To ensure that when filming all the shots taken were how we had planned and when we looked back on the shots taken they all flowed together and related to the story line we were following as a group we made a check list. We included a wide range of shots that will allow the audience when watching the opening o feel very involved in the events taking place. A series of point of view shots and low and high angle shots will give the audience a unique look into the events taking place. This will also hopefully allow the audience to feel emerged in the opening and allow them to draw their own unique conclusions about what is going on and what may take place thoughout the rest of the film. The plan also allowed all of our individual ideas to make it into the opening as when writing the ideas down we were able to put them into an order that would flow and make sense when being filmed and also in the final stages of editing would still work well together.
Good to see your planning of which shots to film here, June. Remember to blog about how well these plans went and evaluate their success.
