Transporter 3 Film Review by Empire Magazine (http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=135716)

Throughout the review empire magazine are using very formal language and talking in 3^rd person, the critic mainly focuses on the actor’s performances as Frank Martin (Statham)  didn’t perform in many films and his actor career has just started recently. However the critic believes that the director ignored the importance of secondary characters such us Natalya Rudakova’s Valentin. He uses character quotes to bring humour into the review. He criticises the director and he outlines the good parts of the plot which he could have “overused” or improved. He mainly talks about Frank as an actor and his potential as an actor however he believes that this movie is a step back in his acting career. He uses a variety of formal vocabulary to describe the underperformance of the actors and the directors.  He talks about previous works by the director and the franchise.  He then goes into talking about the plot in relation to the genre and says. The verdict tends to be a short four to five line paragraph in which the reviewer explains the strengths and flaws of this movie.

Rotten Tomatoes Transporter 3 Review (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transporter_3/) Unlike other magazines rotten tomatoes take a different approach to reviewing movies, the very top paragraph would a brief summary of the movie what happens in it and who is part of the project e.g. actors, director and producers. However there’s more than one person writing the review article it is usually a very high number of critics and they don’t do a full review if they do not like the movie then they give is a negative rating and only talk about what made the movie unenjoyably for them however if they like it they will give it a tomato and say what they did enjoy about the movie and sometimes suggestions as to how they could improve it, based on the amount of rotten tomatoes and tomatoes the film gets it will add up to its percentage and then the audience would grasp an idea of what most professional critics think which is a really great way to approach when reviewing a movie as sometimes it’s hard to criticise a movies based on one’s opinion.

Draft Posters

This is our original poster idea, we mainly concentrated on the image we will use within our movie.We tried to show that this is microcosm of our movie by putting the antagonist in his brothers shadow.

This is our original second hand drawn draft poster. As you can see, we have annotated our draft poster by labelling the credits, font sizes, fonts, ratings, reviews and many other conventional aspects of a film poster. Although it is not an accurate drawing of our idea, it will look much better when we finally complete it. The poster shows the protagonist at the font with his briefcase and his brother in his shadow, behind him. This is a microcosm of our story line. In addition, it shows the relationship between the two main characters.

Script

EXT- Jamil’s House- Afternoon 

Jamil entering his house- walking

Cut to:-

INT- Jamil’s House- Afternoon

Jamil enters his house only to realise that his house is in a mess, he then calls for his younger brother Asif who he expects to be home. There is no reply.  

                                         

   Jamil- 

                     Asif!… are you home? (Looking up the stairs)

Cut to:-

INT- Jamil’s House- Afternoon

Jamil receives a phone call, he observes who it’s from and to his relief sees it is from his brother Asif, he immediately picks up, asks where he is only to find out it’s not his brother but is his kidnapper. The voice on the phone then explains to Jamil how to retrieve his brother.

Jamil –

                                             Where are you? ...

Antagonist –

                    I’m afraid your brother’s not available right now 

                              If you want him back there are a few conditions I need

                                              you to follow.

Jamil –

                                Listen yeah, if you do anything to my brother I’ll kill you.

Antagonist –

                               Hey, hey, relax, your brother will be fine as long as you

                                             follow my conditions.

Jamil –

                                             (stays quiet and listens)

Antagonist –

                              Bring the Wayne Enterprise Business Contract, which

                              you’ve just inherited from your father, Ill text you the   

            address of where I’m holding your brother.

Jamil –

                             Alright but as long as nothing happens to my brother

Antagonist –

                           Oh don’t worry he’ll be fine, just fine (sarcastic tone)

Jamil hangs up the phone and stands still for a moment, distraught by what he has to do, wondering whether to do it or not. He then hurries to his room searches for all the paperwork associated with the contact, puts it all in a bag, takes a deep breath, and then hurries out of the room down the stairs and out of his house.

Cut to:-

Ext- Bus Stop- Afternoon

Jamil crosses the road and walk towards the bus stop. He then gets on the bus.

Cut to:-

INT-Bus- Afternoon

Jamil is in the bus looking at a picture of his brother on his phone.

Cut to:-

EXT- Bus Stop- Afternoon

Jamil gets off the bus and walks towards antagonist’s location. Then he opens the door and enters.

Cut to:-

INT- Antagonist’s Location- Afternoon

Jamil walks down a long corridor and meets some stairs. Walks up the stairs and eventually reaches a door to the room of which his brother is held hostage within. He enters the room and witnesses his brother struggling with his face covered and a figure with a mask on standing beside him. The antagonist then pulls out a gun puts it on the head of the hostage and warns Jamil. He points the gun at Jamil.

Antagonist –

                                             Alright let’s do this quick, your

                             brother’s going to be alright as long as you have what

                                             I have asked for

Jamil –

                         I have your damn contract, so just let my brother go

                                             now

Antagonist –

                             Now that we have got an understanding of each other,

                       walk to the table put the contract down, sign it and

                  walk away slowly, and then ill free your brother,

                                             simple.

Jamil walks towards the table gets the contract out of his bag and places it on the table, signs it…

Jamil –

                                            Now let him go!

Antagonist grabs the contract hits Jamil on the head with the gun, which knocks him off his feet and runs out the room. Jamil gains his conscious, takes off the bag from the head of the hostage and then finds out it’s not his brother. Jamil then runs out of the room and spots the antagonist, he chases him. The antagonist shoots back at Jamil but Jamil takes cover. This is until the antagonist runs out Ammunition. Jamil starts chasing the antagonist and eventually they reach the car park, where the car of the antagonist is parked. Jamil then catches up with him, takes him to floor and takes the mask off. Which then to his sheer disbelief witnesses his brother’s face behind the mask.
