Thor: The Dark World

Thor: The Dark World (TTDW) is set to be a worldwide blockbuster (already surpassing the first movie's box office) with a $150 million budget, following the success of the first movie 'Thor' and Marvel superhero mash-up movie 'Avengers Assemble' . Thor 2 is directed by Alan Taylor, who has also directed some episodes of successful fantasy drama series Game of Thrones, and is produced by Kevin Feige who has produced many Marvel movies. TTDW stars the main actors from the last movie, including Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, Christopher Eccleston and Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth. Thor will be shown in 2D, 3D and IMAX formats in the 'mainstream/high street' cinema chains such as ODEON, Picturehouse, Vue and Cineworld, but also in other independent cinemas. Different types of camera were used for different types of shots.

Marvel released the first official trailer in April, six months before the release date. They released another trailer in August, during Youtube's 'Geek Week'. Tom Hiddleston attended the San Diego Comic Con dressed as his character, Loki, to promote the new film, and he also attended Disney's D23 expo event with co-stars Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins and producer Kevin Feige. And speaking of Disney, Disneyland is set to have a new Thor attraction, a week before the American release date, next to the Iron Man feature. Well marketed by Marvel. TTDW has been marketed all over the internet and on the street too. Newspapers have written reviews about the movie and some of the cast have recently been in newspaper and magazine interviews, regarding their new movie. And to top it all off, Thor: The Dark World had its world premiere at London's own ODEON Leicester Square on the 22nd October 2013.

Production in Shaun of the Dead

Production in Shaun of the Dead Swede

Planning: We decided which specific scenes we would shoot and how we would lay them out, and then proceeded to take pictures to establish the shots and the characters involved. Afterwards we got other people involved and thought about how we could improve on the shots we had.

Props: We used no props other than a fake microphone to stress the fact that the swede is supposed to be a spoof and not have great production values.

Actors and stars: We had two main characters, the two that weren’t zombies, and everyone else was a zombie. We also interviewed people as if it was a news broadcast on live tv.

Scripting: Our scripting was not as planned as we thought that since it was a swede it would seem more unofficial and jokey if the lines seemed a bit jumbled. We picked a few key scenes and decided to improvise on the lines used, but we still put across the same message.

Technologies used: We just used a basic camera to film our swede, although we used a fig rig to gain a steadier control of the camera while filming on the move.

Filming: While filming we tried to plan out all our shots so we could achieve seamless editing, and so that our editing wouldn’t look like separate videos pieced together.

Editing: When we edited our swede we put the clips in the order that seemed most logical, and created a mystic persona in the audiences minds.

Post Production: In post-production we added a theme song and an opening and closing scene to introduce it to the audience. We used the same song from the actual Shaun of the Dead as to give the same vibes off that the film did.
