What I contributed to our children's film opening

In Class:

• I produced the opening sequence by giving ideas for what should happen in the film opening and the kind of shot types that should be included to help the audience understand the narrative.
• Helped to find good locations for the film opening.
• I also filmed most of the scenes in the film opening, I used the storyboard while filming so the right shots were used.
• I helped with editing on some of the fight scene and edited the soundtrack in under the videos so that the music faded in and faded out were appropriate.
• I was one of the extras in the film opening, the character I was playing was a pirate.
• I designed the opening titles of the film and did a small storyboard showing what my ideas were for the opening titles.

Outside of class:

• Made a parts of my pirate costume and found a white shirt to wear for my pirate costume
• Analysed an opening sequence of the children's film 'Over the Hedge' to see how other films opened and to get ideas for my own opening sequence.
