We was playing with
the settings on the
camera and we
accidently pressed
record
The shot was not
focused, as we were
too close to the subject.
The actress was
covered up too much
by the blanket
The actresses face was
covered by the blanket
The clip had a good
composition and was
focused. However we
did not use this clip as
we had a similar clip
which flowed better
The actress was out of
focus and she moved
out of the composition.
The actress was in
focus and the
composition worked
well however we did
not use this clip as we
felt that it would not be
needed as nothing
happened and it didn’t
show what we wanted
it to show
The actress looks like
she is smiling therefore
this does not fit in with
the genre of the film
As the actress moves
she becomes out of
focus
As the actress moves
the blanket the shot
becomes blurred and
also the fact that you
can see more of her,
this draws the
attention away from
her face.

The composition is
good and it is focused
however the fact that
you can see more of
her, this draws the
audiences attention
away from her face.
There is a flicker of
light during the shot
which we felt ruined
the atmosphere we
was trying to create
The actresses hair
covers her face as she
moves
Due to the shot being an
extreme close up, the
shot was too dark and
also appears fuzzy.
As the actress moves
her hair covers her face
and also the shot this
blurry and too dark
At the beginning of the
shot, it is out of focus as
we were so close to the
actress. Also the zoom
does not run smoothly
and at the end of the
clip the actress comes
out of character.

The beginning of the
shot is out of focus and
the zoom out is too fast
The shot was stopped to
quickly therefore the
whole zoom out was not
recorded.
The shot is focused as
clear and the lighting is
much better than other
clips previously. We
used this shot first as
we felt that it would fit

well when starting the
opening and it also
successfully showed
what we wanted it to
show.
The shot was in focus
and the lighting was
good. The composition
of the shot was, as we
wanted it. Also as the
actresses moves she
stays within the
composition therefore it
was able to flow into
the next shot.
The shot was in focus
and the lighting was

of the shot was, as we
wanted it. This shot was
able to flow directly
from the previous shot,
which is what we
wanted to keep
continuity within our
opening to avoid it
looking like a trailer.
Although the shot was
in focus, as the actress
moves, everything else
in the shot such as the
pillows moves out of
position.
As the actress moves
over towards the
camera, she becomes
out of the composition
We felt that the actress
moved too much and it
didn’t look realistic as
she was meant to be
sleeping.

well with this shot and

starts to become
distressed in this clip,
which is what we
wanted. It also flows
well into the next clip

the clip
The composition works
well with this shot and
it is in focus. The shot
flows well with the
shots, which would be
before and after this,
which will keep
continuity within the
opening.
As a group we decided
that we didn’t like the
angle at which the show
had been taken and also
it was different from all
the shot therefore this
would not flow.

the book was more
