The  title screen of our film is meant to be metal like it is a bullet or a gun. Also the title is bold so that it stand out to the audience. It also shows that the film it is an action film, because real action movies use fonts which are big and bold and stand out out the audience. This also shows the audience that it is an action film as well.

For the setting the film was mostly at the bridge, which we thought was a good place for the fight scene because it was outside and we had more space to do the fight scene, plus it was a lot more better than doing a fight scene inside the house because it would of been harder to get good camera shots because it is a small space.




The clothes that we are wearing are not what we are supposed to be. We are supposed to be policemen but we had no police uniform, so we decided that we would be undercover policemen that are patrolling a neighborhood. To compare with big action movies i'd say that it doesn't really matter that we don't have the uniform because it look a lot more better when we fight in the clothes we are in, however it would of been better if we did have a better style of clothes rather than coats and jeans.






We tried to use lots of screen shots in our film to make it look more like an action movie. So we make it look like it is fast paced especially when it comes to the fight scene. Like real action movies they have lots of shots of one fight sequence, this shows that they can use a range of shots. That's what we did so we can show that we can use a bunch of shots well to make the film look good.




The font  title is bold so that it stand out to the audience. It also shows that the film it is an action film, because real action movies use fonts which are big and bold and stand out out the audience.

The story is about two policemen who are patrolling the street one day and they get a phone call saying that there has been a murder close to them. They then rush to go and see what is going on, when they arrive they discover a body in the house. Suddenly a man runs straight out of the gate. it then goes straight in to a chase, where they end up on a bridge and have a battle 2 against one. It then ends with the bad guy getting beaten. The opening sets it up well because it shows that we serious by the phone call we get. This makes the introduction seem very intense and sets up a good point for when we find the body.


The genre of the film is a intense action movie, the opening suggests it by showing an intense scene of getting a phone call, The music gets serious all of a sudden this gives it a good feeling to the audience by making it feel intense. By getting the phone call we try to make it seem serious so it gives the audience the feel that something really bad has happened.



The characters are introduced in different ways, one way that we introduced one character was by using the phone call, when Matt answers the phone it makes the audience focus on him instead of the other character. The second protagonist is introduced by discovering a dead body and says "he is dead". Finally the antagonist is introduced when he starts running out of the house to try and get away from the protagonists. These are good ways to introduce them because they are quick paced introductions which is good for an action movie.

The main special effects that we used was mainly the punch noise during the fight scene, it gives a good effect to the fight scene. For example in the picture when i do the kick we add in a kick sound and a sound when Conor dodges the kick. After that we add in a hit sound when he gets kicked down too the ground. Overall it makes it a great fight scene.
