    1.) I first enjoyed the extreme close up. This clip does a very good job of showing viewers a clear view of the subject's eye. They say that "eyes are the windows to the soul", so the clear and close view of the eye provided me with both a vulnerable feeling for the subject, and a feeling that I was closer to the subject on an emotional level.
    2.) Next, I enjoyed the eye level shot. Since the eye level shot gives a feeling of talking or interacting with the subject directly on a personal level, I must say that this shot gave me a feeling of closeness and friendliness to the subject as if I were interacting with her face on.
    3.) Third, I enjoyed the flash shot. The director made sure to give no hint or warning that the subject would pop up by not including the subject in the beginning scene, so I surely felt shock when the subject came up out of nowhere.
    4.) Finally, I enjoyed the POV shot. The director included part of their hand in the film so as to make it seem like the film was coming from their eyes, which gave me, as a viewer, the feeling of understanding exactly what the director/subject was doing.

Filming Week 1

Image
This week my group did our practice run for our film. We took some practice shots in order to see what shots would work best for conveying what we wanted to show through our film, with a focus on suspense.  This is from a shot of me running from the beginning of the opening. The shot follows me as I run past the camera. This gives the audience the feeling that I am being watched which adds to the suspense. While the shot worked fine, we found it was a little difficult to film, so we decided the camera moving alongside me would be better. This shot shows my dead body from the end of the opening. We decided a high angle shot would work best as it would show the viewers my whole body. However, we noticed it was difficult to get the shot as the high angle made filming my whole body difficult from the horizontal angle.

Editing Week 1

Image
This week we began editing our film opening. After we uploaded the footage to Adobe Premiere Pro, we started by cutting our film. All of our videos had tons of extra footage of pauses, and us yelling cut, these needed to be edited out along with any other dead footage. We also lowered the exposure of the video to add to the suspense, but this had an inverse effect of increasing the volume. We also began adding in the music that plays through my headphones throughout the opening.
