Action vs Psychological??

We wanted our film to have action as well as a thriller but we didn't want the action to take over. From this we decided to have it but to keep it minor.

Action (movie) - Action film is a film genre where one or more heroes are thrust into a series of challenges that requires physical feats, extended fights and chaotic chases. They occasionally have a resourceful character struggling against unbelievable odds such as, life-threatening situations, an evil villain, and/or being chased in several ways of transportation (car, bus, truck, etc.), with victory achieved at the end after difficult physical efforts and violence.
So we didn't decide to use movies such as…

Ip Man – A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun.



Even though this film has its action it has too much. So this film isn’t good to use.

Kikujiro - A young, naive boy sets out alone on the road to find his wayward mother. Soon he finds an unlikely protector in a crotchety man and the two have a series of unexpected adventures along the way.
This film I have watched and it’s the total opposite of the film mentioned before. Even though this film has a great story it lacks in action, so again this film isn’t good to use.







A good film which does have action but keeps it to a minimum is…

Sunshine - A team of astronauts are sent to re-ignite the dying sun 50 years into the future.
‘Sunshine’ has great thriller elements which keep you at the edge of your seats and top of it all it has minor action. So this is a great film for getting inspiration.












We also wanted our film to have some psychological aspects to the film. We wanted it same as the action, by this I mean we didn't want the psychological aspects to take over but have it more than the action.


Psychological - of, pertaining to, dealing with, or affecting the mind, especially as a function of awareness, feeling, or motivation: psychological play; psychological effect.

 This definition explains how we want to use psychology in our title sequence. It would also attract female girls as most like to think while watching a movie.
