R&P urban/action movie
Fast Five- 2010
Fast Five is an action film, this is very closely linked to the the opening two minutes of our film assignment and the main reason as to why I chose to analyze this was the fact that althought the film had reached it's fifth installment in the series the consistency is mindblowing. This movie has an element of suspense as well as excitement, so my group and I have discussed as to having some surprise elements for the audience which would inturn help the whole opening have a jaw-dropping effect.
R&P Sound tracks to implement
I have sampled many soundtracks, fast paced, gradual noise building up, I have come across the non-copyright soundtrack 'Clubbed to Death'. It starts off slowly, then builds with added tension, givng an electrical like surge into the audience, of course we can adjust some of the music in accordance to the opening of our film but it is nothing that isn't easy to do.
Action movie - Prince of Persia 2010
Prince of Persia as an american fantasy/action/romance film, as the film is easily related to the urban action genre of the opening two minutes film assignment. One of the key factors as to why I have chosen to have a look at this trailer was the sound and music used to set the pace of certain action scenes, these elements really fit in well as our genre is action as well. As the movie is very fast paced, set in a different time-zone, setting and time I was intruiged as to how it dragged the audience of this time into it's trance. My group and I have planned top use some soft music at the beginning, then gradually building up to fast paced sound to give the audience and the scene a real sense of urgency, and off-the-seat impulses.

Opening two minutes from tombirdsall
Above is a power point showing our planning of our opening two minutes of a movie. What we have included is basically the research into mise-en-scene as our powerpoint talks about costumes, props and location which are all sectors looked at when looking into mise-en-scene.

Research and Planning- Action Movie
Bad Boys 2
The first two minutes are quite vague, with the lighting being dimmed, showing drugs being manufactured in secrecy an obvious crime against the law. The next scene shows the two main characters, joking around with each other displaying an element of comedy, which fits in all this serious atmosphere which was created before. Even though the film assignment is an action genre, my group and I have discussed some possible scene displaying some secrecy being shared with only the audience. Overall, we have a good idea as to what we are prepared for and what things need tightening up.

G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation
As I could not find the first two minutes of this movie i was able to take out some blockbusting elements from it, which in turn have inspired my group and i to experiment with different flash features and exploding effects within our two minute film assignment. As i was watching this trailer i realized that the genre chosen being action, we could implement some WOW factors to really grab the audience's attention, little effects like scenes with violence could have slow motion and more than usual blood used to exaggerate the situation of the victim and add that extra dimension to our assignment, I am referring to fake blood, not real obviously, another thing that i realized was that we should not add too much and stay in distance with the planning and time management.

Faster 2010
The movie starts off dark, mysterious feeling, until realization of dwayne johnson (the actor) being held in a cell of a prison becomes clear. He is looking at a picture, walking with pace, from one end of the cell to the other, getting faster and faster, growing more and more impatient by the second, as if something is going to happen, the whole picture becomes clear that he was waiting to be released, I mean wouldn't anyone? anyway, the lighting utilized at first was natural, as the light was not on in the cell, it explains as to why he was in the dark in the first instance. The lighting obviously becomes more stronger giving the effect that he was moving onto cleaner pastures. Expletives were being shouted at him by other cell mates, typical behaviour you would expect from convicts, even if it is being negatively stereotypical. The whole setting looks flawless, and the dark suspenseful music really gives it that fear factor. I am going to take into consideration as to what type and kind of music i will use in the film assignment, after discussing it with my group, another element I am willing to introduce is mystery and secrecy to give the assignment that 'fear factor'.

Mood Board
Definitions of pictures:
1. The gun immediately shows a sign of danger and seriousness, a no-nonsense attitude is also depicted from this picture.
2. The hoodie stereo-typically shows a youthful troublesome character, giving plenty of room for speculation as to whether the chosen genre would be of controlled or unconditional violence.
3. The handcuffs immediately show that the dark side of the story-line showing real criminal intent.
4. The dark alley-way also shows a fearful face, which helps venomously, to create a blood pulsing effect on the audience.
5. The picture shows the setting as being very urban, at night, giving off a statement, that there is nowhere to hide.
6. The bundles of cash show that the characters may be serious game players in the underworld, street business and all that which goes with it.
7. The balaclava instantly sets the audience guessing as to who the attacker/thief/bad guy is, the balaclava also connotes secrecy, covering the face from existence, visibility and recognition.
8. The knuckle dusters display the image of pure violence, damage, hatred towards the victim or otherwise.
9. The dark hand instantaneously gives a dark and blind feeling to the audience as well as the light pouring down on the knife, a weapon of murder may just shake the audience off their pulsating heartbeat.
10. The smashed glass displays visible damage to the audience as well as the vague figure of who carried out the act is far from being able to see, this plays around with the audience's minds contributing to the whole scheme of things.
11. The splattered blood connotes instant suggestions as to where it came from and how, questions become definite as answers are not provided.
12. This picture is easy to figure out, the violence is enough, but three times the violence on one person is horrific, creating an element of 'feeling sorry' for the victim, deployed from the audience.
