The Beginning::

Group 1 consists of the following people (in broadway voice) Holly and Kat! We are the one and only (in broadway voice)!
In the beginning, we started to consider story boarding and the conventions of the continuity editing so that the narrative was read by the audience the way the director intended. We started by doing a storyboard as a whole class and then went into smaller groups. In the smaller groups we filmed our continuity exercise and finished off by touching it up with iMovie.
We then analysed a continuity piece that is available on the A level media blog, which we then story-boarded and filmed our own interpretation of it. We discovered that a short opening piece can be made of lots and lots of small scenes, and they aren't as simple as the final project makes out.
After that, we then filmed a short opening sequence where we had to include a circular pan shot, track/pan shot, Point of View (POV) shot, Over the Shoulder shot and we also had to create an enigma with the piece. After finishing this piece we started to analyse continuity sequences in thriller openings and we began to look at the way suspense is built and how enigma is created.
We are now intending to create a continuity piece. The first thing we are going to do is create a storyboard and then begin to film our sequence. What we aim to do through this process is create an enigma of suspense. The main priority for this piece is to teach us how the scene of the piece is portrayed towards the audience.
