Final Main Production Task

Here is our final opening sequence. We have taken into account our feedback from our questionnaires and have edited accordingly. We have made the editing smoother so that there are no lags and so that the pace is fasted to suit the tension of the sequence. we have also added the most voted for font for our 'Schizo' title to make it more appealing. To make the music more effective, we have stopped it at certain times and on top of this, added a drawing sound effect over the title so make it resemble someone drawing it out. I am very proud of what we have accomplished with this piece and I believe that we have produced it to the best of our ability.

Additionally, we realised that we made a spelling mistake for 'director of photography' in our other drafts for our opening sequence, and we have corrected it in our final piece. 

As well as this, we have decided to create an ending that creates more anxiety, so we have cut out the last 10 seconds where Lauren says "you?". This has made the sequence shorter and has made the audience more on edge because of the abrupt ending.

Second Draft - Opening Sequence

Here is the opening sequence that we showed our class and took feedback from them on how to improve it and create our final cut.

The main topic that came up was the ending of the scene in which the character says "you?". Some students said that they thought the editing of the ending was quite slow and it would be more dramatic if it was cut shorter.

We also got feedback to not use fake names, as we used here, and instead create the credits using our real names, so the opening is more personal. This would hopefully make the credits more effective in the opening sequence.

Here is our second draft for our opening sequence.
