I was just browsing Youtube looking at past AS Media Studies film openings that have been done and I came across this one only it's not an opening to a film, it's a trailer but it has given me some ideas for the film opening I will be creating in the future with my group. There are multiple reasons why I enjoyed this one. The first one is the transition at 0:07 which caught my eye right at the start and made me want to watch more. I like how the transition went straight into a slow motion effect. I also liked how the face-to-face technique is being zoomed out at 0:21. An extra long shot is used at 1:33 that shows the person in the background and their purpose for being there which could be useful for our own. Lastly, blackout's have been frequently used that cut the different shots taken to show depth. This trailer has really inspired me to create something of a similar level.

  1. Alyce, this is JUST the kind of thing you should be blogging about.. and the way you should be writing about films/clips of interest..

    Superb detail with the timings - it made me check them and I agree with you, they're brilliant transitions - can't wait to hear your idea now for whatever film you want to make.

    Awesome - keep this up.
