Drugs - Final Video

This is the final preliminary task. We included match on action well, and the 180 degree rule. I also liked the ending where there is a smooth transition between the client getting up and then tossing it into the air before putting it into her pocket. Another part I liked was the worms-eye shot of the client's shoes walking toward the door.
 However, there are many things that could be improved on. In one of the shots a tripod stands in the background, disturbing the continuity. I also think it couldn't been made more dramatic with close-ups on the actor's faces. I will pay special attention to these factors in the main task to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Opening Sequences

We got our brief for our main task: Film the opening sequence of a new fiction film, including titles and soundtrack to last approximately two minutes.

To help broaden our understanding of opening sequences, we watched a few on the website Art of the Title. I noticed that the opening sequences we watched all had some sort of colour scheme; The Conjuring had a brown and off-white 'vintage' look, while Catch Me If You Can has a bright pop-coloured theme. A second thing I noticed was the film team's names in the opening sequence. On Dinner For Schmucks it is a very cheerful and delicate opening, and the writing font reflects this.
