Overall, we received positive feedback from our questionnaire. With having done this questionnaire, this showed us that the opening sequence we produced was up to our standards as well as the audiences. The genre of the sequence was shown clearly and the audience recognised the horror genre immediately which is great. The story line given in our clip was not confusing so this shows that our opening sequence was easily understood and it grasped our audiences attention.  

Final Opening Sequence

Vengeance

This is our final opening sequence for our film 'Vengeance'. As a group we feel that we have done very well to get this final result although it has been a very lengthy process. A lot of time was spent planning, doing research, preparing for filming, editing and also putting the final touches to the sequence.

Our final opening sequence varied slightly to the storyboard we put together. As we edited the footage we found several ways in which we could improve our original idea. Shots were added, altered and also removed. 

Through this process we also came across several minor problems which we were able to overcome. These were mainly during the filming process such as getting correct lighting which would be effective enough in our sequence. However this was easily solved by using lamps and torches to provide shadowy lighting. Apart from the few minor setbacks, as a group we were able to work through these and gain great results.
