The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening


3. Inspiration

The Edge - AS Level Media Studies Opening Sequence by Rory Campbell

This specific video gave us the inspiration of including a chase.

I like the idea of including a chase because it involves action, and looks fun to shoot and edit.

I came across this video as i was stuck for ideas on what to base my video around and was looking at other peoples AS Media 2 minute film opening videos.

Storm Freerun - Volume 1

Storm Freerun are a group of free runners from the UK. We have been inspired by them because in our opinion they are the best free running group around and perform excellently in their sport.

We came across this video as we decided that we would like to include free running in our video, as opposed to roller blades in the first video.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

Jamie - I will be mainly responsible for the editing. Editing is one of my main skills in which I
can offer, I am the most familiar and experienced members of the group in the editing field.
Me and some of the actors will be choreographing the chase scene in which includes parkour. Jack and some friends and I are responsible for finding the locations we need to shoot at. for this we will be travelling, and shooting up at London.

Jack - Jack will mainly be responsible for filming, and getting the camera angles/shots. Jack will be mainly responsible for the shooting of the film as he will not be in the film.

All - We will all contribute towards ideas for camera angles/shots, how the scenes will link together, opinions on how the film should look whilst editing, the script.
This is because we are a team and cannot allow one person to make major decisions like this by themself, we may not agree on someones specific idea, but as a team we can discuss an idea untill we all agree on it.

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening: How and Why

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening


1. How and Why

We came up with a concept idea as we discussed many ideas within a group of friends. We decided that we wanted to film an action film, which included the art of free running. We then started to interpret a story for the film to run on, and decided which parts will be shown in the opening 2 minutes.

Lastly, we developed our ideas further into including specific techniques in which we needed to used in the making of the video.

9. Health and Safety

There wasn't really any health and safety issues that we had to take into account. I can only think of two possible issues that we could have come across. One being the fight for the chair, and when Louis fell off of the bin. These aren't very major issues because the risk of injury or safety wasnt high.

7. Overview

Environment - To establish our environment, we needed to include long shots and panning shots, which we did.

Information - The way we gave information was through the form of questions and answers. We came up with a general understanding of what we wanted to be said during the video, and let the actors improvise on what they wanted to say.

Movement - The characters moved as anyone else would on their way to, during and after an interview. Specific shots comprehended this movement, for example, the long shot at the opening scene, or the panning shot just after that.

Point of View - Point of view changed during this video as to who was speaking.

Eye lines - significant eye lines include the stare off, just before the characters fight for the chair. Eye lines also include when the questions were being asked and answered.

Shots - Shots change due to the characters movement, and point of view changes. There are also a few random shot changes to make it a bit more dynamic.

Relationships - A close relationships shows between the two interviewees because they back each other up when making points, they walked to the interview together, and then at the end they hug.

Critical Points - Critical points include the door opening to the office, which included match-on-action, the stare before the chair, which included shot/reverse shot. Getting different point of views was important whilst asking questions so the audience didn't get confused to who was speaking and to who it was aimed at. The part where Louis falls of the chair was quite a critical point because it was very humorous.
