Our Opening Sequence - Draft Three.

Reflection On Our Second Draft.

For our second draft, our director no longer wanted to act as she felt uncomfortable doing so, and directing and acting was a lot of work for her to do. So for our second draft, our actress changed to Joanne, who is our Director Of Photography. Filming for this draft was interesting as we knew we could play with angles a bit more than we had done in the last one. We had a few difficulties with lighting though, as when the character's door swung open, lots of light flooded into the camera lens.

We were also fully aware of time constraints, and this time, didn't film enough! We were nearly 20 seconds under the perfect timing. The titles included bumped us up a bit, so we know for next time just how much we should film, whilst making sure not to go too much over or too much under.

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.
