Film opening ideas

Me and Grace have decided that the opening scene in Mr and Mrs Smith is too hard to use for ours, as it has too much dialogue for a title sequence. We have decided to recreate the pick-pocket scene in Focus as it shows elements of our genre, whilst being interesting, entertaining and not too hard to recreate!

Preliminary Task Evaluation

The preliminary task was based on a person entering a room through a door, walking across the room, sitting down and exchanging brief conversation. I didn't find this task particularly hard as we were only using 3 camera techniques and the short exchange of conversation was easy to write. I used a video camera and placed it on a tripod so it would move easily around the room and i could alter the height. I used imovie for the first time to edit my task which was quite a challenge at first because i found it quite confusing but you learn as you go! I started planning this task by first researching the camera techniques i needed to include and how they would be used and then i created a storyboard outlining what the two people were going to do and say. I stuck to my plan as it was quite useful to prompt the actors and to know what angle i would be filming from.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product? Script:  Since our preliminary task we have learnt alot in terms of cinematography and editing and developed these skills which we believe is shown in our film opening. Our preliminary task involved someone opening a door, walking across a room, sitting down and exchanging a few sentences of dialogue between two people. We had to incorporate shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action, into our short film to learn how they are used. Overall I enjoyed learning about the new camera techniques and getting used to filming. I found it more difficult than I expected to stick to the rules, for instance the 180 degree rule, however in my film opening I will now know not to the 'cross the line'. Whilst doing this preliminary task we used a range of different equipment and software most of which was new to me.When film...
