Spy Research

Bit late posting here seening as we have had a few meetings since the last post, but hey, hectic times! So anyways, on the 21st October we met up to discuss our interactive spy movie more in depth and share some research. We had gathered a wealth of movies, programmes and games to research, all of which were spy-related. As we wanted to splice together different genres and themes through the story arcs, we wanted to look at different genres of spy movies, such as comedy, thriller, action and spoof. Here are some of them:

James Bond - Dr.No trailer

Casino Royale trailer

OSS117: Lost in Rio trailer

The Bourne Identity trailer

Top Secret! trailer

Salt trailer

A few spy themed programmes:

Chuck Season 1 promo

Burn Notice Season 1 promo

24 Season 8 promo

And a few games:

Alpha Protocol game trailer

Heavy Rain game trailer

Hitman Blood Money game trailer

Assassins Creed 2 game trailer

Also found a link to something similar to our project, in the vein of interactive movies. 13th Streets "Last Call - The First Interactive Movie" is a german horror movie watched by viewers in a cinema but, using a database which recognizes viewers mobile phone numbers and voice recognition, the viewers can direct the character on-screen at certain points, when asked. this allows the viewers to directly interact with what they are watching. Heres a link to a promo video:

After the meeting, we then pitched our idea to the rest of the class so we could get some feedback and possible recommendations for research and inspiration. Few good movies were recommended which were noted for research.
