Initial Research

• The shape of the narrative (equilibrium, disruption, new equilibrium)

This is a fragmented narrative about how American group entered on the Russian territory. They done that to to disrupt the deal about nuclear weapon! The narrative based around the abandoned factory and  that four American soldiers called  them self  group Alpha.

• Any camera work you liked

During this short film at about 4 minutes we can see the long shot with 4  mens on it sitting in a cover and waiting for something happening in next couple of minutes. 

• what genre it first into (now do you know)

This is definitely action film because at the beginning if film we can see whole area from the hill. Over this shot we can see lots of satellite dishes.  After we saw satellite dishes we can see the man moving in the cover which gives as the representation of the Sniper or Scout. Also later on in a film we can see lots of shooting happening!

• The theme that it explores

The theme that is explores in this film about the prevent bad people of getting the nuclear weapons and make the damage to the rest of the world and countries!

• The use of sound (soundtrack, dialogue, etc.)

At the begging of the film we can hear the dialogue which the driver they are talking on a foreign language (Russian) this is extra editing, because the later on the film we discovering that this guy is american and he knew 2 different languages perfectly without any accent!   

• The use of editing 

The are also was editing such as switching camera into the machines and we can see the what probably person who controls this machine can see,  lost of signs, numbers and tracking direction on a screen 

• Mise- En-Scene including costume, lighting, location 

The use of Mise-En-Scene in this short film was good because we can see the appropriate navy clothes and they are different for Russians and Americans. Also we can see the use of high-tech technologies such as weapons machines and computes without the visual screen. However we also can see that there present some  heavy machines from out period of time such as tanks and BTR.  Location was all the time only the one (Chelybinsk province) somewhere in the wild area on abandoned factory however factory wasn't abandoned it was a time base for Russians because during the film we can see lots of boxes, heavy machines and containers all around that theretory . The light most of time was natural because we can't see any changes in lighting during this short film.

• The shape of the narrative (equilibrium, disruption, new equilibrium)

This is fragmented narrative about the future world and police improvement in technologies and people safety. Hover even in that time people still managing somehow get away from police however this not always working properly. The main problem is still illegal immigrant which trying to get into wealth countries just by changing their personal details for example look . 

• Any camera work you liked

I really like this shot at 1:40 where we can see whole NYC from the bird eye. I like this shot so much however i don't know yet how to do this shot by my self ! 

• what genre it first into (now do you know)

This generally since-fiction  film combined with action film because at the beginning we can see NYC which is changed by technologies and people don't carry any money or keys with them everything is authorized by personal DNA. However after this small introduction we can see example of criminal which trying to escape from police however authorized system is not allow him to get anywhere. 

• The theme that it explores

The main idea of this short film is to catch women which is looking identical to another one and discover which one of them is illegal immigrant. This all can be dome by up to date technologies. 

• The use of sound (soundtrack, dialogue, etc.)

We can't hear any foreign languages except english, however this shot film using a lot of music effects so for example when journalist  interviewing Merry we can hear the music which give us some stability and feeling of safe for now however at the same time we know that something must happen and this might change the life of people.

• The use of editing 

In this film there were lots of editing such as advertisements on the buildings which can be done in real life. Camera angle change was quiet good so people get bored and this also passing emotion of the people in a video ( their feeling and aggression). Also on addition which i like at 1:52 the camera moved every time with a flash of a cameras and after flash is over it getting to the person. 

• Mise- En-Scene including costume, lighting, location 

The use of Mise-En-Scene in this short film is very good people wearing normal casual cloth which we wearing in every day life. The security (police) dressed slightly deferent in black cloths. The use  equipments are also good  we can see box which criminal inspectors using when getting to crime place in order to get more information of person. The use of thither tools also good for example journalist using dictaphone. There are was also changing in location between head office to NYC streets up to camera of interrogation. 

• The shape of the narrative (equilibrium, disruption, new equilibrium)

The is fragment is narrative about 2 guys which want to earn some money by stilling things from the building. They seek jewels, but realize the warehouse they've held up has other things in store..

• Any camera work you liked

I really like shot where people standing and looking at the trunk but camera facing people from the trunk this looking like low angle shot. 

• what genre it first into (now do you know)

We don't know for sure what genre this shot film whether it comedy or Action  until 2 minutes when they wearing masks and taking the guns we can say that this film is Action film. 

• The theme that it explores

The main idea of this film to steal jewels from warehouse however after few minutes of their mission they realise the warehouse they've held up has other things in store..

• The use of sound (soundtrack, dialogue, etc.)

The use of music also good in this short film because music lasting nearly for half of short film however the sound is lower so we can hardly hear it however music preparing audience to prepare for action and passing emotions of characters. 

• The use of editing 

The use of editing was good because we can see lots of switch angle of camera back and forward again, also we can see camera following one of the guys with the same movement as him which crates a felling that camera don't move it just been pushed.  Also we can see wide selection of close up shot to long angle shots. 

• Mise- En-Scene including costume, lighting, location 

The use of Mise-En-Scene in this shot film is very good because we can see extra tools such as guns and mask. Also we can see special clothes (navy cloth) this special place for a pistol this create for us an representation that on the the guys is professional. Also use the the warehouse and all surrounded tools was brilliant. Such as we can see that this guys doesn't found any jewels however they found children toys. This enigma also makes this short film better and ming even change in genre to comedy.
