   NAME:
EXPLORING A EILA4 €P CANDIDATE'S CHOICE



This section is made up of 2 parts:

Film Exploration: Industry (5 marks)

This coursework requires you to explore a film that you have
particularly enjoyed and do some brief research into how it was
produced, distributed and exhibited. All of your research for the film
will be collected on a blog and then put into a specially design pro-
forma which will allow you to summarise your findings. This initial
piece of work will allow lead into a more detailed consideration of the
ways in which the micro features of film language communicate
meaning.

Steps to completing this coursework:

   1. Choose a film - THIS IS THE SAME FILM THAT YOU USED
      FOR YOUR MICRO ANALYSIS!
   2. Research how your film was produced, distributed and
      exhibited, using the tick list to help you
   3. Record all research in a Word document or PowerPoint
   4. Include pictures
   5. DON'T COPY AND PASTE LARGE AMOUNTS OF TEXT.
      ONLY WHAT IS NEEDED

Textual (Micro) Analysis (20 marks)
In class we have looked at a variety of different film sequences and
thought about the way in which the film's language is used to create
certain meanings and how we respond to those meanings. You
should now have the analytical tools and terminology needed to
succeed. For this piece of coursework you need to show an
understanding the ways in which the micro features are used to
communicate meaning. For example, lighting and sound (two of the
micro features of film language) can combine to create a particular
kind of atmosphere.

You are required to produce a written analysis of 350 - 750 words
which focuses on how TWO of micro feature(s) (e.g. mise-en-scene,
editing, camerawork and sound) create meanings and generate
responses in a chosen film sequence from the film you researched
for industry (maximum length: 5 minutes).
Film Exploration: Industry (5 marks)

The following will help you understand the film industry so that you
can start researching your film and working on your blog

Production
Activities involved in the actual making of the film

All films begin with an idea which then gets turned into a screenplay
by a screenwriter. Often film narratives [stories] are based on real-
life events, books, plays or old films which are remade, sequelled or
adapted. The screenwriter usually then pitches his/her screenplay
to film studios/production companies or directors who will then
take the screenplay on to the production stage and make the film. If
a film has major stars in it the production budget could easily be
more than $80 million. Generally the screenwriter is paid between
2.5%-5% of this budget, so a screenwriter with a really good
screenplay could expect to earn $1 million.

Distribution
Deciding where a film will be shown and publicising this

Once any film is made it has to travel in order to reach its audience.
Distribution involves acquiring a film from its producers and trying
to make it reach the widest possible audience by selling it to the
places where films are going to be shown—to exhibitors (cinemas).
Distributors need to make sure that when a film reaches its
destination there are lots of people waiting to see it. So, we need to
know about the film before it arrives at its exhibition destination. A
film usually needs to make about two and a half times what it cost to
produce just to ensure it doesn't lose money. Distributors have a
number of roles to fulfil. Firstly, they try to find out what kind of
audiences might want to go and see the film, using test screenings
with test audiences where people are invited to see the film and are
then asked lots of question about it This can lead to changes being
made to the film. Then there's marketing and publicity—posters,
merchandising, festivals and premieres—a summer blockbuster
would cost around $100 million to promote! Finally, timing is very
important when the film is eventually released, particularly as the
opening weekend can account for 50-75% of a film's overall box
office takings.

The distributor also decides the release pattern for the film, release
patterns refer to how often and where film will be shown - general
release is as wide as possible, limited release may only be in
London or specialist cinemas.

Exhibition
Where the film is shown - cinemas of varying types

This is the last of these three interconnected areas and is the point
where we finally get to see the film. The ways in which we view films
are changing rapidly. For example, big Multiplex cinemas are
everywhere now, offering a variety of 'additions' to the cinematic
experience such as fast-food, arcades and bowling alleys as well as
a huge choice of blockbuster films to see. There are less and less
smaller, Independent cinemas and many people choose to watch
films at home on DVD or [legally or illegally) downloaded from the
internet. During the exhibition phase, reviews are very important and
can make or break a film when it reaches the cinema as audiences
may avoid a film which has been negatively reviewed or make an
effort to go and see one that has received positive reviews. This is
not always the case; of course, Titanic critically slated in 1997 but
went on to become one of the most successful films ever made.




So now you know all of that start your blog and use the tick list
      worksheet to help you research your chosen film

                                                I Am Legend

Film GCSE: I Am Legend Section 1

I Am Legend is a 2007 science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence. Here is
a short synopsis of the film.

