Diary Post - 3

In class we have been editing our preliminary task to upload to our blogs. From editing the preliminary task I have learnt a few things. I have learnt that it is important to get lots of footage in order to make it easy for yourself when it comes to editing the final product. The more footage there is the more footage you have to choose from, therefore it it easier to make the final product look that of a higher quality. Also at home I have been watching films similar to the genre of the film I am going to make the opening two minutes of. Whilst watching them I have been analysing the opening two minutes of each of these films. As well as this I have been looking at any other parts of the film that I could take ideas from. This includes things such as camera angles/shots and font for the opening titles. From watching these films I have been taking away ideas to try and use in my own opening two minutes in order to try and make sure that it is the best possible product that it could be.
