Location

The location that we are filming is in Shepherds Bush. The scene begins in an alley that has a blue gate at the end. The alley is in the new university building next to my house where we have permission to use their back entrance for filming. Then we will film the scene with the Main Running down Eynham Road. We picked it because it is where the university building is and it is calm enough for no one to interfere with our filming. The park (Wormwood Scrubs) is perfect because it’s huge and if we need to lengthen the time of the shots we won’t run out of ground for the Main Character to run on. Also the playground is great for filming high angle shots due to the play equipment.

shooting schedule

The group has decided to meet up on the 23rd of January (Sat) 2010 at Wood Lane Station at 10:00 am to start our shoot in the areas that we have decided on, we can all contact each other via mobile phone. Later dates will be discussed when we have finished our first day of shooting.

Casting

Main Characters

The main character in our film is Alexi; he is a young Asian under cover agent for Scotland Yard, which has been working for the metropolitan police for 6 years. At the start of the scene we see Alexi wondering around in the back alleys of London and it is part of the mystery of the film why he is in the area at the time of the incident. He is dressed smartly how ether still casually making him look well presented and a high member of society. We then see Alexi perform a variety of fitness tests including jumping over a fence and sprinting through a crowd this tells the audience that this is not any old agent that sits behind a desk whilst at work and the way he walks, runs and his posture all confirm that he is athletic.

The second character in our film is Henry; although we do not see a clear image of the character in our clip the audience sees a silhouette of the character in a dark room, we hear the character speak over the phone to the main character “shut up! Who gave you permission to talk?” making him sound like a dark cold-hearted person who wants to be in power of the whole situation.

Extras

We have two extras also on set, which include Stephan, a young Caribbean male and Milan also a young Indian who are acting as part of the pubic and come across as innocent people who are caught up in action. Both of which are wearing typical casual clothing, which include jeans and a jacket, both of them are ordinary members of the public and were casually hanging around in London.We have also used members of the public in our scene and the audience can see the use of members of the public in use as the background of our clip, which include a number of everyday people on the street of London.

James Bond From Russia With Love

The scene starts of in a dark garden with a male dressed in a smart suit walking slowly over a bridge as the camera pans along side him with the diegetic ambient sound of nature with owls howling and the wind swaying the trees. we then see the face of the character and identify him as James Bond.
the camera then moves to another character however we see a close up of his feet as he moves emphasising the fact that he is stealthy and silently moving although as yet we cannot identify the person.














The camera then moves back to James Bond and we see a close up of his face, we see in his facial expressions that he knows that he is either being followed or someone is out to kill him.










We then see another shot of the unknown male once again only seeing a close up shot of the persons feet walking up a fight of stairs, which also adds tension to the scene as the audience at this moment in time do not know who this is. After this shot we finally see a long shot of the unknown male agent on the bridge that James Bond had crossed. the audience can now identify the new agent as a tall short blond hair male.


We then see the blonde male load his gun and the sound then echos through the garden making James Bond aware of the fact that someone has now got a loaded gun. we then see a medium shot of James Bond handling his gun out of his suit pocket whislt being tracked by the camera as he lurks in and out of the low lighted area, this keeps the audience at the edge of there seats as it adds tension to the scene. We then see another medium shot as James Bond shoots into thin air with his hand gun which seems out of the ordiary as the audience know James Bond as a silent killer. At this exact time the James Bond theme tuned is played which adds alot of suspence as it is played just after the gunshot is herd.












We then see a over the shoulder shot of the blonde agent and in the background we can see James Bond, we see a medium shot of the blonde agent getting a long piece of wire from what seems like his watch and carefully hide in the the low lighted bush area.We see a medium shot of James Bond lurking into the bushes and as the camera pans around to folow James Bond he gets violent strangled at this presice time the score increases in volume as suspence is at an all time high in the clip.












We then see a dozen spot lights turn on and light up the whole set it is clear to the audience now that this was all set in a country mansion house garden. the camera tilts over the two agents and the large mansion can be seen light up by the light with about fifty agents dressed in black guarding the house from all sides making the audience intrested in what is going on.



A man dressed in a smart suit then walks upto the blonde agent and we see a medium shot of the new smartly dressed man tell the blonde agent that he done well and only took one minute and fifty seconds.The camera then tilts as the new man pulls of qa mask off what the audience thought was Jmaes Bond, giving the audience a sigh of relief that there hero has not really died. the camera then tilts back up to the courtyard and we see all the agents walk sharply back into the house as the dead body just lifelessly lays on the floor.



The tittle then start to role which seems weird as normally the tittle is right at the beggning of the film along side the director, main characters, and producers.This was a good way to begin a thriller genre film mainly because of the fact the film has pulled the audience into it already right from the very start and makes the audience want to find out what is going to happen in the film.
