Homework

This is one of the fight sequences from the film 300. I think the music in this really helps adds tension to it and make the action work a lot better with the transition between slow motion and normal speed. The war cries of the Spartans make them sound very vicious where as the screams of the Persians make them seem very weak in comparison which I think is one of the reasons this film works, you get to see the massive amounts of difference that quality has over quantity. I feel the sound really helps to emphasise this through out the entire movie though especially in this scene.

This is from the film Tenacious D and the pick of destiny. The contrast of sound in this I feel work very well, with when he’s tripping and when he is in reality really works to make people laugh. The happy music in the dream land is also slightly childish which helps to show how jack reacts to it. The childish music also how easily entertained and how easily influenced he is and shows something about the personality of the character. It also really helps to make this film funny as with out music this scene wouldn’t be very amusing and it’d just be weird

Mise-en-scene

Good gun use
The empty room had a good effect made you focus on the radio
typical dress of a hero - tank top and bandage added to this effect

Cinematography

lots of different shots, good mixture
good close up shots
point of view shot of gun should of been more in the middle
shot of radio wobbles
nice point of view shop
nice shot of lighter being the source of light

Editing

match on action shots not acurate
radio shot, jumps, should be continuous shot

Sound

couldn't hear what was said on radio, to muffled
we couldn't under stand eithert
good use of diagetic sound on the radio, however it's unclear

Film Story Plot

Set in a zombie Britain there’s a few survivors left in Cambridge and there isolated from each other. The remaining government workers send out a broadcast saying there’s a boat in Dover leaving in a two days time however there’s only 200 spaces left on the boat and the remaining spaces are allocated by a first come first served.

The hero in our story hears this just after he’s been forced to killed his only daughter after she had been infected but a lone zombie, he is just about to give up on life and commit suicide when he hears the broadcast and he decides he’s going to live for his daughter and so sets off for Dover, how ever groups of other survivors are killing other remaining survivors they encounter to increase their chances of escaping from Britain.

Our hero manages to join up with a group of survivors but he is forced to help kill other survivors which shows the dog eat dog world in its prime.
They meet up with a large family, the group butcher them and take everything that could be considered valuable, the hero then sees a girl that reminds him of his daughter and he is disgusted with himself and decides to leave the group and continue alone but the group attack and he get hurt by them/injures himself while running he then stumbles into a room to hide while he recovers he then wakes up and he’s surrounded by infected, he has to fight his way out.

He then proceeds to go to Dover only to find the remains of the group being attacked by the infected he then run's to try and help them only to save the leader of the group who tried to kill our hero they then realise when they get into Dover their is one spot left on the boat and it is leaving in 3 minutes, the leader of the group tries to kill our hero but the infected are closing in on them and the boat they both race to the ship, almost their the group leader throws sand and pushes our hero into a building then goes to board the ship our hero makes it out as the ship is leaving only to realise he failed and him saving the group leader stopped him getting out what happens to our hero no one know.

(As our hero has fallen to his knee's and the ship sails away the camera zooms out to show a large amount of infected zombies walking towards him and fades out - making a possible for a sequel aswell as leaving the viewers with a cliff hanger not knowing what will happen next)
