Final Opening Sequence; 'River Bed'.

Evaluation for opening sequence - Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

 I think that there were many good things about our filming, for example i think that it was good that we had demonstrated that we could use the 180 degree rule, the match on action rule and the shot reverse shot rule. Also, i think that it was good that we had hardly any camera shake within all of our shots. Furthermore, the last thing that went successful within our film is was that we added titles at the beginning at the film to introduce it to the audience. I think to make our film better we could have made the acting seem more realistic and make it look as if we knew what we were doing within our film. Also, i think to make it look better we could have added more shots to make the film look more interesting. Furthermore, the last thing that we could have done to make it look better was to stage the shots better.

Here are two examples of where we have used the shot reverse shot rule and the eye line match rule.

I think that my progression from when i first done my preliminary task, to now after i have produced a opening sequence, has got so much better. I know now a lot more about different camera shots and editing techniques which would make my piece intriguing. Not only have i expanded my knowledge of the different editing techniques and camera shots, i have also learnt how to use certain programmes on the computer. For example, live type; iMovie and final cut.
