Institution

From the start of our project we decided that MGM would be a suitable institution, as it was responsible for the production of films like James Bond. The company was still running at the time and in the process of launching a new film. It was only later near to the end of the project we discovered that MGM was going into bankruptcy. As part of the plans, the privately-owned production company Spyglass Entertainment will merge two of its subsidiary businesses into a subsidiary of MGM to create the new MGM company.
Spyglass will then own the remaining 5% of the new business, with its senior management taking charge.

We can still use MGM as institution however it is no longer the same company, that we started off with.

Adding Credits/Titles

One thing that was removed during editing was the opening titles. We removed the titles due to the fact we were over running on time, however  the titles/credits were a key aspect for the codes and convetions of an action thriller genre.
With the re-edited shortened film we were able to add on the new titles to the end. Making the titles we used previous sections of footage and used a b/w effect followed by a freeze frame. The freeze frame enabled me to apply the characters names and actors over the top.
This now folows all guidlines that where to be followed throughout.  

Edit: Breaking of the 180 degree rule...

I had to make some quick changes to my film where we broke the 180 degree rule. Due to time issues the quickest way we could solve the problem was to cut footage from the interrogation scene. By removing the shots that has been filmed from the wrong angle, we were able to solve this problem. However deleting the footage meant we were missing dialogue from the actual interregation, so we added a fade/dissolve transition. This shows that time has passed in the middle and makes the cut less jumpy.

Updated Media Schedule

This table shows how long much time i have allocated to work on each element.

Improvements according to brief.

New edited fotage with  changes made according to the requirements of the task. This included fitting to the coads and convetions that are in thriller genra. This included adding credits and removing footage that that brakes the 180 degree rule.

Evaluation

This is our evaluation to our opening sequence "The Interrogator"
In this video we evaluate from our first ideas to the final production. Also you will find where our inspiration came from and how this effected our film.

Happy Watching

Overview

During this project we developed our opening sequence massively from the original plans. Using the inspiration of Lie to Me , 24 and James Bond Casino Royale. These gave us a good style to create our film in, storylines and camera angles were also was influenced by these films. The outcome looks great and accomplished what we set out to do. One great improvement was when we shortened the film to just fewer than 2 mins. This has a shorter more snappy, attention grabbing feel.
If i were to do this kind of project again i would put more time into producing a much tighter script, and storyboards as scenes where cut too soon and created a jumpy look. As well as this, better location scouting would have helped as it would have allowed more focus on the filming and acting. This would help as we struggled to fake the office environment in a school location.
