IDEA FOR FILM!

Through a lot of researching action films, i came to the decision of using TAKEN because it is a simple story line with a linear narrative therefore it would be easier to 'mash up' and switch scenes around. Using this, i will be able to apply Christopher Nolan's film styles to give a different vibe and atmosphere to the film..

The trailer above shows a summary of the film as the narrative of the trailer. It gives the audience an idea of what to expect of the film. In comparison to Christopher Nolan, Pierre Morel who directed Taken has a very different directing style in the way that he gives the audience more to expect rather than letting them anticipate which is what Nolan does. Christopher Nolan does not tend to give away the story line but instead shows an intense 2 minutes of footage to hook the audience not knowing what they will be expecting.

In order to edit this film, I will be taking scenes from Taken and putting them together following the main trade marks of his work focusing on The Dark Knight Rises trailer. As well as cutting the scenes up, I will be adding music from Hans Zimmer to give a better effect to the film sequence.

My rough idea for editing is..

-Establishing shot
-Clips of main actor walking around
-Main actor speaking 'i dont know who you are..'
-Continue on to action clips but muting the action scenes and adding a soundtrack to the background
-Black out
-'I will kill you' (last part of the main actors sentence while on the phone)
-Directors name
-Increased music
-Text dates, names etc.
-Title
-End shot of characters talking (Witty Remark)
