Movie Openings

This lesson was based on the opening of movies. We watched a documentary on the importance of the movie opening and trailers. This was to help guide us when creating our movie openings. To make sure that we had a clear understanding of the documentary we were given a series of questions to answer. The documentary analysed all aspects of a movie such as the Mise-en-scene, editing and sound. We made note how the overall effect was created from the camerawork, sounds editing and so on.

We then watched the openings of student’s short films from last year. Our class (including me) was either very critical or the total opposite with each short films we watched. After we viewed each short clip we were asked to guess the provided grade. Most of us estimated accurately.
Eventually I left the lesson earlier than others due to last minute revision for another exam.
