However, we did picked up on a few faults along the way but we did correct ourselves shortly after, for example, we filmed some of our opening sequence portrait when it should have been landscape to fill the whole screen when coming together and putting it all together. Also, we realised we had filmed things differently than how we planned on our storyboard so we again shortly after corrected ourselves and filmed again in the way we planned to do on the storyboard.
We included a shot/reverse shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule we decided to add those three areas specially as we believe it’s what makes an effective opening sequence and shows what skills we can use and how we go about exploring then. The shot/reserve shot was used in our preliminary task when the camera was a close up on Jess’ face and then switched the phone and so on, we believe this is effective to include as it allows the audience to feel a sense of anxiety- as what will happen next- which will hopefully intrigue them.
Also, the 180 degree rule was used when Jess and I were having a conversation after I had walked in and sat down opposite Jess. We believe 180 degree rule is effective as it allows the audience to have a clear indication of the characters emotions and how they are feeling which intrigues the audience.
This leads on to match on action shot was used when jess rang through the door from sitting down and having a conversation with me.
When putting the filming together into one short opening sequence, Beth, Jess and I came together and worked on the Macs which allowed us to access Final Cut Pro. As we are still learning how to use Final Cut Pro, we are still expanding on our knowledge on how to use it correctly which will hopefully which will make us quicker and more efficient when editing in the future as we are practising along the way. Once, we had collaborated all the individual filming into an order which matched to our storyboard order, we added transitions and sound effects which was interesting to do so as we were expanding our ideas on what sound effects to use as we explored all the different types of sound effects which we were accessible on Final Mac Pro.
Then, we all watched the opening sequence we had filmed and edited to use how ad if it needed to be improved in any particular way. We thought this was an effective way of editing as it allowed us to acknowledge what we thought was good and what we thought wasn't so good, for example, we decided we didn't like some transitions we used so we took then out as we decided to looked more effective without.
However, I do believe our opening sequence would have been more effective if we used both a male and a female this is because it may lead to a wider audience or people may perceive the filming differently if we included a male and a female. Also, in the future I think it would be more effective if we used more than one use of costumes for each character and different settings as it portrays our genre which is action, by including a number of settings in the opening sequence by using match on action shot could help to make audiences aware immediately that our opening sequence is an action genre.
Additionally I believe that OCR require AS media students to make a preliminary task and add evaluation ect because it allows us especially myself to become more familiar with filming and not only that but getting involved and aswell as being told about different media techniques actually setting out there ourselves and doing them ourselves. I believe this is a very effective way of learning as it helps pick upon skills along the way. Therefore in the long run I believe this will benefits all in the main task.
