Film Project: Preliminary Sequence (what was learnt)

From doing the Preliminary Sequence alot was learnt and many skills were improved. The main things we learnt were how to work around the camera, the shots we were unsure how to do. Main skill that was learnt was how to edit, we now know how to work around Final Cut Express, the editing the software we are using, we know how to put in transitions and input font. There is still alot more features to learn about Final Cut Express, but we are defiantly on the right track and will be able to use it to its full ability.


The shots we used our sequence were shots such as a low angle, panning, over the shoulder. These are all shots that we will be using in our actually opening sequence. We also caused tension with the red herring with the scarf, it was not so clear but i think it was a good idea and showed our cinema knowledge.

Film Project: Preliminary Sequence

Here is the preliminary sequence which me and my group made. Preliminary means prior to or preparing for the main event, in this case our Film Intro. We had a go with the camera to find out how to use it and work the buttons so when we came to making the Introduction we wont waste time. It was also to look and film different shots such the reverse shot, steady cam, panning, low angles and tracking all shots that will help us make a good film.

For our sequence we choice a sort of city workers theme, two high status city slickers arrange a meet. Then an entrance of someone, we are not sure if the scarf is going to be used to strangle or put on him. It turns out to be the workers secretary and this causes a red herring and we expect something bad to happen
