Camera Shy

The things that worked well during our opening sequence were the music. This worked well because it fit in with the theme of ‘Teenagers’ and the younger generation. It also went with the ‘Killer’ section, because it was kind of eerie, and mysterious. Another thing that went well, was the running section. This was smooth and the pace was right. The sound of the leaves, which was recorded, was in time with the footsteps, and the movement of the leaves. The fades, which consisted of the taps, and the newspaper, worked because it was random and showed what the killers routine was. The handheld camera during the run was particularly effective, because it portrayed realism; you felt like you was running with her. The whole sequence created enigmas, because you never find out who the woman is, or what she;s doing.
The things that didn’t go too well, was the credits. We had to put them on whilst the film was playing, because we had run out of time. The credits could of stayed on a bit longer, so the audience could see what they actually said. Also, we couldn’t find a font which fit in with the theme. They were all ‘cheesy’ and cliché.
One thing that could be interpreted as a bad thing was the whole sequence was random, and the audience couldn’t understand what was going on. This could be bad, because they would lose interest, and not want to carry on watching it. However, it could be good, because they would want to carry on watching the film, to get what it was about.
The quality of the ‘production’ was terrible as we did not have the right editing software to make it professional. The lighting looks fake because the colour is dull, not darker.
