Final idea and storyboard for final task

i was thinking of doing a like start of a horror movie.

firstly, she will open her eyes and a shovel hits her in the head then she wakes up in the morning when she has come around, the camera angle is going to be her point of view when she wakes up and shes going to be looking around, she quickly looks at the window which has been mysteriously opened which she don't recall opening she also notices her sister not being there. she gets up out of bed and walks around slowly to keep the audience in suspense, she flicks on the light and when the light turns on, her hand quickly catches her eye which is covered in blood, she gets freaked out. You haven't seen her face yet. She quickly runs the the nearest mirror and switches the light on, then you hear a massive scream and a black screen will appear with the title.

when the camera is on her point of view it is blurred because she wears glasses, but when its normal other shots the focus is clear.


the following picture is my storyboard:

Saturday night fever opening sequence- Evaluation

Evaluation
From filming this process I have learnt several things. I have learnt to work and organise the film crew and directing cast. I also organised the costumes and getting the actor changes and the props and being in the public eye in costume. I also put my camera skills in progress and knowing what camera angles I needed to include and when. I learnt how to be clear about what I am trying to achieve. I realised how important it was to make a shot list and a storyboard. I appreciated the importance of time management, everything I did take longer then I thought. I had to understand to importance of planning. I had to be professional about it and understand the importance of acting skills to produce a convincing project. I learnt the value of patience and experienced working with reliable people. Also, i used sensitivity when selecting locations to get the best out of your actors. I had to be aware of the weather conditions and the personal comfort or discomfort of my actors or crew.

When i was editing my film, i learnt several things like how to set up a project, how to import and export footage, cutting footage, unlinking sound, scaling and resizing clips in point and out points, adjusting framing and realising the importance of good camera work, the importance of lip syncing, understanding the value of pace, flipping film where necessary, speeding up or slowing down, titles and font styles used and found out how difficult this was to match the original font.

Ideas for main video sequence

My first idea:
Well, there is going to be 2 different places that are going to be filmed. In the first setting it will be of a deserted house and in there their will be a person lying there dead and the house is all messed up and there is a phone ringing in the background and then the second setting is of a person running away scared and she's all flustered.


My second idea: 'THE UNKNOWN'
i was thinking of doing a like start of a horror movie.

firstly, she will open her eyes and a shovel hits her in the head then she wakes up in the morning when she has come around, the camera angle is going to be her point of view when she wakes up and shes going to be looking around, she quickly looks at the window which has been mysteriously opened which she don't recall opening she also notices her sister not being there. she gets up out of bed and walks around slowly to keep the audience in suspense, she flicks on the light and when the light turns on, her hand quickly catches her eye which is covered in blood, she gets freaked out.
