For this task we had to choose a film opening to recreate, we had to draw up storyboards, gather actors, find a set, shoot the footage and edit it.
Luckily for me in this opening, the camera angles that were required were not too complicated. The angles we were capturing were taken from a straight point-of-view, it was fairly simple. However the first few shots were the hardest as we had to get close-ups of the belt, the suit and we also had to use focusing techniques. We used a wide variety of shots in our opening sequence such as the racking shot, medium-close-up, extreme-close-up, close-up and medium-long. We were able to gain the angles we needed with great accuracy. A major part that guided us through the filming was the storyboard. Nick and I came to realize that because there were so many different shots we could have easily lost track of what point we were at, it also helped us to figure out the timings, the camera angles we needed to use. The script was also very useful as the real opening has a lot of lines for the actor.
