Vindictive - Stereotypes

Stereotypes in Our Film

We tried to make our Heroes as close to action heroes as we possibly could, we tried to act tough when we got the phone call. So when we got the phone call we ran straight away to the scene like we are trying to look like we care about people. When the body is found we go down to see if he has a pulse, when we find out he doesn't we make it look like we are sad but soon we forget about the body and go out to chase the bad guy.

Also we tried to make them fighters. When we go into the fight scene we try to make the heroes look really good at fighting by making them do all kind of fancy moves for example a round house kick, which is when the person spins around and kicks out from behind. This shows that they have a good knowledge of fighting and that they are experienced fighters so people should be careful when fighting them.

The Bad guy that we are fighting in our film is a assassin, so he has been in the military in the past and has a lot of experience in fighting. So he is a trained killer who is taking care of a persons problem. In this scene we make him look very aggressive to the heroes because of the way he fights. He fights very professionally in the film, he blocks and dodges most of the the hits thrown at him.

Overall the heroes are the ones that come out in the end defeating him by a Knock Out scene, but the bad guy is the one who is the better fighter out of the three and is the one who is intended to be more tougher than the other characters.

The clothes that we wore were not very close to what action heroes wear we wore coats,jeans and trainers, which is not accurate to normal action hero clothes, they are usually in soldier uniforms and suits, Sometimes they can wear normal clothes but that is usually when they are a undercover cop or a secret agent.

Action film - Online Editing Tutorial

Online editing Tutorials

For our editing of the film we used Adobe Premiere Elements 10 which is a software that lets you create films by putting clips together. For our research on how to edit we looked up "adobe premiere elements 10 tutorial" and came up with a video called "Getting started with Adobe Premiere element 10" and is by the YouTube channel Youthdigitalstudio.

In the video it shows you how to start up a new project and how to put clips into the software. It does this in great detail and explains it very well. He also tells you what tools are on there and they can do to improve your film. He talks about the timeline which is most probably the most important tool in the software it is where you put all of you video, audio and text files to edit it. Another useful tip that he shows is the arrow tool on the timeline which shows the where the line is on the timeline, which is useful because then you can see what part you are editing in the film. Also he explains how to cut the video file, how to make it shorter what to do if you have messed up on the timeline and want to undo it. All this information is a good starter for us to edit our film and make it look very good and professional like a real action movie

The text tool is also explained in the film as well so how you can edit the text move it around with the arrow to a place of your liking which is useful for making the title of the film.

He also does go into a lot of detail on how to the effects on the screen like blur,make it look more dynamic, and how to change the color of the clip. For example you can change it from color to black and white which is good if you want to make your clip look like a flash back.

Stereotyping in action Films

Stereotypes in action films
There are many stereotypes in action films which make it look like the action hero is invincible.

One Stereotype is that the action heroes are never scared of getting into a fight, so if they are trying to get something then they wont back down to try and win it. For example if a bad guy has stolen from them then they will fight them and try and win to make sure that the bad guy doesn't get away. This also is the same for a chase scene they will try their best to get them and take them down.

Another Stereotype for a action hero is that they are amazing fighters, when they get into a fight they can block every attack that the bad guy is throwing at them, and when he gets hit he takes it like it was nothing, and when he hits the bad guy he gets hurt really badly. Also when the hero is in a car chase or is being fired upon he doesn't get hurt really badly he gets a scratch.

Some Action heroes are usually reckless so when they go into a fight they usually get beaten up and are in a dangerous situation later on in the film. However they always end up beating the bad guy in the end by hitting them with an object or getting a weapon at the last minute for example a gun and shoots the person.

They usually have a lot of skills which people wouldn't usually need, for example they know how to fight against brilliant martial artists, they know how to hack a computer with ease. When hacking a computer it makes them look very intelligent, so if there is a firewall which is impossible to hack they can do it within about 5 minutes when it would usually take people hours or even months to hack.

The hero is also very masculine, so he is very built up and is very muscular, so he looks like he can take anyone in a fight. Also he usually likes getting into fights because it gives him adrenaline so he might get into fights or fun. Also they have very good aim with guns and can usually hit a target from far away without even looking at the person. Or if they have just been in a fight they pick up the gun and have perfect aim after they have been nearly beaten to death.

Production Title Analysis

Production Title

The Production title was made on adobe premiere elements 10. We used this program because it is the easiest software to use  and it is the only one provided to us which gives the tools we need to make it look good.

At first I got a picture from the internet of a random picture, in this case we used the Aurora lights, we used this because it is a nice picture to use and it makes it look professional. 

After i put it onto the software i add the text box onto the image, this then shows a timeline at the bottom of the software where we edit the image and text. 

The blue line is the Video file even though it is a picture, the purple lines are the text which are added over the top.

The reason for why they are above each other is because then you can make them show up at the times you want foe example Title 08 enters in after 2 seconds this  is a good way to make the animation look good and professional

After this i put the text over the top by using the text button at the bottom of the screen this then creates a timeline bar for the text, which is the purple the line.

After i put them all in the right place for example I made the picture file last for 5 seconds which is the full length of the production credits, so for the first letter which is "C" we made it start at the same time as the video. Then the second letter comes in at around 1 second and lasts to the end. It is the same for the rest of the text as well. 

The final screen should look like this with the full animation, CWP Films which is all of our Surnames and then films.
