Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?

Making the opening sequence for the movie Vanish was such an educational experience. I as the director learnt a lot from the planning and research up to this stage the evaluation.

During the research and planning we were assigned to analyse different horror movies, looking at different things such as

During this period i learnt about what title would match horror movies, and also from the picture analysis l learnt the type of things that normally take place in the horror movies, as displayed in the picture above.

We also did the preliminary task.

On the preliminary task, the assignment sheet stated the kind of things that were gonna be marked and these included

• I80 Degree Rule - from this l learnt how to shoot on the right angles, but not crossing the 180 degree line, and this will be easy to edit. If the 180 degree rule is broken, it will result to the audience getting confused.

The other things l learnt is continuity editing. This is what's used in most movies, and at the same time hard cut and jump cuts for horror movies.

Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

As for this project, there where so many techonologies that we used for the opening sequence to be a success.

Firstly straight from the start l used blogger, and this is where l posted all my research and planning, and the one l'm still using. Blogger is more convnient, all the work will be inorder at one place. It is also good because there will not be any need of carrying files of the work, but insteady one can just look at their blog and see all they want to do, or all they have done.

After the research and planning, we ,moved on to the next stage which is the production stage and here we used many technological equipment. On this stage the camera operator/videographer worked with the equipment more.

Firstly we had a camera that we used to record every action that we wanted.

For the camera to work we used a charged battrey and a recording tape where our information/recording was going.

Besides thecamera we also had a tripod and that's where we placed the camera when it was necessary. I learnt that a tripod is used to keep the camera still, it is very stable and it is to be used when necessary, it is also better than using a hand, or hand holding the camera.

After shooting all that we wanted, it was time for the editor to do work, and for the editing part we used final cut pro to edit our opening sequence.

For us to get the video from the tape to the computer that we edited on we used a capturing deck.

The tape had to be put into the deck and then log and capture. After having the capture on the computer then the editing had to be started.

Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?
