Five Essentials: Foreshadowing - Post 29

 4th Essential of opening scenes is foreshadowing


Foreshadowing is very important because it helps have the audience know what to expect and build anticipation for your film. Subtle hints of information, feeling or sensation, and clues are things that can be found in the opening scene of many films. By placing them there, you leave the audience to expect and predict what happens next as well as leaving them to want to watch more.

I transitioned because I wanted to used an editing app that doesn't include their watermark or logo in the corner throughout the whole film video, so CapCut was the best choice. Due to my past experience editing, using the new app wasn't difficult at all; very simple.  As for my skills, I can see my development when comparing my two film videos. In my draft, I just shot it by the textbook and wasn't very considerate of important factors like setting and props. I directed a film opening that can be considered as criminal/mafia, yet, the settings, props, costumes, and mise en scene in general did not fit the match. It's evident that I only went for the story but not the story-telling. I believe my came
