Research

Earlier this year, I researched film opening sequences. I analysed the opening sequences for a variety of films, such as: About a Boy, Kill Bill, Donnie Darko, Hot Fuzz, The Edukators and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. This preparation came in handy for when brainstorming, planning, and deciding aspects of our film such as the storyline, shotlist, and generally, how the opening sequence was going to be like - what it gave away, what it kept to build up suspense and so on. It helped me discover the keys to capuring viewers interests, and pulling them in to watching the film.

The picture below, shows the research I did on opening sequences. It was debated whether or not to type up this research onto the blog, but to save the little time we had, as we were quick getting onto the making of our production, I decided to just provide proof of it here. I wrote 8 pages of these notes; analyzing 10 different films. My teacher marked this work as a grade A, in her mark book and commented that it was "some effective and detailed analysis."
