Editing (Rough Cut): When starting to edit for my opening sequence, I split it into three parts: Walking (The character of Alice) Title sequence (on a separate document to the other 2 parts) Talking (between Alice and Jamie) I put the title sequence on to a separate file, as I will be doing most of the editing for this on After-effects. When doing this I will be adding animations to the title pieces and a fog/smoke mask to each scene to portray this eerie/mysterious atmosphere for the audience. The other two parts were done on Premier Pro and effects are yet to be added, as I have been working on the rough cut up until this point. Further effects will include this fog/smoke mask and adding objects to the scene, such as a dark figure in the distance. When editing for the rough cut, I started with the character of Alice walking around, making use of this scene to incorporate a variety of different camera angles and movements; such as POV shots and Over the Shoulde

Camera Movement (1)

Pan Shots Pan shot- This shot is used to make the camera look left to right, for example, in a scene where we are following the subject. A steadicam can be used to get a smooth or professional shot, or it can even be handheld , especially during a POV shot to make it look more realistic. Its is the most simple and common method of camera movement, and is often used to do a sweep of an environment, which can set the scene and introduce it to the viewer.  Whip pan-  This shot is similar to the pan, however it is faster so that it gives a blurred effect. It is commonly used as a transition between shots, and can express a change in time or scene. It can also be frequently seen in cartoons, often accompanied by a 'whoosh' sound effect.  Zoom Shots Zooming in/out- This does not require the camera to move, but it creates the illusion that it is further/closer to the action or subject. Zooming in can hold emphasis on a particular character or object,

Different Types of shots (2)

Close-Ups: Extreme Close up- Used for a specific reason, for example to show an emotion of a character and to focus on a particular area of the image, for example with the image on the right, the viewer is drawn to the subject's eyes and the reflection in their glasses, as some form of action is taking place, so it intrigues the audience and catches their eye. This shot can connote mystery and can be seen as very dramatic, often used in horrors/thrillers to create tension and suspense within the audience. Close-up- This shot is good for showing detail and can be used as a cut in (refers to showing some part of the subject in detail). In this example, instead of showing one feature such as the eyes, the whole face is shown, which makes it easier to portray the subject's emotion and exaggerates their facial expression. Medium Close Up- Is a in-between a mid shot and a close up , so it isn't too close that only the face is seen, so to a small extent, body la
