The Spot (First draft)

Me and my media partners first draft was The SPOT. This was based around a drug dealer and his freinds. The freinds murdered an enemy, so all freinds came together to have an drink of alcohol to celebrate the death of the enemy. Me and my partner thought this will be our ending product however we came to a conclusion that it wasnt really good. The cinematograhy wasnt great, the lighting in the scene wasnt great, the viewers couldnt hear the dialogue and also the story line wasnt great to.

So we kept this as a draft and done another opening scene which because we knew what was wrong with our previous one we knew what we have to improve so this helped us on making the new one better then previous one.

The easiest part of this opening scene was it was a easy story line so there wasnt much work put in also it took only 3 hours to record. On the other hand the hard bit was it took a really long time to edit as there was alot of videos to edit from.

Furthermore the opening scene was 3 minutes 28 seconds however it was meant to be 2 minutes but this one was way over. The reason why it was 3 minutes and 28 seconds is because we took long to record each scene. If we cut anything the whole opening scene wouldnt of make sense.

Also some other things were wrong with the video, the opening credits were wrong also it was to basic, it was all one font and it was covering some bits. For example the costume design was a very big font and it was in the way of the actors.

On the other hand the camera was not still in some bits of the video for example in the establishing shots the camera was not still because I didn't use the tripod. The focus of the camera wasn't great which affected the cinematography.

Another thing that we done wrong was we had the logo of the film coming in to quick it even came before the production company. In many other film openings the logo does not come in till later. The logo coming in really quick made our video unprofessional.

In conclusion all of these mistakes made us realise our faults and what we can do to improve to make a better opening scene.