It is the year 2012. In the ruins of New York City. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is
a military scientist unable to prevent the cause of an incurable man-made virus.
Immune, Neville and his trusted dog, Samantha are now the last survivors in what
is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has
faithfully sent out daily radio messages in his desperate attempt to find any other
survivors who 'might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the
plague - The Infected - lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move...
waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Neville is perhaps mankind's last, best
hope, and he is driven by only one remaining mission, to find a way to reverse the
effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered
and quickly running out of time.

One of the reasons that I pursued this film more than any other mainly revolves
around the fact that Will Smith is my favourite actor; I believe that in any given
situation he can perform at a standard of uppermost excellence. One of the other
attributes of the film that captured my interest was the plot. I believe that this is a
thrilling plot because of the sense of realism, that it is possible for this disaster to
take place. It is frighteningly exhilarating knowing that as technology skyrockets
the possibility of this event will increase by a significant amount. Because of this
reason I found the storyline gripping and exiting.

The sequence of the film that i believe to be most powerful and effective is the
first scene based on the fact that it is instantaneously interesting and from the start
the viewer feels an apocalyptic Aura. A sense of devastation and disaster.
Film GCSE: I Am Legend Section 2

I Am Legend originated from a 1954 science fiction/horror novel by American
writer Richard Matheson. It was influential in the development of the zombie
genre and in popularising the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease.
The novel was a success and was adapted to film as The Last Man on Earth in
1964, as The Omega Man in 1971, and now as we know it I Am Legend in 2007.
The screen play for I Am Legend was implemented by Akiva Goldsman and Mark
Protosevich.

The director Francis Lawrence was born in Vienna, Austria on March 26 1970,
Before Lawrence went into the world of directing he was a co-
director specializing in music videos serving under one Mike Rosen. Lawrence
shot his first music for Michael Blakey President of Atco Records with the band
Tidal Force which became a great success. Soon, Lawrence became known for his
original and imaginative music video scripts and visual directing style. He
eventually joined a major new production company and his successful career as
music video director, having worked with stars like Britney Spears, Black Eyed
Peas, Jay-Z, Aerosmith, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Destiny's Child. In 2005,
his feature film debut was Constantine based on the Hell blazer comic book,
starring Keanu Reeves.
In 2007, he then went onto directing I Am Legend (based on the Richard
Matheson novel), starring Will Smith.
Francis Lawrence has been the director of two films in his directing campaign
however Constantine in 2005 was not of big renown.
He also has two films to come, Water for Elephants is being filmed and The City
that Sailed is in Pre-Production.

There are 4 main characters within I Am Legend; these four characters consisted
of;
The main actor Will Smith (1968) taking on the role of Robert Neville.
Sali Richardson (1967)
Alice Braga( 1983)
and Willow Smith, Will Smiths daughter (2000)

I Am Legend was made by 4 studios, Village Road Show Picture, Weed Road
Pictures, Overbrook Entertainment and Heyday Films. All of these studios have
been noticed in today's latest motion pictures; however, Heyday Films is most
noticeable for producing the well known Harry Potter series. The other studio that
caught my eye is Overbrook Entertainment because the production company was
created by Will Smith between 1997 and 1999 around the time when Will Smith
featured in Wild West. Since then it has served as Will Smiths main production
company releasing films such as I Robot, Hitch, Pursuit of Happiness, I Am
Legend and Hancock. The Title of this company, "Overbrook" is derived from
Will Smith's high school in West Philadelphia, Overbrook High School.

Budget: 150,000,000
Akiva Goldsman decided to move the story from Los Angeles to New York City
to take advantage of locations that would more easily show emptiness. Goldsman
explained, "L.A. looks empty at three o'clock in the afternoon, however New York
is never empty . . . This makes it a much more interesting way of showing the
windswept emptiness of the world." However, the Warner Bros rejected this
request because of the logistics. Francis Lawrence was determined to shoot on
location to give the film a natural feel that would benefit from not shooting on
sound stages. Lawrence persevered and at last gained this advantage.
Filming began on September 23, 2006.
The scenes that I was most intrigued in were the flashback scenes in which the
New York civilians evacuated. This scene contained the view of the famous
Brooklyn Bridge. This scene took six consecutive nights in January and consumed
$5 million of the film's reported $150 million budget, which was likely the most
expensive shot in the city to date. The scene, which had to meet requirements
from fourteen government agencies, involved 250 crew members and 1,000
extras, including 160 National Guard members.

