Feedback
''The camera shots within the first sequence are very good, I particularly liked the last shot with candle in the foreground and the background out of focus. From the opening sequence you can tell that the genre is period drama.''
- Jack Johnson.
''I enjoyed the opening sequence although I felt like the titles dragged on a bit too long. Aside from this the camera work is very smooth and all the shots are very clear, the whole opening sequence looks professional.''
- Joe Haddow.
Evaluation
I am happy with our first draft. I think that the opening shot has a range of interesting cinematography. I really like the last shot of the lit candle in shot with the writing of the letter in the background out of focus, I feel as though this shot symbolises the confusion Billy is experiencing when writing the letter to Elizabeth, is this the right path to take? Nothing is clear to Billy. From the feedback one of the things that was mentioned was the timings of the credits and the opening sequence where Billy reads the letter people said that they were too long, we agreed with this statement and we have sped up our titles and removed some of the speech Billy makes within our final version. Apart from the timings of the credits and Billys speech I'm really happy with the font and I'm pleased with how the images came out on the parchment background. Overall I am impressed with our first draft and how professional it looks.
