What did you learn from this analysis? How might this inform your production?
ReplyDeletefrom analysing this opening sequence i have learnt that it is important to try to condense shots to as short a length as possible in order to keep the sequence flowing and keep the audience engaged. For our own production, we should therfore ensure that we adopt this strategy so that our opening is dramatic and interesting to wathc. If we were to have longer shots, we should ensure that characters actions are fully illustrated.
