53. Preliminary
Grade:
With this task we learned how to edit and how
to use the camera in a variety of shots and
angles.
54. Opening Sequence draft 1
Draft 1:
Grade: 1B
We got this grade because our location and
framing was very poor and our focus. We also
didn’t use the editing techniques and transitions
affectively.
We now learned how to frame our characters
correctly, found a better location.
55. Opening Sequence draft 2
Draft 2:
Grade: 2C
We had this grade because the flashbacks we
was using was not affective and clear and our
credits was not good.
We now added extra flashbacks to be more
specific on what we want to emphasize.
56. Opening Sequence draft 3
Draft 3:
Grade: 2A/3C
We have this grade because we didn’t do well on
the titles and credits.
We now learned where to put the titles and
credits and we also use better fonts.
57. Opening Sequence draft 4
Draft 4:
Grade: 3A
We have this grade because we had good shots, and
our framing was very clear and we used rule of thirds
very affectively but our voice over was not correct
We now have a new script for voice over and we
added more shots.
58. Opening Sequence Final Draft
Draft 5:
Grade: A2
We got this grade because we had really good
framing, filming appropriate material for the target
audience.
We now learned that we should have had a voice
over for the male investigator and more variety of
shots.
