2.  Overall , to be able to have created our 2 minute opening sequence we
have had to learn various things about our equipment and how filming
works. To create our opening, we used a canon camera to film our
cinematography shots and used the editing software ‘Final Cut’ to piece
together and produce our opening sequence ‘Dead End’. However
during this filming process we have had to overcome various
challenges, such as a part of our opening sequence ( the news report)
not being able to be found on the camera SD cards. Learning from that
mistake as a group , from then on made sure that when we had filmed
any work to upload it straight to the computer ,as the cameras were
being shared amongst many other groups. Another technical difficulty
we came across as a group was that some of our work would not upload
at times. We personally didn't understand the reason but after asking
for help we were able to get our work uploaded to the computer to edit.
As a group we are proud of the work we have put into our opening
sequence, as we have learnt that for a group with very limited
experience with camera and editing, it does not take a day to create a
final piece, therefore we have each put in alot of work to making sure
our opening sequence it worth a good mark, as we have all had a apart
in planning, creating, filming and editing. Whether it be physical
contribution or ideas and plan creating.

3. To Improve our Opening Sequence, we thought that if we were to expand our
cinematography shot use, such as including more long shots, to possibly show
the movement between all of the characters and the attacker. We would also
create more sound to our piece such as adding possible footsteps or heavy
breathing, to show the difference between when it was the attackers view and
the group of friends view. We also believe that our personal studio logo could
have been more animated and created to look more thrilling , as it is in the start
of the movie it needs to start the tension in the clip.
Below is a mid –shot that I like particularly as
it captures the all the characters reaction to
Trey as he tells them to stop and listen. In this
shot we are not only able to see their facial
emotion but their body language.
Above is a shot close up I think was a
very good shot in our piece, as it
captures the curiosity in Sarah's face as
she possible spots something off in the
