Last Day: Finishing Our Film

It is our last day for our practical work today and our opening sequence is completed.
We have added titles into the sequence to make it look more realistic, We have used DNA flims as our film company, because they are British and our film is British. We have other title such as; Directed By Steve McQueen who is a very well-known director therefor an audience will take our film more seriously.

Music has played a big part in our filming process as Joe and Alex have created it from scratch. It has been a long process but today we finally had it ready to fit in with the clip. We had to make sure that the music fitted in with different scenes of the clip therefor we shortened and added extras to particular parts of the sequence so it was in time with the music.

At the end of the sequence a title appears 'Birmingham, 19th September 2001' This reveals to the audience that the story will go back in time, to show what happened to the girl before she left, this added to the music, creating suspense.

We believe that we have a created an opening sequence that will hook in our target audience. We believe this because it is based around a teenage dilema that some teenagers may relate to in ways such as being in the same situation or knowing someone in the same situation. We believe that our clip is effective because of everything we have used such as filming techniques, editing , music and mise en scene.

Location

We have shot our opening sequence in various location the main location is the woods at corporation park, we chose this location for the running away scenes becuase we though it would help to create a more eiry and lonely effect to the sequence. It also help to create tension becuase most shot for filmed from behind trees and bushes, to give the perception that she is being followed. The flash back scene were filmed at my house, we filmed the violent scene in a dark doorway, to help adapt the sense of darkness to the opening sequence because it would not look right if a violent scene was filmed in a well lit area.
