2. FILMING
We thought that it was a good idea that we re-filmed some of the
scenes of our opening title sequence with me acting in them
as personally they did not look adequate enough to give off
the sophisticated impression of an opening title sequence
and this meant that they looked no where near an existing
product. In the first case I don't feel I was completely
comfortable acting so before we even started the mind set
was not fully there. But, instead of analysing mistakes we
thought go with the same impression but, like our feedback
stated make the opening titles funnier as it was too serious
for a comedy.
We re-filmed the opening title sequence essentially by getting
Daisy's brother to play the spy and this worked really well.
Our first idea was that Sam would walk behind a car and
then when walking from the other side his clothes changed
to a suit. As suit is a iconographical convention of a spy s
worked very well and I feel that us having the suit to use
was great as it meant that it fitted the genre more as before
none of the suits worn were black they were either dark blue
or grey.
3. MORE DESCRIPTION
I think also that the idea of using a car gives the spy more of a
sense of power as it essentially meant hat the spy was
empowered as he had a sense of transport. The foundation
of the small narrative anecdote through film was a very
good idea on behalf of Daisy as it gave the impression of a
sense if secrecy as the change was behind an obstacle- it
also initiates enigmas to why this has happened in the first
place which is quite interesting.
We also added scene which replicated the conventional style of
James Bond by having Sam sat at a table and then drink
from a martini lass which gave he impression of wealth and
a sense of empowerment over females. Unfortunately none
f the females would parlay the female maid part because
they didn't feel comfortable but, this would have worked
well at indicating a male gaze if it did happen. The fact at
the soy winks with the glass gives the impression of
humour almost like he is laughing at the expense of saving
life's.
thing hat was lacking before is now there which was the acting
and scenes and locations as well as se props. I feel also
that without even knowing today's filming was much better
as there was less of an urgency to fit it into a certain small
time as we spend hours filming things over again until they
was entirely prefect.
4. CARRIED ON….
Like Miss Whittaker suggested that he should be more foolish
we did try this especially when he was heading after a
villain and then hid behind a thin tree, this made him
seem rather foolish and stupid and this is exactly what
we set out to do when Ms Whittaker suggested the then
improvements. We also made sure that thee was more of
an impression of a villain as in any spy film there is a
binary opposition to the saviour which is the villain. For
this exact reason I strangled him and Nicola opposed as
a threat by trying to shoot him.
We also tried to keep shots that our inspirations had such as
shots of him turning with a gun but, we made sure that
we had enough of those so that some indicated a sense
of comedy and some professional. I hnk that the gun for
these scenes worked really well as it shined in the light.
5. SUMMARY
Overall, I feel that the filming was a success. For one it was out of school
and this meant that it did not replicate corridors, it also meant that the
thing hat was lacking before is now there which was the acting and
scenes and locations as well as se props. I feel also that without even
knowing today's filming was much better as there was less of an
urgency to fit it into a certain small time as we spend hours filming
things over again until they was entirely prefect.
