Today, as groups we watched over our opening wiht our teacher in order to recieve feedback as how to improve our footage. These are the pointers we recieved:
1. The titles are too big- they need to be more subtle.
2. An establishing shot is needed, with the cafe in view, a slow pan would also help to build tension.
3. Get rid of the mid shot/close up of sehb, instead just get the brief case and torso in shot.
4. Hold the shot of sehb sitting down- tension.
5. Slow the pace down.
6. Do not cut before the character leaves the screen- hold the shot.
7. Cut straight into Andy at the fence watching Sehb escape- editing.
8. More emotional reactions.
9. Instead of loads use just one good shot of Andy running off screen- cut to Sehb walking through the entrance of the train station.
10. Finish with Sehb on the train, get a shot of Andys reaction, last shot will be the train pulling away.
In addition, we also watched thriller openings as a class and were shown how to effectively build tension and suspence through slow pace of editing, close ups and music matching the narrative. I found this usefull as i was shown exactly how to improve the coursework.
