Rough Cut Completion and Presentation

The rough cut of our piece was finished and given in on time. This was then presented to the class along with every other groups and as a class we compared and commented on what we thought was the best and worst of the class. We discovered that even though our first minute was of A grade standard, it started to loose its appeal on the second minute, a common problem with the other groups also. To improve our footage, we have to make sure that our piece doesn't become too confusing, and so we will have to re-edit our piece again so that as an opening, it shall flow smoothly and still keep the audience gripped. To get ideas, we watched openings to thrillers as a class and noted down the conventions in which were used quite commonly in the thriller openings. Conventions most used were having all the titles sequenced at the beginning of the openings along with music to fit the genre of film being shown. Actual filming with characters were not the main focus and establishing the scene and main characters were vital for each opening. So, we have taken these conventions into account and will use these ideas into our own opening when re-editing.
