First Film-

After filming our first attempt, we came to the conclusion that it was not a succesful task. We decided to film another opening due to many factors. In our first film, we included all the angles and included diaglog through the film. The film was based on a doll which came to life but only the girl knew it did, the doll stole thinks from the mum and stole knife from the kitchen which attempted to kill the girl in the end. The film is a 2 min opening and we produced it and it come to 4 mins, so cuting out 2mins is alot and made the plot discountious and not make any sense to the audience. Due to filming another opening it was down to many factors-

• We choose to do a horror as our genre, in the film opening we have already produced the audience cant tell it was a horror due to only been the first 2mins.


• The acting throught the film didnt come together and wasnt contious, another factor was extra talking in the background.


• The lighting in our opening didnt work, with using a industrial light in the night seen produced to much light and made the scene confusing and not sucessful. Also you could here the sound waves which made it hard to hear the dialogue.


• The story line didnt flow which was a huge factor, watching the beggining 2 mins you didnt get a good understanding of what was happening. This was factors off bad acting and trying to get the doll to move. And the film was made in 4 mins so we needed to cut down to 2 mins which meant cutting down dialgue which made the story confusing and difficult to understand.

In our next film we look at these factors to make sure we can improve and make it a better film.

Even thought the first film wasnt very good we decided to edit it and complete to have two opening to compare and let the target audience decided on which one they would rather watch.

Key Features; the key features in our first opening film-

1. Creepy sound track- bullet sho soundtrack, suspense effects.


2. Doll that come to life.


3. Lots of close up which brings more emotion.

This is our first 2 min opening we filmed and didnt think it would work.
