Evaluation: Ninja Game

The genre for my film was superhero, action film. To signify the superhero genre about it, I have made the central protagonist have his super powers already so that the audience can establish that this is a super hero genre.

My opening scene was meant to be a fight scene for the whole opening then leading into the credits. This distortion of the narrative is a common theme in many action, superhero genres. In the opening I have kept the pace up by keeping the shots very short (roughly 1-2 seconds long) so that the audience does not get bored and might see that the hero is not in danger. The match on action in the fight scene was difficult to keep up due to lots of movement by the actors, however this was easily overcome by shortening some clips and keeping up the pace.

One major trouble with the opening scene was the continuity of some actors in shot. In one part the actors seem to dissappear and appear again, however to over come this situation the clips were cut short, so the mistake is not easily seen.

The scene after the opening credits was not intended to be made either. The problem was that the fight scene to begin with was too slow and therefore had to be cut shorter, which lead to trouble with time. So to sort this problem a scene of the central protagonist in his everyday life was made. This is to signify in many films about superhero films how he obtained his powers.

In the mis-en-scene was a deliberate joke of 'Some say he can smell,' this is to signify to the audience that he is not popular amoungst his friends, which also is a typical theme in many super hero films.
