    What i learnt from the openings for se7ven and Vertigo

    Making a timeline for the movies Se7ven and vertigo allowed me to understand the level of importance of the people in the movie. There were some who were put in the very beginning by themselves and then others whom were grouped together towards the end. There was also a significant difference between the time each person got depending on how important they were.

    As a total, analysing the opening has given us a sense of what order we should put the credits in.

    what i have learnt from the preliminary task

    Whilst working on the preliminary task, it allowed us to develop a lot of the basic skills necessary in movie making through out the story boarding, filming and editing.
    whilst drawing the story you board we came across a few problems. one of these was that the characters features constantly changed. This problem meant people outside our group were unable to understand what was happening in each scene. We overcame the problem by redrawing the characters to make their features more clear.
    Through filming the task we also began to face problems with our time management. We were unable to finish filming the task. When we wanted to finish filming it we noticed that our clothing and setting  had changed . This meant that we had to re-film from he beginning. This taught us that we needed to make sure the costumes were the same throughout so we don't have continuity problems and cause the audience confusion.

    When editing the task we were able to experiment with the tools to create different effects. We also learnt how to cut them, put them into different orders, add sound effects and adding credits.

    As a whole the task gave us mind set we needed in order to avoid problems in the future, increasing the preparation for our movie opening.
