What I've learnt from the Preliminary Sequence

From this activity I have learnt a lot of skills that i can then use when coming to make my final opening sequence. From testing out different shot types i am now aware of which ones are the most difficult to do and which ones are the  easier options. We use Final Express to edit this sequence, from this we now know our way around the system better, making us quicker next time we come to use it for our real opening. I've learnt from this which editing styles and ideas are best to use and then apply them to our opening. We tried out different shot types and from this now know that using the panning shot is very effective. We will use this shot type in our opening as it sets the scene well, on the Preliminary Sequence we also used the over the shoulder shot. This builds up suspense and create a dramatic feel to the opening; for this reason we have chosen to add it to our opening.
