Title Credits: Design Ideas and Keypoints

I have been thinking about the best way that I show the story of Rush in the time that I have and what it is that I need to show to set the mood of the film. As the film is based on a ture events I can get away with showing some of the main points of the story so this means that I'm not limited to what I can and can't show as many people would already know it.

As the main theme of the film is speed I think that by using arrows for Hunt and Lauda for when they are racing each other, for the rest of the time I will use people in the same style as Saul Bass. I've also been trying to break down the film into 7 points to tell the story and in what way can I show it on the screen.

1 - Rivalry starts = Both of the arrows (Hunt and Lauda) are knocked off in their first race together but Hunt’s arrow keeps going while Lauda's is out of the race.
2 - Into F1 = Hunt joins McLaren, Lauda join Ferrari. This can also be used to show their personalities.
3 - The F1 races = Tha arrows are seen racing each other. Both Hunt and Lauda win and loss.
4 - The Rain =The events before the German Grand Prix.
5 - The crash = Lauda’s crash at the German Grand Prix. Lauda's arrow crashes into the side of the screen.
6 - The will to race again = Lauda sees Hunt’s winning races.
7 - Racing again = Lauda comes back to racing. Both arrows on the start line.

Film Review - 2001: A Space Odyssey

Image
Fig 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey Poster (1968) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the many classics brought to life by Stanley Kubrick. The film stands out in the world of cinema nowadays for the way it was produced but at the time of its release it didn’t receive that many good reviews from the critics, however, it inspired future film makers such as Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott. Like with most of his films Kubrick frames or centres most of the shots using the rule of thirds a technique that he learned from his days as a photojournalist for Look magazine. As shown in Fig 2 the rule of thirds involves placing a 3x3 grid over the image and lining up the key subjects within it so that everything is not cluttered on one side, in Kubrick’s case he places key subjects in the middle of the grid with other subjects on both sides of it so that the audience’s eye is drawn to what is being shown in the middle. As show in the example Dave Bowman and Frank Poole are on ever

Film Review: Kung Fu Panda - Act Structure

Image
Kung Fu Panda (2008) directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne can be broken down in to the different acts that take place. Sometimes it can be broken down in to a 3 act stuctre or a 5 act stuctre but ever way they both have the same points that happen in the story that introduct the characters, show us what problems they have to face that lead up to the big cilmax before everything is goes back to the way that it was at the begining. Below is how I have broken down Kung Fu Panda using the 5 act stuctre along with working out the plot and ending type of the film. The 5 Act Stuctre shown with Freytag's Pyramid The plot of the film is similar to a Arc Plot. Po changes as the story goes on and the characters around him also change. This means that when one thing happens it will affect what happens next or start the next sturcture. I see the ending of Kung Fu Panda as being a Partial Ending as the story has ended but we get the feeling that this is not the end of Po and

@Simon - Mesh Mishap

I can't unfold the mesh. :( I've done everything in the video but for some reason this won't work. The error at the bottom says: "Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold." and I don't understand what it means.
