1 - Costumes and Props - This frame shows one of the characters using the costume i gave him to wear in order for him to look like a monk. It also shows the torches and spades we used as props.2 - Visual Effects - I used fire for the visual effects, as i thought it would look much better if i shot the scene in the dark using fire to add atmosphere and an element of mystery, as it doesn't really show anything in extreme detail.
3 - Typography - The text i used for the credits was a very boring, standard font. I decided to change this for the title of the film and enlarge it slightly, to make it stand out. i chose to use really boring text for the rest of the credits as it was more important to watch the film that to distract the audience with funky words.
4 - Transitions - I made a lot of the scenes fade in and out, while putting the credits in the space between shots. I decided to do this as beneath the music, there is a heartbeat sound that the movie originally faded in and out of to.
5 - Lighting - This film was made using natural light, and fire. I decided to use fire as it gave the film a more medieval feel, as that's the kind of thing they would have used back then, compared to nowadays.
6 - Settings - As the first half of my film was filmed hundreds of years ago, as the second part was set in the present day, people got very confused without the explanation. I figured putting something telling the viewer that the year had changed dramatically might be more helpful than hoping they would guess.
7 - Framing - Most of my shots are framed quite centrally, or both focal points are either side of the screen, like when the guy is digging at the start. This isn't exactly the most interesting way to film things but i think for the opening it works alright.
8 - Camera Movement - This shot has been zoomed in, and is taken just before it zooms out. I quite liked the close up, as the chest crashes to the ground just in front of the camera. I didn't use many camera movement, there are a few pan shots, but they didn't fit with the cuts between what was going on.
9 - Narrative - This shot shows them looking into the chest, after having found something interesting. This is quite a good shot, unfortunately i didn't get the close up of their expressions when they find it that i really wanted. But apart from that i think it's pretty good.
