We are pleased with our final film production, and have learnt a lot about editing and filming throughout the procedure. One of our favourite stages of making our opening sequence was editing the clips, here we feel we learnt lots of new skills such as, graphical effects, sounds, blading, cutting and adding transitions to make the film run smoothly. We believe that this aspect of our film went very well, as the types of effects we used related closely to our genre and helped create a sense of fear and tension for the audience. For example, the flashing graphical effects helped the audience identify that the section of the sequence was only a fragment of Jasons memory. When it came to the actual filming, we feel we were able locate good areas to create a horror background,, we feel this really added to the scary feel to our opening sequence.
Our camera work showed a variety of shots and techniques, including panning shots, wide shots, closeups, handheld movements etc. As well as research on camera shots and movement, we looked back on our previous work we had completed in lessons which tell us how to use these shots effectively. We believe that our panning movement went very well as it was smooth, straight and at a consistent pace.
However when it came to the filming at lottie's house we accidently deleted a few of our essential clips off the camera and were unable to re film it. This meant careful editing was used to try and make it look as natural as possible. We did this by breaking up some of the scenes with the names of editors, directors and actors/actresses. The other thing we could have improved on is the length of our opening sequence. It is slightly short at 1 minute and 19 seconds, which is also due to the issue of accidental deleted clips. We could have therefore filmed more scenes in order to make the sequence slightly longer.
