When we looked and researched film opening we found that they used a variety of camera shots and angles, above are a few that we found were most commonly used and we will try and use these in our opening sequence.

Film Pitch - One Last Heist

Storyboard for Breakfast at Tiffanys Opening Sequence


This lesson we had to create a storyboard for a film opening of our choice. We chose Breakfast at Tiffany's, we had to then draw what was happening in that scene and write what type of camera work/shots we being used, what it showed and the effect on the audience. From this task we learnt how much you can gather from the opening of a film and how much work goes into making it. Also we learnt from this clip the use a range of camera shots in our own opening as it appears more effective.

Juno Storyboard - Preliminary Task



























When filming for the Juno preliminary task we watched the actual opening of Juno to make shots precise and actuate. We made a storyboard to make filming easier to know what shots to film and what order they need to be in to re-create the actual film opening. Making these storyboards helped us be more organised when it came to filming and editing as after uploading all the clips from the camera to Premiere we could use the storyboard to figure out the order of shots. Also when we came to editing the footage we could also know where the shot was meant to be and what transition it needed to have to move onto the next shot. I would use this when we plan out actual film opening as it helped the filming be more organised as we knew what shots we had to film.
