Self evaluation of initial opening scene

Firstly our opening scene did not meet my aims, when planning the scenes it was very stripped back and simple therefore I think when filming we presumed it would be the same. However filming was a struggle and getting every shot correctly was difficult especially as many of them consist of the female character walking. Moreover as an improvement, when completing our re-draft we are considering changing the plot of the opening as the first one was too boring and did not fit the genre conventions. I personally would not watch this film, the opening showed no excitement or thrill to fear the audience as we were trying to portray suspense. However this did not go as planned when all the female actor was doing was walking and the male actor was shown to not really fit into the context so it didn't make as much as sense as imagined. There are many changes that needs to be done, for example the plot of the opening, the titles currently do not match the genre, perhaps even get the actors to dress in a particular way to match the genre as well so the opening fits well together. Lastly, lighting needs to be changed as the aim was to have the last scenes of the opening in the outdoor car park however it was too dark therefore it was harder to see the actors. For the re-draft, we will have to change the location and not have the outdoor scenes and also find a form of lighting to use to brighten up the shots slightly.
