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 char...

Different Types of shots

Image
Long Shots: Extreme Long Shot (or extreme wide shot)- This type of shot provides a lot of context for the viewer as it covers such a large area, where a lot of different events can be taking place at once. The shot is able to show the subject (or focal point) and what surrounds it, which is what gives away more information and context to the audience.   Long shot (or full body shot)- Like in the example shown, the long shot features the whole figure/subject, so the main focus is now on the subject, and not the environment around them. The subject is placed in relation to the environment around them, for example, in this image we can see that the character (Jack Sparrow) is a pirate, so it makes sense that he is seen on a beach or by the ocean. This shots also feature a lot of action, which is also shown in the example on the left.  Long shots are also very similar to (or in most cases the same as) wide shots, as the subject takes up the whole frame, the bot...
