Independent Task

RIDE ALONG 2:

This scene is effective with the use of slow motion as it can make it funny. Even though we won't be using a car, we can still use the idea of slow motion with the integrated credits because it looks interesting.

It will be funny if we get someone to speak and use the slow motion but we need to be careful not to over use it. 

KINGSMAN:

The opening scene starts with non diegetic music while it fades into a cassette tape which then zooms out to be a boom box. As the two men are playing chess, a helicopter comes in and shoots them, this shows that this movie could contain action mainly. I like the continuous shot as the camera follows the helicopter because it flows really well. 
The main title appears in front of a building which has a similar theme to the setting. There's diegetic sound of the helicopter, explosions, and people shouting which makes the scene realistic.

The pace is kept at a constant rate which is effective as it will have the audiences attention throughout the scene. Even though there is little comedy in the scene, there are still useful ideas such as the continuous shot which will help with our idea. 

HOT FUZZ:

This opening scene starts with a long shot of someone walking through the hallway where the only diegetic sound is the footsteps. This brings a serious atmosphere as there is no music and no talking, so the audience doesn't know what's about to happen. 
He then shows his ID card (whilst doing a voice over), revealing that he is a policeman, and the fast pace music begins. 
A montage begins showing variety of shots such as close up shots of his face and his feet when he walks. There is also match on action which if effective as it keeps up with the pace. The upbeat music can suggest that the films may not be too serious (like a James Bond film. 

This film is useful as it has the theme of serious and funny moments which is what we are aiming for. An idea could be having no music/ silent pause to give a funny atmosphere when the brothers do something silly. 


My favourite scene is when they jump over the fence as one of the policemen does it professionally whilst the other completely fails to do the same.
