Week 4-5:Within these two weeks we started to complete our preliminary task. We had to pick a genre from a list and create a 30secs-1 min opening with the use of the 180 degree rule and use a shot/reverse shot. The opening also had to include a character crossing the room and then he/she had to sit down opposite to another character.
Week 5-6:
We had to finish and edit our opening scene from last week and then upload it to our blog so we could analysis it. We had to write what want well with it and what changes i would make to it. We also had to have the script and the storyboard uploaded with it.
Week 6-7:
We were given the next task of recreating the opening scene of Juno. First we had to write down every shot that was shown so we could then keep referring back to them when recreating our own Juno opening sequence. We were given a week to finish and edit the opening.
Week 7-8:
Within the last few weeks we have been finishing anything that had to be completed and complete out Juno opening sequences and edit them fully.
