This is the first script for the starting of our film

Step By Step for creating our logo


Step 1: We start by making a blank white canvas with a good size to include some shapes and text.
Step 2: We added a simple black circle that covers the canvas.
Step 3: We added a circle with transparent fill and a white border with a line size of 19. Then I moved this to cover one end of the circle to make a crescent shape.
Step 4: We added the Eclipse Productions text in Castellar font in bold and with a white border. Then I moved this so the text starts inside the black circle.

War of the worlds

The purpose of this opening film clip is to show the audience what exactly goes on throughout the film, it also tries to get the viewer hooked and wanting to watch more by starting off the film directly with action.

Timing conventions: Most film openings are around 2 minutes long. However major blockbusters may last up to 5 minutes long.
Set the scene: Looks to be present day with all the latest cars and the surroundings, set in possibly America
Introduce the key characters: Tom Cruise - Just a normal civilian which evades from the enemy and is one of the only survivors.
Introduce pre plot or beginning of the narrative: From watching this clip it seems to be an action film.
Key Credits: such as production company, logos and director.
Usually starts with equilibrium: Some robot out of this world rises from the ground and starts destroying people.


40 word idea for our short film

A contestant who is two questions away from winning £100,000, he has the option of taking the £50,000 home or go on with one lifeline with a possible chance of becoming the first ever person to receive the highest cheque which has ever been given out in the programme. The choice is in the contestants hands, he could regret this for the rest of his life whatever path he decides to go down.

Casino Royale opening analysis

The whole introduction to this film links in with what the film is about because the use of all the  throughout in this intro is really good because it headlines and makes it obvious that the majority or the main scenes will be set in a casino.
Also the use of bright colours attracts the audiences attention and could possibly stop the viewers from getting bored throughout the opening credits. There is clips of two men fighting which tells us that film is going to feature guns and fighting. The opening lasts for 3 minutes which tells us that it is a major blockbuster.
