When the audience watches our sequence, we hope that:
- They express interest in our story, which unlike some action films, is a major feature of our film
- Our characters are recognisable, yet compelling. The action genre has a number of easily identifiable character types, but at the same time we wanted our characters to be more unique.
- The look of our scene interests them. Although there are minor issues with grading and lighting, we hope that the isolation of our setting creates an interesting effect.
High points:
- When we were able to keep our actors focused, our shoots were very fun.
- It was enjoyable watching the progression of our sequence from a simple idea into a fully fledged sequence
Low points:
- There were times in which I felt that the other members of my group were not taking an active role in the project. As a result I had to take responsibility for a lot of work.
- We had to have several back-up shoots due to a lack of communication between myself and the other members of the group. Although I had made a checklist of necessary shots, the other members of my group insisted on re-shooting everything. As we didn't have time for this, we ended up missing some key shots.
Having had a chance to reflect on our opening sequence, I am very happy with what we have been able to produce. Going in to this project, I wanted to make sure that our production stood out as an interesting and high-quality sequence. As there were many other groups in our year making comedy or drama film openings, I was adamant that our sequence must have an engaging story and a compelling pair of lead characters. Although our choice of action as our genre introduced many difficulties, such as the editing of the gunshots and the setting of a poker game, I believe we have overcome the majority of problems we encountered. Unfortunately, there were a number of minor continuity issues, but these would have been impossible to solve without another week of shooting.
