Last Weeks Lesson

In last weeks lesson, we were shown film openings from past AS students. Our focus was critical analysis of camera angles, use of editing for maximum impact and overall effect of a film opening. The element of suspense was the most eye catching for me. We spotted a few errors, and pin pointed what the group did wrong to not gain full marks. I now know what things I should avoid doing, for example, summarising the plot within 2 minutes instead of producing an opening, using only one type of shot, etc. I'm looking forward to planning my film opening as I have a real thirst for wanting to capture the audience and leave them in awe.
