into our film is mainly urbanely based colour because the basic plot to our film opening has building and other urban based scenery. The colours that we think that associate with urban is mainly the clod and dark colours. I have managed to find some sample that Think is similar colours that I would associate with urban

As well as using urban based colour we were also looking to use some warm colour like green because from the basic plot that we have I fell that we would be bale to use a range of colour like the green in the film opening.

colour wheel





Theses are colour wheels that I found form the Goggle because I wanted to see what the different types of colours are so that we could then incorporate the colours into our project having looked at the wheels we have thought that it would more suitable to use a range of primary of and secondary colour because we felt that it would make more sense to both as we were unsure with we thought would be most suitable. The main primary colour that I think we might use the most for our film opening is the blue and yellow because as most of clip is out door we are more licklly to use these tow clour more because red is usually a colour used in indoor so we might use the red for the indoor scene.

The secondary colours that I think we would use the most is the orange and the green because they both fit into the plot of our film opening for example the green would work well because as the second part of the opening is outdoor it matches well becuaase when people think of out doors the main colours they think represent it most is the greens and blues more green if it is the countryside. The orangey colours that they are could be suitable to use becasue as out main colour theme is urban it may fir well however we will have to experiment with it first, to see if it will be suitable.

Media location photos




These are some initial photos that I took which I though could be used as possible film location for our film as out initial idea was going to be action out door opening I thought it would be best to use out door locations so that it suits the types of scene we were hoping to create.

These photos taken were some of the location that we were going to use as part of our film however as we decided not to use Shooter as our main insiration for our film the photos taken may not be as asppropriate, however it was part of a learning prosses, and we may still use some of the photos shown.

Film opening titles

Film opening titles

• Time After Time
• Against the clock
• Race against time
• The clock watcher
• Time 4 murder

The tiles above are a few of the titles that I have come up with, however it was not just my diesciosn so as i was working with Nick and Paul, who also came up with some title names which they likded which we would then choose from the best name as a group

Some of Nick film title names are:

  • In the background
  • The rise
  • Una escapada
  • Asesinato
  • About the unknown



These are some ideas that I have come up with which could be used for our film opening, I have choose these because I feel that they, they could all be used as the title because they all relate to the story behind the film opening. From the list above I feel that the Time after Time is the best because it seems the most suitable. In my opinion because it makes me think owe what an unusual name.
