Note to Examiner

Dear Examiner,

I have been working on this blog for over 8 months, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so I hope that you enjoy looking through it.

The first section of this blog consists of analysing different camera techniques, before my posts move on to my preliminary task. The final section of my blog is comprised mainly of my analysis of some opening sequences and that of my own opening sequence.

Inspiration for my opening sequence

The main inspiration for my opening sequence was a scene from the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which the four hobbits are pursued by a mysterious rider and end up having to hide under a tree as they cannot outrun him. The scene culminates in a tense climax in which the hobbits are almost found, but narrowly escape. I chose it as an influence on my opening sequence as it builds up suspense brilliantly and I thought that it would therefore be a good model for the opening scene of a film.

My opening sequence features a very similar scene based on this one, and it is the climax, serving to make the audience want to watch more.
