A) Does the order of shots make sense?
the orders of the shots make sense up until the end of the rough cut. The shots at the end of the film were in a different location.
B) Is the order the same as how you planned it?
No, the storyboard was created by another member of the group and it wasn't taken to the filming of the title sequence so a lot of the shots are improvised. Here is the updated storyboard.
2) The quality of the camera work.
A lot of the shots taken were jittery and from bad angles. We had to go back and film the shots again using a tripod. I made sure that we used unique and interesting angles for the title sequence.
3) The variety of shot types used
There were many abstract shots in the title sequence. For example we used a low angle to film the footsteps of the killer. This didn't reveal too much of his identity so that the suspense was built up.
4) The use of lighting
The recording took place in the forest so the shots created a dark, grim atmosphere. The colour was also edited in adobe premiere to reduce the contrast and tint the shots in a greenish tone. This helped to make the sequence fit the theme of a thriller/horror hybrid.
5) The performance of the characters
The female protagonist was played by a member of group 23. She moved here eyes left to right showing her fear of the killer as the fact is unable to locate him. The male killer (myself) walked slowly and calmly. We see very little of his face so we don't know his intentions, but we can tell that they are bad because he is stalking the female protagonist in the woods.
6) The use of mise-en-scene with locations, settings, props and costumes
The location the recording took place was in Highgate Woods. The atmosphere was dark and grim, developing the setting of the thriller/hybrid 'Behind You'. There weren't props in the title sequence because they were left out in during recording. The killer wore a hoody and a mask to conceal his identity. The female actor wears a pair of jeans and a black jacket.
