DVD Cover

I really like our DVD cover as it really represents what our film is about without giving to much away. We gained a lot of inspiration from the DVD cover of Secret Window (pictured below). We liked the idea of merging two images and adapted this to our own cover. The main character on the front shows that the film is about him and the audience is left to wonder what in his past is he trying to escape from, as the tag line implies. The back works really well and the main image on the back is really striking and attention grabbing. I think our DVD works really well in anchoring our opening sequence.

Opening Sequence

I am quite pleased with our opening sequence. I think it fits the brief of creating an opening sequence of an opening film. Not too much of the story is given away and its quite ambiguous. It build's up suspense really well as we left the main action until the very end so that the audience wonders who the character is and what is going to happen. The music also works really well to anchor the clip. It helps to build up the suspense and leave the audience on the edge of their seats. We tried to vary the shot types we had and i think we have acheived this successfully in our sequence. These shots help to break up the action effectively and make the clip look more interesting. Overall I think that our clip works well and looks like the opening sequence of a film. The main improvement that we could have made was with the lighting and trying to make sure it was the same in each shot and also making our titles a bit more interesting.
