This shot was filmed in Bilton Rd again and it was a 360 shot of Frank on the phone to Petrov Kane telling him he is going to take him down in pieces. During the editing a flare was added to the lens which gives the film more depth and makes it seem like a big production instead of A-Level students filming. The shots in the film ‘300’ were what G.O.O.D wanted to adapt in their own film and the saturation used in 300 is also what G.O.O.D went for. The way the shots have been used is shown throughout our trailer and that is generic to our film trailer in terms of genre and iconography.
Here is the shot
Here is the 300 trailer you will see simular feature's to our shot above ^ and the saturation aswell.

So far the everything has gone well, G.O.O.D have filmed alot and are coming to an end of production, but still have a couple of shots left to do. Here is a rough draft of what they have so far.....
Here is the Draft but it is not quite up to date, a few changes have been made since this. the voice overs need to be done, shots are missing and somev of the shots need to ber tightend.
For the Shard shot of Frank zip lining down, G.O.O.D recorded the shard from different angles, and then used a green screen for David as he had to pretend he was coming down a building, G.O.O.D researched the film Mission Impossible 4 were Tom Cruise is zip lining down a very tall building located in Dubai. We thought this shot would work really well with the film as every action film would have a climax or a car exploding or bulidings falling down, and it shows that G.O.O.D have thought about the genre in depth, and why they decided to put this sort of shot and stunt, to put in the film. It was a thought through shot and G.O.O.D had to plan it out before they actually tried it. In the end G.O.O.D got the shots they needed, and edited them on Adobe After effects which Charlie edited and Alex created the sounds for it which will be shown in the film trailer. Though it still has some work on it here is a draft of what was created. To see a tutorial on how the edit was perfomed go to 8259TrinitySchoolCharlieMorgan.
Here is the stunt trial, it looks really effective and really is a brilliant shot and edited well. Only thing is G.O.O.D must tidy the shot up and add the SFX.
Here is the M.I.4 trailer, and at the end of the trailer you see him perform the zip line stunt, obviously as we are just A-level student we could not do it for real, However G.O.O.D have worked hard to have a good quality. This trailer is also conventinal and meets G.O.O.D'S genre bridge. So this was the best example choosen by the G.O.O.D memebers.
Here some Pictures that were taken and Photoshoped
This is one of the first shots that G.O.O.D members Alex & Charlie shot. The aim was to get the London shots done so they would not have to go there again. Here is the Shot that consists of the main character and his girlfriend Lucy who later on in the film gets shot by Petrov Kane the notorious, ruthless villain in our film trailer The shot was a standard shot of the two together, G.O.O.D did not want it to be too long so it was a small clip in the final edit when we cut it down.
The fight scene took place in a truck stop area near Alex's area. The fight consists of our main actor and one of our fellow piers, we used him as he was tall as well as his ego, and G.o.o.d tried to get across the big bad guy in the movie which is typical in most action films such as, 'Kiss of the dragon', Wolverine and Wanted. Though we shoot a lot of shot we had to cut it down and put it in different sections of the film trailer. Here are the shots in different stages and edited.
Though this is just a short clip it was still a vital shot that needed to link in the film. It also was conventional to the film trailer as many action movies will have a shot of the main character running from something crashing, falling or a bad guy. Here is a small clip that has been edited by adding a silver filter which gives it that movie effect aswell as raising the opacity to make the shot lighter.
Alex found a place where he lived called Bilton Rd in which was a long road and was perfect to film a fight scene. G.O.O.D had to find the perfect ‘big henchman’ and in the end they choose Tayo Adeboye, a fellow media student. Charlie & Alex then had to call the police, to inform them that they were going to be using guns. Even though there was no one round the area G.O.O.D still had to call just for confirmation. G.O.O.D members Charlie & Alex then drove down to Bilton Rd with the Cast then filmed a series of shots. The basic idea was Frank was under attack by the big Hench men and they were firing back and forth, they then made their way to fight each other, which was Choreographed by Charlie & Alex, as it had to be realistic as possible. The area chosen was also though about as it had to be conventinal to the genre, and this includes reception theory where G.O.O.D are thinking about Mise-En-Scene and are giving the audience what they want and expect form an action movie.
Alex also added sounds to the clip which was done a music software called Fruity Loops or ‘FL Studios’ as Alex’s produces outside of school for UK artists. He automated the sound effects to make them sound as real as possible and changed the bass and texture of the sound. Throughout the whole movie trailer he had to add reverb and bass boost to give that movie feel to it as you see in other trailers such as, Expendables, Wrath of the Titans and Man On The Ledge. A later tutorial will be shown on how he produced the sounds.
If You listen to the way the voice has that echo to it, and the sounds of sirens and trains are used in the film have all been edited to bring the trailer to a climax as all trailers do, and this is what G.O.O.D will be showing in there film trailer.
Here is another example of different sounds, again the use of police sirens and guns. Though this shot of G.O.O.D's film is long they will obviously cut it short so the sound will be in contrast with the other sounds together, so that it would all work well.
