Lord of war timeline

Target audience research

I asked people what they thought of my ideas, and I had an incredibly a huge amout of people supporting my ideas and even begging to be part of the movie, this gave me a really positive feeling that " this is it, I have got people supporting my ideas, emthusiastic actors/actresses, now its crunch time. Time to add my ideas and ideas of the people offering to work with me together and make a great piece of work".

The reason why I have targeted my movie to any age range is because my movie has people in their teens, 30's and even 60's, so I can't just target it to teens.

Lord of War opening title

The lord of War opening title keeps the audience in suspence. The title shows a bullet travelling the arms factory to the guerilla rebels in Africa. The title does look a bit confusing at start, because all we see is a bullet packed travelling around the world and then all time the crate oepned it was tossed again with another crate full of ammunition.When the crate opened the bullet didn't go out and hit anybody, but as soon as it reached Africa, the bullet hit a child that was standing there. This shows that the bullet was aimed at a specific person. At the start of the sequence we get the impression that the movie is a war film because of the crates full of ammunition.

Opening Sequence: Resident Evil The Extinction

Resident evil the extinction is a  2007 science fiction action horror film also categorized as a doomsday and zombie film, and is the third installment in the series of film adaptations based on the Capcom survival horror series Resident Evil. The films starts showing a face of alice  (Milla Jovovich) waking at the mansion, in a scene that is almost identical to the one in Resident Evil. Alice moves through obstacles including the laser room seen in the first film, though she is eventually killed by an Umbrella weapons system. Her dead body is taken by three scientists, including Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen), and dumped into a pit outside the Umbrella facility. The pit is shown to be filled with numerous Alice Clones. The camera zooms out from the facilities main entrance (the remaining facility being underground) and shows hundreds of zombies trying to enter the facility, which is surrounded by barbed wire fence.

In the movie alice uses different types of weapons such as handguns/Shotguns/Machine guns/Knives/Flame thrower/Crossbow/Dynamite: Carried and/or used to wound or kill zombies and humans and/or cause property damage. See "Violence" for details.
The costume worn by Alice (Milla Jovovich) in the 2007 action horror film Resident Evil: Extinction. This style of costume can be seen throughout the film worn by the lonely survivor of the T-Virus. The costume consists of a pair of tan suede lace up shorts (labelled ‘Alice’), a brown sleeveless shirt with popper buttons which is attached to a pair of brown leggings, a beige vest, a pair of brown fingerless gloves, pair of brown leather boots and the canvas webbing and holsters seen around the actresses waist and attached to her thighs (labelled ‘Alice Stunt’ and ‘Alice Milla’), included is the digital watch which can be seen hanging from the belt in the film. Also included are a flowered scarf and the plastic wire bracelet given to her by K-Mart (Spencer Locke) when they first meet and K-mart explains her name. 

The change in scenery of Resident Evil: Extinction is refreshing and different, with most of the film taking place out west in the desert. Being surrounded by zombies in a desolate sandy wasteland under the bright sun is a new terror that works surprisingly well. This film is a shocking contrast to prior zombie films  it’s more reminiscent of “The Road Warrior than Dawn of the Dead. Mulcahy knows how to scare his audience in this new environment, whether investigating abandoned gas stations and motels or having virus-infected birds circling overhead.

RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION comes an aggressively mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack. All of the discrete channels are fully engaged during the numerous action sequences. The bass channel is deep and ratchets up the action. In the movie there were quite alot of camera angles used. The Director used angles like high angle shot, two shot, low angle shots. The director used a lot of angles some were used to make the movie more scraier.

The opening sequence introduced us to the because if someone is watching the movies for the first time they wouldnt know what its all about,so the director used "bloody zombies".
