Soundtrack

We decided to use this soundtrack in the end as we feel it gives more of a thrill to the audience and can fit in very nicely with the Action/Adventure opening sequence. I uploaded it to sound cloud so it can be used very easily and easily accessible for when we need it. Also, since its on sound cloud we could get comments to see how good it is.

Improved Animatic



We improved our animatic according to the feedback we got from our peers. One thing they said to improve was the soundtrack, they said it did not go with the vibe of the film but it felt more like a jungle themed film. We changed the soundtrack to a more gritty city based theme which goes very nicely with the style of the film. Another improvement we have to do is finish it which we did so the opening sequence will make sense. Now, the opening should make it clear on what is going on.

Location shots

The first scene in the opening extract will be shown here when the camera will eventually zoom into a document with the protagonists name and picture on it. We want it to be based here as this location is based in a rural area and will provide a great opening. We may use a different location as we discuss the technical side of things when filming. However, this is our initial idea of where we want our first scene to be. 







These are alleys we will use to shoot our chase sequence. This location will provide a place for a close chase with a few obstacles which will make the audience excited. We will also be able to use many different types of shots due to my garage/shed being placed in the alley so we can get a few high angle shots and maybe a pan of the area

Titles and Production Ident Summary

This is the sound effect i added to my production ident. It is a door slowly creaking which i got from freesound.org



This is the 'pictures' which pops up at the end. This goes in time with the sound effect as the door closes at a certain point and makes a loud bang.




This is the key framing i used to make the 'jailbreak' swing round from the right to centre. This also matches the sound effect as the door creeks whilst it swings round and stops when the door slam.


This is the back ground picture i added which i got from google images. This links to the production company as it is called jailbreak and this shows a man behind bars.

Character development- Side-Kick

Character development- Main character

We began to go through our character development, and as you can see at this point were are working out the characters personality and how he will act. This will all play apart in making our opening sequence more typical of the genre; plus it would be easier to portray the character if we construct him from the inside out.



We wanted to experiment with names so we came across this website which allowed us to look up action hero names to put in our film. Here are a couple of examples

My Distribution company


Studiocanal was the right type of distribution company for my film as it is mainly based around action and thriller movies which was the same as my genre of film.

Studiocanal films:
Non-Stop- An Action/thriller, budget = $50 million.
Cliffhanger- An Action Adventure genre, budget = $60 million
Robocop- Sci-fi Action genre, budget = $100-300 million
Six Bullets- Action genre ,budget = $10 million
Taken 2- Action/Thriller, budget = $45 million
Jonny English- Action/comedy, budget = $45 million, Also set in England

Lots of Studiocanal's films have some sort of action element to them and lots of the main genre of the film is action. This matches my genre that I will be trying to film and therefore makes it a suitable choice of production company. Also lots of Studiocanal's films are relativity low budget which is better for me as I cannot afford to make a Hollywood blockbuster. A low budget film for an action adventure theme is usually anything below $50 million.
