Stupid Street Part 1
This is a short film called Stupid Street part 1. It was mostly filmed by Matt Harwood and he then gave it to me to Edit and finish. To edit this film I used iMovie on my Mac and I also used a free music website called Zedge to get the music for the end of film during the credits.

Camera Shots
Match on Action
Match on action shot means that when something happens in a scene then when there is a cut the same piece of action must be going on. this is an example on continuity editing and is very important in helping the audience continually understand what is going on.
Shot-Reverse Shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is looking at another character and this character is looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing opposite directions the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
Shot reverse shot is a feature of the classical hollywood style of continuity editing.
The 180 Degree Rule
In film making, the 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Radio Times cover
This is the cover of a Radio Times magazine that I have made for the TV programme Frozen Planet. Sunday 30 October 2011
Comparison of Action Texts
The action film texts that I am going to be comparing are the James bond films. The most recent of these films is called Quantum if Solace, starring Daniel Craig.
To start the comparison I am going to look at iconography. One of the most iconic things in the James Bond films is James’ Gun.
These DVD covers have James Bond holding the Gun that he is going to be using at some point in the film. One of the tings that I have noticed is that the guns seem to get bigger and “badder” as the films progress. This connotes the films also getting bigger, better and more exiting. It may also represent the films having more killing in them and there being more action and there is therefore a need for a bigger gun.
Also James’ dress codes are icon and conventional. They are iconic of him and his films, but they are also conventional of the action genre. This is because they want the main character to look superior and more important and sophisticated than the other people in the film.
Another conventional thing of action genre films are the girls that they have them. In these kinds of the films Propp’s theory can easily be applied because there is always a hero and he always has to rescue the princess. These films are no exception. On most of the DVD covers the girls that are in the film appear on the front cover of the DVD.
In conclusion I think that all the Bond films have a lot of iconic things in them that have been kept alive throughout all the films and I think that they wont be changing any time soon. I also think that the Bond films are very conventional of the action genre due to all the guns, car chases and beautiful women that always need to saved.
