Week1. Research Board

It is possible to assume that everyone who live in a country with developed media, technology and television sections have at least heard about a secret agent James Bonds or even seen at least one movie with this fictional character. In order to create a trailer for one of the James Bond movies it is essential to indentify the characteristics of the James Bond personality and the content of the James Bond movies. These are the first things that come to the mind when thinking about James Bond:

• Secret/intelligence agent 007
• British
• Mature
• Classic clothes
• Drinking
• Charming
• Good guy
• Fights for the good
• Doesn’t follow the orders or instructions
• Does anything in order to get/kill the bad guy
• Comfortable with death and killing
• Capable to control all kind of equipment
• Muscular
• Doesn’t talk too much
• Handle pleasure along the work and/or vice versa
• Wit mind
• Impossible to kill
• Sense of humour
• Single man who can save a day

What is expected to see in a James Bond movie:

• Luxury
• Fast cars
• Guns
• High-tech fictional gadgets
• Beautiful wicked women
• Pure evil villains
• Chase and run
• Explosion/demolition of anything around
• Excitement
• Danger
• Love story
• Fast paced action
• Last minute get outs
• A lot of death and killing
• Trans-continental locations

All of these were found in the movies I managed to watch during couple last days. First movie was “Casino Royale” the 1967 version. One of the early James bond movies were humour takes most of the action. The action seemed to jump from scene to scene making it hard to understand what had eventually happened to the characters later on and how they managed to end up in the present scene. However, the movie itself is very cartoony and includes a lot of jokes which are there only for a laugh. It is not one of the serious Bond movies with tense action scenes and understandable plot like the latest Bond movies. It seems to be a good movie for transfer to 2D cartoon animation, but film randomness and old humour appears to be challenging task for 3D concept. The other two movies were “Casino Royale” the 2006 version starring Daniel Craig and “Die Another Day” starring Pierce Brosnan. It is not easy to compare these movies both include of a lot of action and adventure. They are well produced big screen pieces. The events and scenes are logical and believable as it can be in a movie world. The plot and events seem to be hardly possible in real life, but they definitely look real on screen. It appears possible to deliver a short trailer of key componets for both movies. The final decision was to make a trailer for “Die Another Day”. Pierce Brosnan managed to perfectly deliver all of James Bond features which created overall harmony between different scenes whether he was with a girl or confronting the villain. The movie appear sto be an ultimate Bond presentation. The most extraordinary part of the film which made it easier to choose was ice palace in the second half which would be perfect for modeling. Finally, here is the research board:
