production Meeting

 In one of our lessons me and jack Lucas were watching opening sequences of films to try and get an idea and a understanding of what we want ours to be like. watching these different opening sequences can help plan our story board because we can get an idea of some of the camera shots we want involve in our opening sequence.

The opening sequence clip that me and Jack Lucas were watching was kidulthood because this related to the story line of our opening sequence and gave us a good indication of how we were going to film our opening sequence. We found that the more opening sequences of films and short movie clips we watched the easier it was to know what we wanted to do. It can also give us editing ideas and also the type of soundtrack we want to use.

Dream elelments

Important elements to consider when filming a dream sequence:

Its important to consider a number of different elements when trying to film a dream sequence. You have to make the audience believe that he is dreaming and make it realistic but at the same time you don't want to make it so obvious, this is what me (Toby) and jack are trying to achieve so that its slightly mysterious which keeps the audience guessing and wondering whats happened without making them confused.
In order to achieve this we will have too:

• make sure the camera shots are high angle as if being watched from a 3rd person point of view to reinforce that fact that hes dreaming.

• we need to make some of camera shots dutch angle and close ups that show unnatural expressions on their face. which can make the audience feel on edge and if something isn't quite right

• We may also decide to add some slow motion in to give the effect that hes dreaming and what hes seeing and hes doing is not want he would normally do in everyday life.. the slow motion will really get the audience to focus on that specific part. then the shot after mat be very quick and suddenly it changes to give a real shock

• Another important element to remember is when we are editing we will need to play with colour treatment and edit by brightening up the colour treatment or fading it right out by taking all the colours out of it
