Outline of film opening
My group consists of Emily Thomas, Rachael Welsh and myself, we will alternate roles whilst filming and editing to make sure we all contribute evenly, none of us will be acting because we have found volunteers to act for us.
We are going to film the first two minutes of our opening scene from our film TRAPPED. This film is a thriller and will be aimed at an audience of 16 and over. We chose to do a thriller because it is easily recognizable and the three of us decided to use it because we all like thirllers.
In the opening two minutes we will show a girl walking back home from a night out with her friends, as she says goodbye to her friends she is then walking home on her own, we will show the brief journey of her walking down the road until we see a silhouette of a person following her, she then drops her phone and as she bends down to pick it up she is kidnapped. Whilst she is walking home we will do flash forwards of her in a small inclosed space that looks like the inside of a shed, she is left there with a candle a sleeping bad and some craps of food.

Preliminary exercise and evaluation
My group consisted of Charlotee, Marianna and myself we produced a short film. In this film we had to include match on action, shot reverse shot, sound, mise en scene and general camera skills. We had to film someone walking through a door, walk across the room, sit down with another person and say four lines of dialogue.
Our exercise went well. All of the shots were steady and in focus because we used a tripod, our shots were also all correctly framed using the rule of thirds. The camera hight and position in each shot were correct as was the eyeline match. All subjects are clearly visible and we followed the the 180o rule. I wouldn't change any of the shots but i would include more shorts as our production was very short.
Our match on action was very successful and there were no jump cuts. The pace of the shots were correct and the transitions were not visible. Our shot reverse shot sequence went very well, our dialogue was clear and appropriate. I wouldn't change any editing decisions.
The lighting was good and the background setting was appropriate.I contributed by acting and helping to edit. Our team worked together well and we managed to create a well produced piece of work that we are happy with (despite our computer continously crashing).
