Practical Task - Feedback on idea

Nick King, a professional editor with over 20 years of experience in the field came in to talk to us on the 8th of December 2014 to discuss our Practical Task opening scene ideas and give his professional opinion on them.

After one of our members, Barney Kleinman presented our idea to King he gave us feed back and recommended us to act on the following:

• To build up tension and drama until the opening titles appears
• To create a vast variety of camera shots from different positions so that when it comes to editing we have multiple choices meaning we can produce the scene to the best standard possible
• To start with a wide shot so that we can establish the scene as a man in messed up flat on the brink of suicide as the audience can seet a tipped over bottle of alcohol and pills spread across the floor
