127 Hours

During class we watched 127 hours, which was fun. The movie itself was very intense especially during the amputation scene. Even though the movie was based in a small crack it still seemed to entice the class. I found that the sounds during the amputation scene were really good and extremely effective.

insidious

Me and Morgan watched insidious at the weekend. the presentation of the title was really powerful and represented the movie well, making me scared already.

Hacksaw Ridge

During the half term i went to the cinema with a friend and saw 'Hacksaw Ridge'. It was based on a true story of a solider that wanted to be a medic in the Okinawa battle and refused to pick up or even touch a weapon. During the battle he saved 75 men by himself.

Shawshank redemption

Prior to watching this movie i had a feeling that i recognised it from somewhere or i had watched it before. We watched this movie as a class as not many of us had seen it and miss said it was a classic. it took me half the movie to realise that i had watched it after i asked miss to confirm what i thought happened which was right. The film itself was so good and really kept the audience interested with many different problems before the great escape.

The Call

this is an orchestral piece found by Morgan that will be used in our film. it is royalty free meaning we can use it without the owners consent.
This piece of music is very suspenseful with a cello creating a deep sound drawing in the audience. There are also added violins for a slight intensity which follow off from a calm piano opening. Hopefully the piece would entice the audience and give them questions such as 'who is he ?' as the identity of the private investigator is hidden. The audio itself goes on for 4:19 minutes and we dont need it all so we will cut it around 1:50 around the piano part. the music will be timed to our opening since when the music quietens the audience are able to hear the non diagetic sound of the phone ringing.

Gone girl

Gone Girl has a very different mystery story line to it as you are able to watch a woman create her own death and frame her husband. the film is structured very well as the audience are introduced to her fake death believing that its real only to later on discover that she faked it and framed her husband. the opening sequence includes a lot of establishing shots of the town and house and is also very mysterious.

Zootopia

although this is an animation movie, i believe that it has a really interesting story. its a detective case but the story itself is well panned and original.

since our story also has a detective case, a movie like this shows that no matter what genre or theme the main story has to be panned out well.

Deadpool 2016

today i watched 'Deadpool' which i had waited long to watch. i was excited since there were lots of good reviews for it. i immediately liked the title sequence as it was zoomed in slow motion cuts of a car crash. you were able to see small details of the crash util the end where you were able to see the full picture.
