filming and of "captured" production.

when filming my production i decided that the first thing i was going to do, was to film it with a hand held camera. i decided to use this technique becuase i knew that it would give a shaky effect and looks more realistic, it also adds to the suspense of someone or something is watching you. when looking back at it i think that using a handheld camera really was the best thing for my production, i think it really goes well with the effects and transtions used in the editing process and defiently gives the opening title sequence mor edge and horror film dimensions.
when i filmed the title opening sequence i used my house due to weather circumstances, i decided that it would be based on a girl waking up becuase of her phone alarm, she then would use the bathroom and see the maked killer but then thought she was imagining this as wen she looked round he was gone. i used match on action shot from where i filmed the girl leaving the bedroom walking down the hallway to where she went to open the bathroom door. i then went inside the bathroom and filmed her walking through to complete this match on action shot.
nextly i used an over the shoulder shot, although this may have not been used to the best ability due to space, when the girl looks into the mirror she sees the unmasked killer, however when she turns around which was when i used the over the shoulder shot the masked killer had simply fanished.
during the filming i used close up, for instance when the girl was washing her face, although this was filmed from behind, the reason i done this was because it seemed as someone was so close to the girl it have a real feeling of suspense. the second time i decided to use a close up was when the girl finally comes face to face with her unmaksed killer just before the title opening sequence comes to an end. i used this as it was defiently the best shot to use for this, it empahsised the horror and sheer terror on this girls face it also was a good scence to end the title opening sequence in such a dramatic way. it leaves you wanting to see more as you know the girl has finally seen her killer, and you are going to want to find out whats is going to happen next. but after the girl screams the title for the produciton which is "captured" appears and you are left wanting to watch more. the idea for my opening title seqeuence was that what we were seeing was actually a clip that would appear in the film during its duration, it was a clip taken out that the viewers see before hand, as it gives a location a genre introduces the characters, gives a feel of the plot which all opening title sequences should do, it also leaves you wanting to watch more without giving too much a way. which is an element that makes up some of the best horror films known.
during the rest of the film i stuck mostly to medium closeups, the reason behind this was that it would make the viewers feel so close to the victim in waiting and that they were so close it was a common horror moment where you would want to scream the girl " his/she's behind you" where the girl was being followed so closely, it would hopefully fixate the viewers eyes on her and the unmasked killer all the time so they couldnt miss a thing.
