First Draft Of Our Film Opening

From watching our first draft of our opening film sequence we have found areas where we need to improve and change and also come up with new ideas to add to it. The first change that we need to make is we need to make the shot of the gate at the beginning still because we didn't put it on the tripod so the shot is really shaky. We also came up with the idea of Holly standing in the window when we have the close up of the window at the start. We then decided that we need more close ups in our film so we thought of having a close up of Holly's eyes as we put eye make up on her to make her look more tired so we think it would be more effective to show that she is obviously tired and the lack of sleep is taking its affect on her. We will have the shot of Holly's eyes before we see the shot of Holly on the bed looking through the photo album. 

We then thought of other close up ideas that we could include we came up with shots of a candle, pictures, dolls, books and jewellery. When Holly goes to check if her mum is unaware of what she is doing we will have a close up of the mirror her walking towards the room and then go back to a mid shot. We also then need to make the TV noise louder. After that we then came up with the idea of her being cautious that someone is watching her or she could be hearing 'voices' whilst she is leaving the house whilst walking across the garden this will leave the audience wondering is someone actually following her or is it all in her head.
