Assignment #11: Draft Five

This is our most recent planning for our opening sequence :) 

Our Opening Sequence - Draft Two.

Helpful Blogs I've Found.

Whilst making assignments, I've found some really good blogs that have helped me tons. My TV Blog helped more for the exam section of this course, but overall, I'm really glad to have found such great examples of blogs that have a lot of useful information on them :)

Assignment #16: Strengthening Film Titles.

After our first few opening sequences, it was obvious that we were weak where titles were concerned. We were set the task of looking at opening sequences and noting the particular times when certain names came on screen, and this also helped us to have better title placement. 

Transitions In Film And Television.

We failed to use any transitions in the first draft of our opening sequence, so I looked on YouTube for any videos that explain the importance of transitions and what transitions are appropriate where.

Filming The First Opening Sequence. (Day Two)

Reflection On Our First Draft.

I think our first draft was quite good, as other than the preliminary, none of us have had any good practise at filming something and editing it.Also, filming this was a big challenge, as for the first day of filming it was just myself and Gledis. And for the second day of filming we had Vera too. Because of this, I think we did really well to film as much as we did. I was really pleased with the audience feedback we got (see images below), on the Facebook post I made, as it showed that we were heading down the right track and already, people enjoyed what we have to offer. I hope that for the future drafts, we improve on this and can really scare our audience (which is our main aim). The only part of this draft that I'm disappointed with is the length of it, as this brought our grade down a significant amount as it was more like a short film than an opening sequence.
