These are photos from another attempt at the stop motion bullet we were planning to use. We eventually abandoned the idea as it was too time consuming and didn't look very effective.

Our original idea had a stop motion clip of a bullet and we did several tests to try out different ideas. This is the only one that we could upload onto the blog as a video but it is probably our best method. We did this by sticking an object to a wall then taking pictures while slowly moving the camera backwards. This was then reversed in imovie to give the effect that the bullet was coming towards the camera.

This is am 'appearance test' that we were considering elaborating on after seeing something similar 'The Bourne Identity'. However we never used this as we didn't think it would fit in with our final film.



To do this we put the camera on a tripod and filmed someone walking across with a piece of cardboard (this would be a car) big enough to hide a person. We filmed this twice, the first time with someone standing behind the cardboard and the second with no one there. Then we cut the two clips together to make it look like he had just appeared.

We decided that the best place to film our final peice would be typical home. So we used Tims house as as it was the most convinient place for everyone to get to.
We got the inspiration for this from the opening scene of 'Hitman'.

We created our ident using a series of photos edited in photoshop. We took the blood splatter image and put the 'Urban Action' logo over the top. Then we removed some of the drops of blood in stages. Then we put the images into imovie in reverse order so that when played it would give the effect of the drops of blood appearing one by one.
