Analysis for Stormbreaker

The opening of storm breaker is a blurred shot of a classroom full of young teenagers, as it moves along it becomes more into focus with the titles of the film appearing across the screen.

At the start of the No Country For Old Men, the main title of the the film comes across the screen, as it slowly fades away Tommy Lee Jones' voice comes into action as it shows the countryside in a country. It shows the mountains and the deserts, Tommy Lee Jones' talks about his weapon and the crimes that happen in his time as Sheffif.

Why We Changed Our first Idea

Why We Changed It

During the making of our first idea 'G Wars' we came across many troubles, including, lack of time, lack of budget and a problem with the technical side of our work. We first of all basically wanted to make a film, fill it with effects and then make a spoof comedy of Star Wars, including lightsabers and the cloaks of what a jedi would normally wear, which came to our first problem. Money. We had to pay for all of our props we required to make 'G Wars' when we couldnt afford the objects and clothes we wanted, so the idea was slowly going down hill because of the lack of money. Then as we progressed throughout the weeks writing up the story and entering our main ideas, we realised we did not have the required time we needed, it was taking too long to perfect everything, at this point we started to come to the conclusion that the 'G Wars' film was not going to happen. Then we had to discuss the technical side, with Star Wars being full of effects, sounds and laser, we would have to include all of these special effects to make a realistic Star Wars spoof. However, with time not on our side we had to re-think our plan, we could not afford the props we wanted, Kyle could make the effects happen, so this gave the group hope, but however we did not have the time we needed, so we came up with a better idea and finally changed our film to a better narrative in which we could complete.
