"Sound of Freedom" Live-Action Analysis - Opening Sequence

-

 from co-creator Jaydon Smith

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic covers a series where we do Movie Analysis for this action genre!

And this Movie Analysis is on:

'Sound of Freedom'

Genre Conventions chosen to emulate

Although it is classified as a Crime and Drama film, the film definitely has many action-oriented scenes, and as such, uses various conventions commonly found in action films. For shots, again, a mixture of medium shots, two shots, medium close-ups, close-ups, aerial shots, and wide shots are used. The film also utilizes a mixture of heavily suspenseful music, as well as minimal makeup throughout, but also has some light-hearted moments with children in the film.

Favored Conventions

I again absolutely loved the film's storyline and the acting built up a ton of suspense since I have strong personal opinions towards child exploiters, and when things got really serious, they had some great and realistic fight scenes with great stakes. Accompanying the suspenseful story is the fixed perspective of the cameras throughout the majority of the scenes. 

Unfavored Conventions

The film did have some really horrible scenes with human-trafficked children and with the main character beating up and un-aliving the big exploiter that we are unfortunately unable to include in our final film. The film also has many weapons we would not be able to show.

That's All!

That's it for this Movie Research Blog, everyone. I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear. And this actually officially finishes this series! Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive.

Now that Jaydon and I have done all of the necessary planning for the film, it is now time to become familiarized with the set! I would like to first off thank Jaydon for putting in the effort to get permission for us to film at CCFL.  I would also like to thank Mr. Nick over at CCFL for giving us permission to film here in the first place! This project truly would not have been possible without him securing the space for us. Initial Set Scoping Now, we were originally told that we were going to utilize an auditorium primarily used for children's services and the church's private school. It had a beefy audio system, three beefy projectors, some PTZ cameras, and more. It was even large too. This was the first place we looked at, and we looked around to get familiarized with the space. However, after looking around, we were told that due to possible administrative conflicts with our church, this location would not be suitable for us to conduct our filming. However, another altern...
