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.

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.

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.

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.
