the rozzers

the rozzers has ,many police connotations of the police and the use of force with a distinctive british london feeling, this also goes along nicely with what i said about such classics as hott fuzz and beverly hills cops going along with regional accents and identities, this would of not been the case of rolling and patrolling which would of been to urban america, and this is you can have quite edgy title to go with the pace of the film, going from our former knowledge

Feed back we got: 'A lot of the names sound too predictable, but very cop like.'
'Rolling and Patroling sounds good, I love it'
but with this names its a bit stupid and american sounding
'The Boys in Blue sounds rubbish
'The Rozzers sounds very powerful, excellent'
and that why we are going with it

some audience

For our audience research we did a wide range of tactics to get the best answers and what we do in the film to make it more popular, we did this by asking people what there favourite films action comedy film and down to many knowledgably students about cross genres and the most popular answer was hot fuzz and the general feeling was that off that the combinations of the characters played and they made references that we should do something like and we took that on board in essence of the film and opening 2 minutes, other research we did tended to show that this would be a more male orientated film and should be to complicated but at the same time not to dumb as to insult the viewer so like most cross genre films we needed to strike the balance of action and comedy and again taking a leaf out of hot fuzz they did that with critical acclaim, we also talked about the aspect among the group we was interviewing ( joe pike, luke and alex) and since they where also fellow media students we could do this a media way and relevant and we do some back n forth with some banter in-between and they talked about the concern that is the chase scene had dominated saying it’s a good start but if it dragged there would not be much point down to time constraint, but they said the genre suited us and further we asked whether was important and to what degree and they said it is crucial to get the atmosphere and beautiful music can make a opening and they said annoying music ruin it like if we just did a reoccurring rift, They also talked about the theories and norms of opening a title and as joe pike pointing out that a good film should show the main actors and the production so we took that one board, and then other research suggested our films should be aimed for a mid range market of 15-24 to attract more people, and through an immense convo on the face book ( cant be put on blogger for reasons beyond) and they said are style of filming could lead to the film being to stupid and deepan so what we did looked at some videos of professions and thinking it would not be that hard to replicate and considering only 2 minutes we would be very good at the stuff like that and not to mention our former past of the underdogs will help as the research find out that many people where impressed with the underdogs and thinking we have the talent to do more.

elf and safety

Health and safety is an important issue for any media production and this will not be taken lightly and all stocks will be used to stop any injury to the people involved or damage to the equipment which in good faith we have been allowed to use and such things for first would be if we had wires we would tape them to the ground so people don’t trip over it, and other key important issue when we do are filming near a road well will have to weary of not being hit by a car and looking out for any other road related health and safety concerns and possibly avoid this issue by working near an area where it is not common to have traffic, and we would look out for any weather related scenarios such as lightning we would take away the camera in case we get hit, and health and safety is paramount for this film because of the chase scene so the actor would do some stretches before hand so not to pull a muscle ( likewise if we did a swimming scene) Another risk we have to assess is the weather for example if it is raining and we are working with electrical equipment there is a possibility we could get electrocuted. And as we go by we will keep on assessing the danger
And also we make sure the bin we kick over have nothing in it and we would not use a car because the law permits we cant

other information

The success of the James Bond series in the 1960s and 1970s, helped to make popular the theory of the modern day action film in more recent years. The earlier Bond films were characterised by quick cutting, car chases, boxing and fighting and ever more outlandish action sequences. The series also established the idea of the resourceful hero, who is able to dispatch the villains with a ready one-liner. Such as “ concept got the worlds most powerful handgun you feeling lucky”
Earlier American action films usually focused on maverick police officers, as in Dirty Harry (1971). These were among the earliest films to present a automobile chase as an action set-piece. But , the action film did not become a main form in Hollywood until the 1980s and 1990s, when it was popularized by actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger (the terminator), Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone and they all came into the expendables which many people saw as to over the top . The 1988 film Die Hard (great film) was particularly influential on the development of the genre in the following decade.
Action films tend to be expensive, requiring big budget special effects and stunt work. As such, they are regarded as mostly a Hollywood genre
Current trends in action film include a development toward more elaborate fight scenes in Western film. This trend is influenced by the massive success of ninjas and martial arts action cinema, both in east Asia and in the west. Asian martial arts elements, such as kung-fu and karate can now be found in numerous non-Asian action films. Now, a clear recognition can be made like films that lean toward physical, agile fighting, such as The Transporters 2 , and those that lean toward other common action film conventions, like explosions and plenty of gunfire, such as Lethal Weapon, although most action movies employ elements of both.
Action comedy - Mixture of action and comedy usually based on mismatched partners (the standard "buddy film" formula) or unlikely setting. The action comedy sub-genre was re-vitalized with the popularity of the Lethal Weapon series of movies in the 1980s and 1990s. and this also works with our film
