- 2. Teacher assessment of our second opening sequence:
- 3. Feedback of our first opening sequence:
- 4. Decisions and Revisions. • While we were making draft two, we came across a problem that we would face – this was the filming of the curtains opening. • We decided not to do this, as when the curtains opened quickly, too much light flooded into the room which affected the lens of the camera. • Also, originally we wanted to have a gust of wind blow papers from our character’s desk. This proved too hard to film as we didn’t have a powerful enough electrical fan.
- 5. Decisions and Revisions. • Another decision we had to make whilst filming was the idea of a shadow figure being seen in the character’s laptop. • We couldn’t do this as the laptop couldn’t be switched off any other way than manually. • To combat this, we reverted back to the initial idea of the shadow being seen in the television.
- 6. New Idea. (for draft three) • Abigail
- 10. Transitions and special effects. • For draft three, we want to use cross dissolve over the text, so it flows nicely. • We have also considered using a special effect for the video camera when the character records herself. •
- 11. Changes in character and mise en scene. • For draft three, we want to make our character look more nerdy. • We will accomplish this by using large oversized glasses, and a simpler costume that makes her look even less confident than in the first and second drafts.
- 12. Titles. • After making draft two, we realised that the titles on a black screen didn’t work as well as we initially thought it would. • It made the opening sequence too disjointed and wasn’t appropriate for the type of opening sequence that we wanted to make as we had a linear narrative. • For draft three, we want to put our titles on screen alongside our footage. This will work better as it won’t break away from what is happening.
