Actors: Jason
Statham, Qi Shu, Matt
Schulze, François Berléand

Plot: Ex-Special
Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the
French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter"
who moves goods--human or otherwise--from one place to another. No questions
asked. Carrying out mysterious and sometimes dangerous tasks in his tricked-out
BMW, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks. Rule One:
Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know whom he's
working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZh33gGK3Y8
-
Actors: Jason
Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran, Jason Statham
-
Plot: Four
Jack-the-lads find themselves heavily - seriously heavily - in debt to an East
End hard man and his enforcers after a crooked card game. Overhearing their
neighbours in the next flat plotting to hold up a group of out-of-their-depth
drug growers, our heros decide to stitch up the robbers in turn. In a way the
confusion really starts when a pair of antique double-barrelled shotguns go
missing in a completely different scam.
Snatch
I am
going to use this film because of the boxing scene, it has a lot of slow motion
which will help with the syncing of the project, also a lot of action is
happening. Punching and falling always looks good when it’s synced.
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8jbt0wBkMI
-
Actors: Benicio Del
Toro, Vinnie Jones, Brad Pitt,
Jason Statham
-
Plot: Turkish
and his close friend/accomplice Tommy get pulled into the world of match fixing
by the notorious Brick Top. Things get complicated when the boxer they had
lined up gets the shit kicked out of him by Pitt, a 'pikey' ( slang for an
Irish Gypsy)- who comes into the equation after Turkish, an unlicensed boxing
promoter wants to buy a caravan off the Irish Gypsies. They then try to
convince Pitt not only to fight for them, but to lose for them too.
The Matrix
I am
also going to use this film because of the fight scene near the end, there is a
lot of fist fighting happening and again punching looks really effective when
synced.
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM5yepZ21pI
-
Actors: Keanu
Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne
Moss, Hugo Weaving
-
Plot: Thomas

programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his
reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself
targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer
hacker branded a terrorist by the government.
Die hard
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qxBXm7ZUTM
-
Actors: Bruce
Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, Reginald
VelJohnson, Paul Gleason
-
Plot: New
York City Detective John McClane has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend
Christmas with his wife. Unfortunatly, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas
for everyone. A group of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber is holding everyone in
the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage. With no way of anyone getting in or out,
it's up to McClane to stop them all.
Scarface
I am going
to use this film because of the end scene, where Tony is firing weapons at his
enemies down the stairs, this looks good for the beginning of my project
because at the drop, I could use the scene where he fires a grenade at his
door, which make a big explosion, which gives the effect that the song wakes
the door blow.
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciF2CYn36gA
-
Actors: Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
-
Plot: When
Fidel Castro opens the harbour at Mariel, Cuba, he sends 125,000 Cuban refugees
to reunite with their relatives in the United States. Among all the refugees,
there is one who wants it all, his name is Tony Montana. Tony and his friend
Manny arrive in the United States and start in small time jobs. Soon, they are
hired by Omar Suarez to pay money to a group of Colombians. When the deal goes
wrong, Tony and Manny leave with the money and succeed in their job. Soon Tony
meets with drug kingpin Frank Lopez and falls for his boss's girl, Elvira.
Pretty soon Tony will know that those who want it all, do not last forever;
that is the price of power.
Wanted
I
will use this film because of the scene when someone jumps through glass and
shoots his enemies whilst free-falling. The film also includes a camera
following he bullets which will look really effective and will look good for
the syncing. Also near the end there is a scene where Angelina Jolie curves a
bullet in a circle and hits all the enemies around him, which will look really
good when synced.
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pWuFv48Zk
-
Actors: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Terence Stamp
-
Plot: A
young man finds out his long lost father is an assassin. When his father is
murdered, the son is recruited into his father's old organization and trained
by a man named Sloan to follow in his dad's footsteps.
Predator
I
will use this film because of the scenes near the beginning and end of the film
where a lot of gunshots and explosions are happening, which will look good with
the song I chose.
-
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrDsvVKY_d4
-
Actors: Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carrillo, Bill Duke
-
Plot: A team
of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch"
Schaefer, are ordered in to assist CIA man, George Dillon, on a rescue mission
for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American
jungle. Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have
been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of
their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by
something not of this world.
The reason I chose these films is because there are a lot of
action scenes, which will go well with the songs I am using. My audience will
be people 15+ as there are swear words and violence in the scenes; it connects
to the audience because they like action and the music but the classification
of the films is 18 I chose is popular nowadays. The pace of the video is fast
because the music is fast pace, as are the scenes in the film. I aimed to bring
a video showcasing action scenes of films, mixed to music, I’m not sure if I
have accomplished that because of the length and pace of the video, I could
have put more effort into the quantity, and slowed down the pace by using
slower paced Dubstep songs.
Songs I will use
Noisia – Machine Gun (16Bit Remix)
I
will use this song because it is a fast paced song, also sound sort of like a
machine gun, which will work well with the Scarface scene.
Bare & Mark Instinct - F****** Vicious
I will
use this song because it also has a fast pace and looks really good with
syncing.
Emalkay – When I Look At You
I
will use this song because it is sort of slow paced and will go well with the
fight scene in The Matrix scene.
California Swag District – Teach Me (Terravita Remix)
I
will use this song because it has a really fast pace to it which will go well
with the Wanted scene.
Noisia – Tommy’s Theme
I
will use this song because it is slow paced and looks really good with syncing.
