Working title and Rush analysis

Working title

Working Title Films, co-chaired by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner since 1992, is one of the world’s leading film production companies. Founded in 1983, Working Title has made over 100 films that have grossed nearly $6 billion worldwide.

Rush

Working title packaged this movie as an action/drama because of its high tempo and fast paced action throughout the whole film. The trailer only shows snippets of the film but as you can see from it that it is a movie for all fans of motorsport not just F1 but it is also for people who around when it happened. Also with most of it been filmed at snetterton and brands hatch, it shows that it wasnt all CGI and it was actually tried to be as close to the orginal as possible. It's captivating and draws you in and makes you want to watch it. Also having the love story makes it that bit more exciting because you get to see how it messes with hunt's head. The rolling titles at the begging try and show how good the film looks by being quick and fast paced and this sets the tone for the whole film. Also with Hunt being a cocky driver it draws in the american audience aswell because they like making fun of us british and it would be perfect for them to use.

Top 10: Gore Scenes thriller research view at risk

some really disturbing thriller and gore clips that could potentially be used in my thriller

Secret cinema

The secret cinema is a monthly gathering of film nerds and lovers of film who get together to celebrate great films of the past. The company largely focuses on creating experiences based around popular films, with the film's story being incorporated into an event before the film itself is eventually screened. This is where the nerds and film lovers can dress up and meet fellow nerds to chat and have fun before they actually watch the film. It is always secret so only people who are signed up to the website know about where it is being held. It can be anywhere in the world and they show old blockbuster films like Back to the Future.

summer task

Summer task:

The two clips I looked at were la noire and casino royale. Both clips had some common features like they both were set up like an action sort of shooter type of scene, where they both showed like there was going to be action and shooting/killing in them. They both looked like there was going to be lots of death and a shed load of blood. They both had a slow start to the opening scene but both looked like they were made in good conditions with plenty of money spent on them.

But la noire and casino royale looked different because la noire is a game and casino royale is a movie. La noire looked really western and old fashioned whereas casino royale looked more modern and more up to date. Casino royale looked more of an action whereas la noire looked gangsterish and didn’t show the sort of action and fast paced movements that action movies need.

Casino royale’s story line is shown as a fast paced and quick heart thumping action movie if it follows all of the bond films before, it shows it will be full of blood, killing and running after criminals and probably some explosions.

Whereas la noire looks like a slow paced gangster movie where it has a slow build up and will not be very good but will still have the death and bloodshed that a bond movie has.

The themes of casino royale are; bloodshed, killing, death, action, heart thumping and fast paced movements with a bit of romance thrown in as well. This means it will be like a typical bond film and typical fast paced action film, which means the audience will enjoy it if they like all of the bond films of before.

The themes of la noire are; gangster, a bit of romance, fighting, shooting, bloodshed and a thrill to kill. This means that it is a bit like a typical gangster film in where they don’t have the fast pacedness but to have the fun in killing people because it’s how a gangster film should be.
