Finished Opening sequence

Overall, I'm fairly pleased with the opening sequence that our group created. I think the mise-en-scene works well - particularly the character's dress codes and the location. I think we did quite well in terms of shot variation since we had lots of different distances, angles and levels. I particularly like the low level tracking shot of the villain's feet, with the victim in the background. I also think that the diegetic sound worked very well, especially sound of the rustling leaves at the beginning. The slow shutter speed was also really good at conveying how drugged the victim was.

There were also a few things that we could have done better. Some of the movement in some shots could have been a bit smoother (where necessary), but this could really only have been done with even better equipment. And, I think the capture at the end could have had a bit more impact if we'd shot if slightly differently and used some different non-diegetic sound. The final shot (a pan of the pictures on the wall) is a bit too dark, and this means that the picture of the new girl cannot be seen very clearly (particularly in the YouTube video), so it would have been much better if the shot was lit a bit better.
