Warner Bros. Pictures would be a suitable distributor for the film because they have experience distributing big budget action films similar in genre to the one being proposed. Though the film has a big budget, it features smaller independent actors, an approach Warner Bros. has taken before. Warner Bros. is also experienced with the action elements involved like explosions and firearms that will be used. The filmmakers chose Warner Bros. to associate with their independent production company Vendetta Productions to give the film credibility and appeal of a major Hollywood production.
This document analyzes how a media product represents social groups through its characters and scenes. It describes several key moments: 1) A scene shows a government logo, establishing a spy is breaking in as part of a government plot. 2) A high-ranking official's suit indicates his social status. 3) The official recognizes the spy, showing they have a past relationship. 4) The official chases after the spy seriously but then calls his name, clarifying their connection to the audience. 5) A screenshot is compared to the film The Bourne Identity, showing similarities between the large, suppressed guns used by professional assassins.
Our media product uses the conventions of an action thriller genre by including a stock narrative of a government kidnapping plot, a dark setting of an abandoned house, and a former government employee character. We developed these genres forms through a gradually increasing pace and included iconography like dark suits, guns, and technology to signify the action and government themes. While we were largely successful using these codes, some felt the slow start did not clearly indicate it was an action thriller. Faster pacing earlier may have better conveyed the genre.
During filming, the document discusses tools used to improve film quality, including:
- A camera, where the document discusses learning camera modes for different lighting.
- A tripod, which was crucial for keeping the camera steady while filming.
- A gun microphone, which helped achieve better sound quality but required pointing it at speakers.
- A voice recorder, used for broadcasting to get higher quality sound than a phone.
- A boom shield, used with the voice recorder to reduce interference and emphasize words smoothly.