Distribution
I am legend has been given many promotional qualities which present itself to the
public, one of the main publicity and promotional attractions is because of the role
of Robert Neville played as Will Smith. Fans of one Mr. Smith may be enticed by
watching Will Smith in a new film, because of his earlier succession. This creates
allot of enthusiasm of the films release. Also Will Smith is lately renown for
starring in films of heroism that show him as saving the world, this could attract
allot of attention because people know of he's quality. Will Smith gaining this role
is also expanded through the media with things such as interviews trailers and
posters. I am legend also gained much hype for it had been adapted from the novel
by Richard Matheson, a 1954 horror fiction which was then adapted to films, the
last man on earth and then the omega man. This attracts even more viewers from
the old book or film fans. There are also the fan pages that increase the buzz about
the film. I am legend was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros also
distributed the original Omega Man which follows as one of the three i am legend
films.
A tie-in comic from DC Comics and Vertigo Comics has been created, I Am
Legend: Awakening. The project draws upon collaboration from Bill Sienkiewicz.
screenwriter Mark Protosevich, and author Orson Scott Card. The son of the
original book's author, Richard Christian Matheson, also collaborated on the
project. The project will advance from the comic to an online format in which
animated futurities (created by the team from Broken Saints) will be shown on the
official website.
In October 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures in conjunction with the Electric Sheep
Company launched the online multiplayer game I Am Legend: Survival in the
virtual world Second Life. The game is the largest launched in the virtual world in
support of a film release, permitting people to play against each other as the
infected or the uninfected across a replicated 60 acres (240,000 m2) of New York
City. The studio also hired the ad agency Crew Creative to develop a website that
would be specifically viewable on the iPhone.


Merchandise
The certificate of I am Legend is a 15 so it is not suitable for advertisement in
McDonald's, reason being McDonald's is a child friendly environment.
Merchandise vary from I am legend t shirts and jumpers to action figures and i am
legend golf balls. The action figures of Sam and Robert are exclusively produced
by Hasbro. All of this merchandise promotes the film.

Premieres and Release
At the premiere of the anticipated I am legend all stars were accounted for
including Tom Cruise and jade smith accompanying. The premiere in London was
on the 19th December 2007 with the US having their premiere on the 11th of
December 2007.


Film Studies: I Am Legend Section 4

                                   On the 14th December 2007 A. 0. Scott
                                   posted a review of I am Legend
                                   on the New York Times website. He gave a
                                   positive view towards the film stating how
                                   Will Smith is the best of the three actors to
                                   embrace the life of the last man on Earth, the
                                   likes of Vincent Price and Charlton Heston; he
                                   called the overall performance of the film
                                   "There is
graceful and effortless about this performance, which not only shows what it
might feel like to be the last man on earth, but also demonstrates what it is to be
a movie star?" However Scot also quoted that as the film progressed it lost its
unique essence."Once they begin swarming, "I Am Legend" inevitably loses some
of its haunting originality, since they look a lot like the monsters in "28 Days
Later" (and its sequel, "28 Weeks Later"). They also represent a less compelling
application of computer-generated imagery than all those empty avenues and
silent buildings."




                                        David Dylan Thomas also posted a review on I
                                        am Legend, on the website, FilmCritic.com
                                        gave the film a reasonable 6 star rating. He
                                        Thomas explained in his post how he thought
                                        that "I Am Legend maintain the power to
                                        awe. The production design by David Lazan
                                        and Naomi Shohan is nothing short of
                                        amazing", I agree with his review, except
that later on- in his review he criticised how as the plot develops queries are
shown of faith and humanity, however as the final moments draw closer the
information given back is rushed ultimately creating an anti-climax, he said that
the result of these signs are underwhelming.I disagree with this opinion, for the
plot is made intense and overall entertaining because it plays its genre well, the
ending creates tension because the inevitable overrun by zombies was not
foreseen, this complements the thrilling enticing events that create the codes
and conventions of a horror genre. It is unstable and unthinkable.

The film had a budget of $150,000,000, grossing$77,211,321 on its opening
weekend in 3,606 theatres, averaging $21,412 per venue, and placing it at the
top of the box office. This set a record for highest grossing opening for a film for
the month of December. The film grossed $256,393,010 in North America and
$585,349,010 worldwide. The film was the sixth highest grossing film of 2007 in
North America, and as of April 2010 stands among the top 100 all-time highest
grossing films both domestically and worldwide.


