No Country For Old Men Opening

At the start of the No Country For Old Men, the main title of the the film comes across the screen, as it slowly fades away Tommy Lee Jones' voice comes into action as it shows the countryside in a country. It shows the mountains and the deserts, Tommy Lee Jones' talks about his weapon and the crimes that happen in his time as Sheffif. Every single shot is a establishing shot of the country, showing the sunrise.



The camera then shows a low angled shot of a police car as a police officer takes a man into custody.



There is no music in the background, it is just the sound of Tommy Lee Jones' talking about his time as a sheriff and possibly what somebody would hear in the countryside, the rustling of the trees and bushes and the sound of crickets.

Strombreaker Opening

The opening of storm breaker is a blurred shot of a classroom full of young teenagers, as it moves along it becomes more into focus with the titles of the film appearing across the screen. The sound is of a teacher speaking and talking about an assignment, as it moves along to a blonde haired teenagers where the camera stops as it shows that he will be the main character. This boys name is Alex Ryder.

His task is to discuss his family life, where he discusses his uncle and his housekeeper. He talks about how boring his uncles life is when the music speeds up and it shows how his uncle is sometype of secret agent. There is quick cuts because of the way the action is happening and how Alex Ryder is talking about his family.

Lightsaber Tests

Recently over the weekend of Saturday 24th and Sunday the 25th of Janaury, Kyle went to Argos and purchased a single lightsaber for our film.

He then recorded a short series of footage to test the animation in which Kyle will do during the rest of our film.

We bought these lightsabers so we could see if they would work for our film and to make sure we could perfect it so we can do the best work possible.

Men In Black 2 Opening

Before the actual start of the film, the company who prodcued it Comlumbia, is shown with the women holding a light, which flashes a bright white light as the equipment in the Men in Black film does when they are erasing somebodys memory. Then the actual opening of the sci-fi comedy Men in Black 2 starts with a pretend t.v. show talking about the 'light of Zartha' It involves a short story where this all powerful source is taken from a group of people (The Zarthons) and given to a secret organization called the Men In Black to protect it from the evil Celina. This short clip of the film shows the viewer what will probably happen during the rest of the film, so it gives the idea an in-sight to what will unfold.


When this short film ends the camera then shows an ailen spaceship, which is going around destroying planets. Whilst this is happening the credits are also appearing in the corners of the screen, they are in a scientific font which is recognizable with Men In Black.


The background music is dramatic which fits in well with this film because of what is happpening, the film has eerie music right up until the spaceship crash lands onto Earth which gives the impression that something bad is either happening or something terrible is about to take place.

The Narrative Synopsis

This was our initial idea, but due to technical complications and time restraints we could not use this idea.


G’wars Opening Narrative

This is the that we will make over time, i was the main creator of the story but also i had equal input from my co-workers Kyle and Omi, this film will be only 2 minutes long but the rest of the narrative was required to show people where the film was going.

Opening Scene:

A dark street in Nottingham, with the star wars writing in the foreground but saying ''G'wars''. Jack and Omi appear in the street. Sizing each other up and they circle around waiting for a battle to take place. Jack and omi discuss the death of all the G’s, Omi being the leader of the G’s stands up for their rights and says how Jack will die and the sith lords will be no more. Jack wanting the G’s race to end, attacks Omi in a quick flurry with his lightsaber. Omi using his primary weapon the ‘’the lightsaber’’

‘’They brawl’’

Omi strikes down Jack, and as Jack reveals his true identity, and tells Omi he is his father, when Omi says ‘’that’s impossible, your white!’’. Omi leaves the scene of the battle chanting in a gangster tone as G’s music appears in the background.

The rest of the film:

Omi tells the G race that everything is fine; peace has been restored at last. Omi has taken down the main sith lord, without knowing it was his father, he becomes confused about what Jack said to him, he seems to think it is his Father but yet that’s impossible. Omi’s wife, Layher comforts Omi after these recent events as the G’s celebrate there recent victory as they believe that this is the end of the wars between the G’s and the sith lords.


When Jacks wife, Omi’s Mum, has made another son named Jackson, so Jackson, Jacks son and Omi’s brother, finds Omi to take him down, finally and have revenge! Jackson’s finds Omi, and wants to avenge his father’s death without the knowledge that Omi is his brother. Then the two brother’s mum turns up and shouts to tell them that they are brothers, when Omi’s brother cries ‘’YOUR NOT MY MOTHER!!’’ ‘’YES I AM!!’’



The brothers then realize the truth and accept peace between the g’s and the sith lords!

Opening Of The Star Wars Film

At the start of star wars, the production companies come on, showing who makes star wars and who develops it, they come on with small noises to attract the audience, then after a short space of silence, the famous words 'A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..' come up, then the star wars theme music blasts out, with the bold star wars logo. Then as the logo slowley fades out as it moves to the top of the screen, 3 small paragaphs are shown on the screen continously moving as it shows a small insight to what has happened before the action which is about to be shown and what might happen.

The camera then shows two space spaceships which seem to be at peace, with inside the two main characters 'Anakin Skywalker' and 'Obi Won Kenobi' they then fly over with fast moving camera actions and many special effects to show a space fight as they try to take over a space crusier to save somebody.
