Evaluation Question 4

I think with the time I did my nine key frames in, I think it successfully gets across the point of my script, as it fits in with the numbers camera shot I have annotated on to my script. I think if I gave myself more time to manage with everything my nine key frames would have been a lot better and not done it photoshop, this we due to some issues with my actors as I could not find anyone appropriate to the age range of my young James Bond, so in the last minuet I used a eleven year old from one of the lower years in my school. But I believe I managed to get my purpose across editing the picture on photoshop, so it looks like they are in the 1970's. My purpose was to get across that Heros are not born they are made, this is shown in my script and nine key frames as James is shown as weak in the start and then get stronger toward the end.

Evaluation Questions 3

In all honesty the location report did not help all that much for myself. But it helped me more with my script, as searching on the Internet for my location gave me the ideas of how I wanted the final product to look and i incorporated this in to my nine key frames as I got the idea of what an English police office used to look like in the 1970's. The reason it helped me with the script was due to the fact I could describe the setting better, make it easier to visualise and write down on ,y script. I think if I had better time management I could have incorporated my location report in with my nine key frames, but due to the fact I left my nine key frames till the last minuet, it does not look as good as I would of hoped as I did it using photo shop, because I did not put all the effort I could have in to my location report, so I did not find a suitable location for a 1970's police station. This has thought me a lesson for next time, I should actually go out and find a location locally to me so it is easily accessible and can get my actors there and get it all done in one shoot.

Evaluation Question 2

Personally my script and 9 key frames follow the classic Hollywood narrative and propps stock characters, as my script has the typical characters with the protagonist, helper and antagonist. Although this might not be clear they are there. In my story, It follows classic Hollywood narrative as the hero has to overcome something in the end and he does and emerges as a stronger character. Mary can be seen as the helper in my script as she is there just to comfort James. My script follows the best aspects of of a prequel as it has characters from the previously films, and I also have the key frame from the bond films, 'my names bond James Bond'. I think this would work really well as a prequel as it follows all of the codes and conventions of one.
My main aspect in my textual analysis is the development of a hero, this is covered by my chosen aspect which is narrative, in my script and 9 key frames you can see and read the links between them, you can tell there is going to be a hero as it is in the action genre, has the characters you would expect and the meis-en-scene as it is set in a police station and this isn't somewhere you would expect to find a antagonist.

Evaluation Question 1

The reasons we did the script and the 9 key frames was to show our disruption scene in our prequel or sequel, I choose to do a prequel from the two films i have chosen, which were Casino Royale and Batman. I chose Casino Royale as my prequel for my script and 9 key frames as this would work more successfully. As in Batman Begins you find out what happens to him in his childhood and why he is the way he is from the narrative. Where as in Casino Royale, you are only given little hints to it as in dialogue from other characters and the other films in the Bond series. This showed a degree of more work and harder studying as i had to look in to the characters more in depth and analyses the relation ships more. Due to this fact it made it esiery to write a script for my prequel as i could work on the relation ships and narrative of the story, it follows a little bit of representaion as well. As those were my key aspects for my textual analysis. I believe that I had a very strong script, as it has a good narrative and follows the aspects of my textual analysis, as it shows the representation of the hero aswell.