The film was released on DVD on March 18, 2008 in two editions: a one-disc
release, including the movie with four animated comics ("Death As a Gift,"
"isolation," "Sacrificing the Few for the Many," and "Shelter"), and other
features; and a two-disc special edition that includes all these extras, an
alternative theatrical version of the movie with an alternate ending, and a digital
copy of the film. Blu- Ray disc was released on 8th April 2008, and on December
9th 2008 a three-disk Ultimate Collector's Edition was also released. The film has
sold 7.04 million DVDs and earned $126.2 million in revenue, making it the sixth
best-selling DVD of 2008. However, Warner Bros was reportedly "a little
disappointed" with the film's performance on the DVD market.
Textual (Micro) Analysis (20 marks)

So now you've learnt about the ways in which your favourite film
was produced, distributed and exhibited, you can now analyse a
sequence from the same film paying attention to one on more of the
micro features. Your chosen sequence should not be more than 5
minutes long

Look at Sarah's analysis below of the ways in which camera framing
and camera movement combine to create meaning in the opening
sequence of Tsotsi.
      • The bold text indicates the parts where she shows her
         understanding of key concepts and when she uses the
         appropriate terminology accurately.
     '•i The italic text indicates the points where she identifies
         camera shots or movement and then goes on to examine the
         meanings/effects that are created by their use.
     fii Finally, and this is very important, the underlined text shows
         the places where Sarah has given her own response to the
         sequence - how it made her feel and why

   An analysis of how camerawork is used In the opening
                    sequence of Tsotsi

The opening scene is introduced with a game which involves dice.
There is a close-up of the dice to symbolise that life is a game
of chance as nobody can choose who their parents are and
how they end up in life sometimes. There is also a repeated
motif of close-ups of hands which could show their working
class background and the fact that they are used to doing
manual labour. It could also show that we all have the power to
change in our hands.

Because of the camera, framing we are able to identify the main
Character who is Tsotsi. He isn't really introduced straight away
until a, powerful dose-up that is emphasised by the music
kicking in at the same time. The non-diegetic sound-track is
parallel to the image of the four boys walking down the street as it
highlights their authority. After we've seen them walking down
the street there is an establishing shot that lets us know the
circumstances they have to live in. It is a high angled shot
indicating that the people in the township are small and
powerless over their surroundings.
After this Tsotsi and his gang go to do a job which seems to be a,
regular occurrence. As they arrive at the train platform there's a,
panning shot so that we can pick them out of the crowd At
first it is hard to see them as they are blending in so as not to
appear suspicious. Another high angled shot, this time looking
down on the crowd and the gang, shows a massive orange banner
centre frame. It is highly noticeable and attracts our
attention straight away as it reads 'HIV affects all of
us' This is a terrible virus that has unfortunately taken its toll on
Africa where, if you are lucky enough not to contract the disease,
you will more than likely know someone who has.

The scene which follows shows the gang scouting for their next
victim. A series of medium shots are used to pick out a range
of possible victims. However, the shot of a chirpy old         is
longer which, instantly tells us that something is going to
happen to him Also he is portrayed as a jolly old man who
smiles as he buys a gift from a stall. We have already formed
an opinion of him and have warmed to him An extreme close-
up then shows us Tsotsi's eyes which show no expression; this
COnnOteS that he has no conscience He stares intently at the
man. It then quickly OditS back to the victim and zooms in on an
envelope of money; here the audience click on to the fact that
Tsotsi is going to steal the money

I think this opening sequence really sets up the story well. We
learn a lot about Tsotsi and his gang, their environment and
what they are about to do through the camerawork. Very little
dialogue is used but a feeling of real tension is built up very
quickly and we want to watch on to find out what will happen
next.
Freddy v. Jason | Level 3
The new line cinema is shown with a red background this represents the
blood as the film has a lot of blood with the murders in it. Freddy needs to
get his powers back as everyone on Elm Street has forgotten him. He
would go into young people's dreams and kill them in their dreams so he
could not be found. But to do so he needs to bring back another person
Jason to make people remember him. He brings Jason back to life by
disguising himself as Jason's mother as he knew Jason would listen to her.
So he makes Jason go out and kill so people would remember about
Freddy.
The lights in the house keep turning on and off this shows that something is
not right and shows that something bad may happen as this will help set
the scene where no one can see anything if it is dark and helps build the
tension for the audience as they do not know what is happening so this is
the best time for something to happen. As Blake is in the kitchen the non-
diegetic music and the fact that there is no lighting builds up the tension.
The only lighting there is, is from the lights and lightning outside.
When the girl is in the prison she falls asleep and wakes up to be in the
prison all by herself. As she leaves the room there is blood marks which
are moving like footsteps, this shows that the lady is getting led to Freddy
as when she gets to the end of the blood there is a young girl and the
young children in the dreams represent Freddy as he used to kill them.
There is a bird's eye view shot to when they are at the party. This helps to
show the audience the setting and what is around the people. The close up
shots on the faces shows the feelings. Many of the close up shots are
when a person is having a dream as this helps to show what is happening
outside of the dream and what is happening in the dream. There is a wide
shot at the end to show Freddy and Jason as they have their fight so the
audience can also see the setting. They are in the centre of the shot so this
shows that they are the main characters during the shot. When the girl
goes into the building at the party she sees Freddy and the camera zooms
in to her face which shows her reaction to seeing Freddy. There is a low
angle shot as she falls down so the audience can see how high she has
fallen from. When Jason sees the two boys there is a POV shot on to the
two boys to show the audience what Jason is seeing.
When         is put on fire at the party, he still continues this shows he
has more power over everyone as he had not been affected by the fire.
People are shouting with fear as they see Jason at the party on fire.
The fight at the end between Freddy and Jason builds the most tension in
the film. They        are       to kill one another but is impossible as they
both are as powerful as each other. There is a low angle show which
shows the arrows falling down on to Jason. As they are fighting the non
diegetic music helps to build the tension for the audience. At the end after
the fight there is fire on the water which may show that Freddy being the
fire and Jason being the water have both come to an end and are dead.
The title of your essay must be written like this:

