Teacher assessment of our second opening sequence:

Feedback of our first opening sequence:

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.

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.

New Idea. (for draft three) • Abigail

New Storyboard.• Joanne

New Script.• Gledis

New Shotlist. • Abigail

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.

•

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.

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.
