Review

For our AS course we were told to make the opening two minutes of a film. I was in a group with Chloe, Adele and Paige. We were given many options of what we could make our film opening about but we chose to venture into the horror musical genre. We chose this style in particular because we felt it was something different to the typical conventions of a horror film. I also think that through our good use of camera movement and lighting techniques that it gave us another dimension to our film and also the way in which Chloe did our editing in an effective and scary way to emphasise the film itself. When it came to making out film last year I found it a very rewarding experience to see what our hard work actually achieved, having only ever watched films before I was not aware just how much work was needed to be put in to make a great film and felt that the hard work which we put in was very effective for our opening two minutes.  I think the next time we do any filming that we should make sure to plan effectively to get the best out of our filming time and to maybe also help Chloe with editing as we found out that was the hardest job.
