Thriller Title Sequence 2010 Group 12

In this lesson, me and my group friends were told to create a mini title sequence. This was to practise using the camera and everything else that we learnt in the health and safety lesson. We were told to film a simple sequence with a match-cut while walking into a room - from the door, just after walking through the corridor. Then sitting across or standing across somebody and having a little conversation / dialogue amongst one another.
We made a simple story board about what we wanted to film for our practise title sequence, then we started to film. This helped us to improve our camera skills in many ways.
We learnt how to work on the camera:

Camera work is really important in filming because every little detail can change the way everything set out. The camera work is also as strong and important as the mise-en-scene in filming because every shot, angles and movement can mean something different to the audience if it isn't used correctly.

To improve our short clip we could have made a good shot reverse shot and extreme close-ups. This short clip has helped us because it has given us a taste of how it would be to film and we also know what more we can do to improve and make our work look even better.

In general i think we done quiet good for a first attempt in our filming and we now have a good idea of what we would be doing and its made things easier because we are now clearer on what kind of shots we need to take and the exact things we need to do. Preparation makes perfect!