   Explore the ways in which two micro features of film language
   create meanings and responses in one sequence from (put the
                           film title here)

And start like this:

In this essay I am going to explore the ways in which (name the two
micro features) are used in a sequence of film from (title of film) to
create meanings and responses.


Watch your sequence through at least three times, making notes
 as you do so. You may want to pause the film at certain points,
 or rewind if you think you've missed something. Remember your
 main focus areas but, like Sarah, you may want to mention other
     elements of film language when they combine to create
  meaning. Make sure you use Film terminology a list is included
                             at the end.

Film coursework booklet pt1

  • 1. fllM CNRSEMCN EILA4 STUDIES CCURSEWCRtt CECUIREMENTS: Coursework is 50% of your overall grade 4 MAIN PIECES CE WORK: 1. Exploring a film of the candidate's choice (25 marks) An exploration of the micro features of film language in a short extract from a film of the candidate's choice (350 - 750 words). 2. Pitch and Preproduction (30 marks) Candidates create a pitch for an imaginary film (approximately150 words) and then use it to form the basis of a pre-production chosen from a range of options. 3. Production (35 marks) Create a production chosen from a range of options. 4. Evaluative Analysis (10 marks) A brief evaluative analysis highlighting what candidates have learnt about the main study areas for film from their preproduction and production work (film language, film organisations and audiences). THIS BOOKLET WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH PART ONE OF YOUR COURSEWORK NAME:
  • 2. EXPLORING A EILA4 €P CANDIDATE'S CHOICE This section is made up of 2 parts: Film Exploration: Industry (5 marks) This coursework requires you to explore a film that you have particularly enjoyed and do some brief research into how it was produced, distributed and exhibited. All of your research for the film will be collected on a blog and then put into a specially design pro- forma which will allow you to summarise your findings. This initial piece of work will allow lead into a more detailed consideration of the ways in which the micro features of film language communicate meaning. Steps to completing this coursework: 1. Choose a film - THIS IS THE SAME FILM THAT YOU USED FOR YOUR MICRO ANALYSIS! 2. Research how your film was produced, distributed and exhibited, using the tick list to help you 3. Record all research in a Word document or PowerPoint 4. Include pictures 5. DON'T COPY AND PASTE LARGE AMOUNTS OF TEXT. ONLY WHAT IS NEEDED Textual (Micro) Analysis (20 marks) In class we have looked at a variety of different film sequences and thought about the way in which the film's language is used to create certain meanings and how we respond to those meanings. You should now have the analytical tools and terminology needed to succeed. For this piece of coursework you need to show an understanding the ways in which the micro features are used to communicate meaning. For example, lighting and sound (two of the micro features of film language) can combine to create a particular kind of atmosphere. You are required to produce a written analysis of 350 - 750 words which focuses on how TWO of micro feature(s) (e.g. mise-en-scene, editing, camerawork and sound) create meanings and generate responses in a chosen film sequence from the film you researched for industry (maximum length: 5 minutes).
  • 3. Film Exploration: Industry (5 marks) The following will help you understand the film industry so that you can start researching your film and working on your blog Production Activities involved in the actual making of the film All films begin with an idea which then gets turned into a screenplay by a screenwriter. Often film narratives [stories] are based on real- life events, books, plays or old films which are remade, sequelled or adapted. The screenwriter usually then pitches his/her screenplay to film studios/production companies or directors who will then take the screenplay on to the production stage and make the film. If a film has major stars in it the production budget could easily be more than $80 million. Generally the screenwriter is paid between 2.5%-5% of this budget, so a screenwriter with a really good screenplay could expect to earn $1 million. Distribution Deciding where a film will be shown and publicising this Once any film is made it has to travel in order to reach its audience. Distribution involves acquiring a film from its producers and trying to make it reach the widest possible audience by selling it to the places where films are going to be shown—to exhibitors (cinemas). Distributors need to make sure that when a film reaches its destination there are lots of people waiting to see it. So, we need to know about the film before it arrives at its exhibition destination. A film usually needs to make about two and a half times what it cost to produce just to ensure it doesn't lose money. Distributors have a number of roles to fulfil. Firstly, they try to find out what kind of audiences might want to go and see the film, using test screenings with test audiences where people are invited to see the film and are then asked lots of question about it This can lead to changes being made to the film. Then there's marketing and publicity—posters, merchandising, festivals and premieres—a summer blockbuster would cost around $100 million to promote! Finally, timing is very important when the film is eventually released, particularly as the opening weekend can account for 50-75% of a film's overall box office takings. The distributor also decides the release pattern for the film, release patterns refer to how often and where film will be shown - general
  • 4. release is as wide as possible, limited release may only be in London or specialist cinemas. Exhibition Where the film is shown - cinemas of varying types This is the last of these three interconnected areas and is the point where we finally get to see the film. The ways in which we view films are changing rapidly. For example, big Multiplex cinemas are everywhere now, offering a variety of 'additions' to the cinematic experience such as fast-food, arcades and bowling alleys as well as a huge choice of blockbuster films to see. There are less and less smaller, Independent cinemas and many people choose to watch films at home on DVD or [legally or illegally) downloaded from the internet. During the exhibition phase, reviews are very important and can make or break a film when it reaches the cinema as audiences may avoid a film which has been negatively reviewed or make an effort to go and see one that has received positive reviews. This is not always the case; of course, Titanic critically slated in 1997 but went on to become one of the most successful films ever made. So now you know all of that start your blog and use the tick list worksheet to help you research your chosen film USEFUL WEBSITES TO HELP YOU RESEARCH: www.imbd.com www.filmeducation.org www.hollvwood.com www.impawards.com www.wikipedia.com

