In the preliminary task we had to make sure we used shot reverse shot, I think I incoorperated this into the task well and although I didn't use it in my opening sequence I am comfortable with using these shots.
When editing I used a lot more effects and had to put in a lot more work on my opening sequence than I did in the preliminary task. I think just from watching both video's you can see how much I have progressed and the difference in their quality. When cutting the scenes I had a lot more work to do as I had much more footage than I needed and had done the different scenes a few different times to see which one was the best.
My preliminary task took about an hour to film whereas my opening sequence was filmed over a few days. I had to do more filming after looking at the footage I had collected all together because I felt there was something missing. As my preliminary task was only short, I got it done quickly. I used a big variety of shots in the opening sequence including; Close up, following shot, pan shot, wide shot, Mid shot, Medium close up, zooming and tilt.
When filming the preliminary task I had to be careful to stick to the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule means that when filming the shot reverse shot, the characters should be facing the same way in every shot, if the camera crosses the imaginary axis you have not used the 180 degree rule correctly.
I used a lot of different shots and camera angles in my opening sequence than I did in my preliminary task and this made the opening sequence a lot more interesting.
This is one of the close up shots in my opening sequence.
This is a screen shot of a pan shot. I think this shot was used much more effectively than in my preliminary task.
