2) Why is Ruby looking at a wall?
3) Why is there shaking at the end?
4) What sound is going to be used in the opening sequence?
Positive points:
1) I like the shots at the beginning.
2) The beginning of the opening sequence is clear and has a understandable story line.
3) The lighting used fits well with the characters presented.
In our opening sequence, we used a variety of editing techniques to create a sense of psychological fear and the sense of fear towards the unknown in the opening sequence as we applied the enigma code.
The first editing technique that was used was layering, to help describe the main characters mental state, as well as causing a state of pity towards the character, as well as a sense of confusion and understanding of the character.
We also decided to use colour correction in our opening sequence to represent the difference between the present day and the past of the main character, to make it clearer to the audience.

Another example was flashing to also represent the characters mental state.
For our sub-genre, desaturation, colour isolation and green screen could work as the most effective psycho-trhiller effects. These would make good effects for our opening sequence as they can be manipulated to fit a scene, especially in the haunting scenes. Also with the green screen we can manipulate the screen to give the appearance that the child is there. Four way split can be used to demonstrate the characters feelings and emotions to build on the audiences emotions. Cropping allows us to crop out any mistakes and add things that aren't available to use in our location. Reversed clips can be used to add interest and depth to the scene; it allows us to make characters appear to do things that break the laws of physics.
Reversed and increased speed would fulfil the audiences expectations as it allows us to be able to manipulate and work with the camera and scenes.
In "Mara" they used shot reverse shot multiple times throughout.
The main types of editing effects used included: jump cuts, black and white colour effects and cutaway.
The only transition that was used was fade out.
The continuity rules that are used in "My Voices" include shot reverse shot and match on action. The shot transitions include fade in and smash cut; the main type of effects that are used include jump cuts and layering.
In the opening sequence of "Guilt" the continuity rule that it follows in shot reverse shot. It also uses 180 degree rules and invisible cuts.
We think that "My Voices" is the most relevant to our opening sequence. This is because it contains the key aspects that we aim to use, such as layering and fading in and out.