  • 6. Sebastian Modos Film Exploration Film Studies I Am Legend Film GCSE: I Am Legend Section 1 I Am Legend is a 2007 science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence. Here is a short synopsis of the film. It is the year 2012. In the ruins of New York City. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a military scientist unable to prevent the cause of an incurable man-made virus. Immune, Neville and his trusted dog, Samantha are now the last survivors in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages in his desperate attempt to find any other survivors who 'might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague - The Infected - lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Neville is perhaps mankind's last, best hope, and he is driven by only one remaining mission, to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time. One of the reasons that I pursued this film more than any other mainly revolves around the fact that Will Smith is my favourite actor; I believe that in any given situation he can perform at a standard of uppermost excellence. One of the other attributes of the film that captured my interest was the plot. I believe that this is a thrilling plot because of the sense of realism, that it is possible for this disaster to take place. It is frighteningly exhilarating knowing that as technology skyrockets the possibility of this event will increase by a significant amount. Because of this reason I found the storyline gripping and exiting. The sequence of the film that i believe to be most powerful and effective is the first scene based on the fact that it is instantaneously interesting and from the start the viewer feels an apocalyptic Aura. A sense of devastation and disaster.
  • 7. Film GCSE: I Am Legend Section 2 I Am Legend originated from a 1954 science fiction/horror novel by American writer Richard Matheson. It was influential in the development of the zombie genre and in popularising the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease. The novel was a success and was adapted to film as The Last Man on Earth in 1964, as The Omega Man in 1971, and now as we know it I Am Legend in 2007. The screen play for I Am Legend was implemented by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich. The director Francis Lawrence was born in Vienna, Austria on March 26 1970, Before Lawrence went into the world of directing he was a co- director specializing in music videos serving under one Mike Rosen. Lawrence shot his first music for Michael Blakey President of Atco Records with the band Tidal Force which became a great success. Soon, Lawrence became known for his original and imaginative music video scripts and visual directing style. He eventually joined a major new production company and his successful career as music video director, having worked with stars like Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Aerosmith, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Destiny's Child. In 2005, his feature film debut was Constantine based on the Hell blazer comic book, starring Keanu Reeves. In 2007, he then went onto directing I Am Legend (based on the Richard Matheson novel), starring Will Smith. Francis Lawrence has been the director of two films in his directing campaign however Constantine in 2005 was not of big renown. He also has two films to come, Water for Elephants is being filmed and The City that Sailed is in Pre-Production. There are 4 main characters within I Am Legend; these four characters consisted of; The main actor Will Smith (1968) taking on the role of Robert Neville. Sali Richardson (1967) Alice Braga( 1983) and Willow Smith, Will Smiths daughter (2000) I Am Legend was made by 4 studios, Village Road Show Picture, Weed Road Pictures, Overbrook Entertainment and Heyday Films. All of these studios have been noticed in today's latest motion pictures; however, Heyday Films is most noticeable for producing the well known Harry Potter series. The other studio that
  • 8. caught my eye is Overbrook Entertainment because the production company was created by Will Smith between 1997 and 1999 around the time when Will Smith featured in Wild West. Since then it has served as Will Smiths main production company releasing films such as I Robot, Hitch, Pursuit of Happiness, I Am Legend and Hancock. The Title of this company, "Overbrook" is derived from Will Smith's high school in West Philadelphia, Overbrook High School. Budget: 150,000,000 Akiva Goldsman decided to move the story from Los Angeles to New York City to take advantage of locations that would more easily show emptiness. Goldsman explained, "L.A. looks empty at three o'clock in the afternoon, however New York is never empty . . . This makes it a much more interesting way of showing the windswept emptiness of the world." However, the Warner Bros rejected this request because of the logistics. Francis Lawrence was determined to shoot on location to give the film a natural feel that would benefit from not shooting on sound stages. Lawrence persevered and at last gained this advantage. Filming began on September 23, 2006. The scenes that I was most intrigued in were the flashback scenes in which the New York civilians evacuated. This scene contained the view of the famous Brooklyn Bridge. This scene took six consecutive nights in January and consumed $5 million of the film's reported $150 million budget, which was likely the most expensive shot in the city to date. The scene, which had to meet requirements from fourteen government agencies, involved 250 crew members and 1,000 extras, including 160 National Guard members.

