We learnt a lot since completing our preliminary task. We learnt how to perfect camera angles and ended up using many of them in our opening sequence. However, we experimented and managed to use these shots in more complex ways. For example, when filming the interior shots - shown in the first still from our film opening - the space we had to get our shot was very limited. But in the end, with the knowledge we learnt from our preliminary task and using team work, we got the great shots we needed for our film opening.
We used a large variation in shots in both our opening sequence and preliminary task. Including, shot reverse shot, match on action, extreme close up and even kept the 180 degree rule.
In our opening sequence we use a lot of jump cuts. We filmed Katlyn standing in spooky locations and then filmed the Devil in the exact same place, same location but in his separate shot. We did this so it looked like the Devil is chasing Katlyn, controlling her thoughts. In each shot, both the Devil and Katlyn get closer and closer to the camera and as we see the final close up shot of Katlyn, she looks possessed and most importantly scared which again adds emphasis that she is being chased by the Devil. To this shot we added a special effect which made the characters appear even more dark and evil.
In both our preliminary task and our opening sequence Agnes acted in both, therefore she had less to do with the actual filming but however she had a lot of say in the conversation of which shots we were to use. Jo had a high contribution to film both our filming tasks. Moe wasn't in our group during our preliminary task, however, he really shone through when we were planning our movie and researching other movies. All together, everyone in our group worked very hard as a team and we managed to create a solid piece.
