Two peers watched and then assessed my opening sequence. Both wrote comments and targets for each of these following areas; sound, introductions (characters/locations/storyline/genre), titles and cinematography/editing. This has proven to show useful as both peers have given similar and different comments and targets for me to think about.
Comments
- The credits were effective and didn't disrupt the characters actions.
- Match-on-action technique was well used.
- Relationship between the characters was clear and well conveyed.
- Audio levels were consistent in being fairly clear.
Targets
- Title of the film didn't stand out and was unclear.
- A wider range of shot types could be used. For example, when she locks the door.
- Possibly use some transitions instead of just cutting. (Fade to black was suggested to break it up a bit)
- Shot lengths could be longer to emphasise it's genre.
- Female character's personality appeared too nice and should be more depressed/sad.
- Music could be faded a little more when approaching the dialogue and then following a more subtly introduction of the music volume.
Some of these targets have reinforced some of my own targets/issues that I was aware of within the sequence. I will attempt to rectify some of them if possible. Others however can be solved without the need of re-filming certain shots to improve my opening sequence.