  • 10. Film Studies: I Am Legend Section 3 Distribution I am legend has been given many promotional qualities which present itself to the public, one of the main publicity and promotional attractions is because of the role of Robert Neville played as Will Smith. Fans of one Mr. Smith may be enticed by watching Will Smith in a new film, because of his earlier succession. This creates allot of enthusiasm of the films release. Also Will Smith is lately renown for starring in films of heroism that show him as saving the world, this could attract allot of attention because people know of he's quality. Will Smith gaining this role is also expanded through the media with things such as interviews trailers and posters. I am legend also gained much hype for it had been adapted from the novel by Richard Matheson, a 1954 horror fiction which was then adapted to films, the last man on earth and then the omega man. This attracts even more viewers from the old book or film fans. There are also the fan pages that increase the buzz about the film. I am legend was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros also distributed the original Omega Man which follows as one of the three i am legend films. A tie-in comic from DC Comics and Vertigo Comics has been created, I Am Legend: Awakening. The project draws upon collaboration from Bill Sienkiewicz. screenwriter Mark Protosevich, and author Orson Scott Card. The son of the original book's author, Richard Christian Matheson, also collaborated on the
  • 11. project. The project will advance from the comic to an online format in which animated futurities (created by the team from Broken Saints) will be shown on the official website. In October 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures in conjunction with the Electric Sheep Company launched the online multiplayer game I Am Legend: Survival in the virtual world Second Life. The game is the largest launched in the virtual world in support of a film release, permitting people to play against each other as the infected or the uninfected across a replicated 60 acres (240,000 m2) of New York City. The studio also hired the ad agency Crew Creative to develop a website that would be specifically viewable on the iPhone. Merchandise The certificate of I am Legend is a 15 so it is not suitable for advertisement in McDonald's, reason being McDonald's is a child friendly environment. Merchandise vary from I am legend t shirts and jumpers to action figures and i am legend golf balls. The action figures of Sam and Robert are exclusively produced by Hasbro. All of this merchandise promotes the film. Premieres and Release At the premiere of the anticipated I am legend all stars were accounted for including Tom Cruise and jade smith accompanying. The premiere in London was on the 19th December 2007 with the US having their premiere on the 11th of December 2007. Film Studies: I Am Legend Section 4 On the 14th December 2007 A. 0. Scott posted a review of I am Legend on the New York Times website. He gave a positive view towards the film stating how Will Smith is the best of the three actors to embrace the life of the last man on Earth, the likes of Vincent Price and Charlton Heston; he called the overall performance of the film "There is
  • 12. graceful and effortless about this performance, which not only shows what it might feel like to be the last man on earth, but also demonstrates what it is to be a movie star?" However Scot also quoted that as the film progressed it lost its unique essence."Once they begin swarming, "I Am Legend" inevitably loses some of its haunting originality, since they look a lot like the monsters in "28 Days Later" (and its sequel, "28 Weeks Later"). They also represent a less compelling application of computer-generated imagery than all those empty avenues and silent buildings." David Dylan Thomas also posted a review on I am Legend, on the website, FilmCritic.com gave the film a reasonable 6 star rating. He Thomas explained in his post how he thought that "I Am Legend maintain the power to awe. The production design by David Lazan and Naomi Shohan is nothing short of amazing", I agree with his review, except that later on- in his review he criticised how as the plot develops queries are shown of faith and humanity, however as the final moments draw closer the information given back is rushed ultimately creating an anti-climax, he said that the result of these signs are underwhelming.I disagree with this opinion, for the plot is made intense and overall entertaining because it plays its genre well, the ending creates tension because the inevitable overrun by zombies was not foreseen, this complements the thrilling enticing events that create the codes and conventions of a horror genre. It is unstable and unthinkable. The film had a budget of $150,000,000, grossing$77,211,321 on its opening weekend in 3,606 theatres, averaging $21,412 per venue, and placing it at the top of the box office. This set a record for highest grossing opening for a film for the month of December. The film grossed $256,393,010 in North America and $585,349,010 worldwide. The film was the sixth highest grossing film of 2007 in North America, and as of April 2010 stands among the top 100 all-time highest
