Stalker Opening


Assessment

We had originally planned to use a variety of shots, such as; close-ups, long-shots, over the shoulder shots and moving shots. However with the limited amount of time to shoot, we didn't use as many of these as we'd have liked. We had framed most of our shots properly. When we filmed a high angle shot, we did it on two different levels in the building, so that had a more tense effect at what we were after. The only problem with our film is that the pace is quite slow. This is due to the lack of time we had editing. We had been cutting as many shots where possible but ran our of time to finish this. Our film could be improved if we finished editing the clips, like adding music, transitions and quickened the pace. We also think the quality of the film would have been better if we had more time, considering this was our first attempt. Well done us;)

Blog start.

Over the next couple of  weeks we'll be recreating 30 to 40 seconds of a student horror film in our own groups. When doing this, we will learn about camera framing, shot types, continuity, story-boarding and genre conversations.

Today we brain stormed our ideas for our own horror as well as how we'll recreate the students. We also started this blog.