  • 13. grossing films both domestically and worldwide. The film was released on DVD on March 18, 2008 in two editions: a one-disc release, including the movie with four animated comics ("Death As a Gift," "isolation," "Sacrificing the Few for the Many," and "Shelter"), and other features; and a two-disc special edition that includes all these extras, an alternative theatrical version of the movie with an alternate ending, and a digital copy of the film. Blu- Ray disc was released on 8th April 2008, and on December 9th 2008 a three-disk Ultimate Collector's Edition was also released. The film has sold 7.04 million DVDs and earned $126.2 million in revenue, making it the sixth best-selling DVD of 2008. However, Warner Bros was reportedly "a little disappointed" with the film's performance on the DVD market.
  • 14. Textual (Micro) Analysis (20 marks) So now you've learnt about the ways in which your favourite film was produced, distributed and exhibited, you can now analyse a sequence from the same film paying attention to one on more of the micro features. Your chosen sequence should not be more than 5 minutes long Look at Sarah's analysis below of the ways in which camera framing and camera movement combine to create meaning in the opening sequence of Tsotsi. • The bold text indicates the parts where she shows her understanding of key concepts and when she uses the appropriate terminology accurately. '•i The italic text indicates the points where she identifies camera shots or movement and then goes on to examine the meanings/effects that are created by their use. fii Finally, and this is very important, the underlined text shows the places where Sarah has given her own response to the sequence - how it made her feel and why An analysis of how camerawork is used In the opening sequence of Tsotsi The opening scene is introduced with a game which involves dice. There is a close-up of the dice to symbolise that life is a game of chance as nobody can choose who their parents are and how they end up in life sometimes. There is also a repeated motif of close-ups of hands which could show their working class background and the fact that they are used to doing manual labour. It could also show that we all have the power to change in our hands. Because of the camera, framing we are able to identify the main Character who is Tsotsi. He isn't really introduced straight away until a, powerful dose-up that is emphasised by the music kicking in at the same time. The non-diegetic sound-track is parallel to the image of the four boys walking down the street as it highlights their authority. After we've seen them walking down the street there is an establishing shot that lets us know the circumstances they have to live in. It is a high angled shot indicating that the people in the township are small and powerless over their surroundings.
  • 15. After this Tsotsi and his gang go to do a job which seems to be a, regular occurrence. As they arrive at the train platform there's a, panning shot so that we can pick them out of the crowd At first it is hard to see them as they are blending in so as not to appear suspicious. Another high angled shot, this time looking down on the crowd and the gang, shows a massive orange banner centre frame. It is highly noticeable and attracts our attention straight away as it reads 'HIV affects all of us' This is a terrible virus that has unfortunately taken its toll on Africa where, if you are lucky enough not to contract the disease, you will more than likely know someone who has. The scene which follows shows the gang scouting for their next victim. A series of medium shots are used to pick out a range of possible victims. However, the shot of a chirpy old is longer which, instantly tells us that something is going to happen to him Also he is portrayed as a jolly old man who smiles as he buys a gift from a stall. We have already formed an opinion of him and have warmed to him An extreme close- up then shows us Tsotsi's eyes which show no expression; this COnnOteS that he has no conscience He stares intently at the man. It then quickly OditS back to the victim and zooms in on an envelope of money; here the audience click on to the fact that Tsotsi is going to steal the money I think this opening sequence really sets up the story well. We learn a lot about Tsotsi and his gang, their environment and what they are about to do through the camerawork. Very little dialogue is used but a feeling of real tension is built up very quickly and we want to watch on to find out what will happen next.
