Idea for film has changed
My Idea for the film has completely changed, and another person has joined our group, so our film will now be completely different. Instead of a slasher horror, it will be a drama/ thriller.
here are some videos that would have been used for the previous film
The film will no longer be called Withdrawl, it will now be called Horses Head.

The invisible opening scene
This is the opening scene to the film " The Invisible" which starts with a panning shot over the ocean then into a forest with a city in the horizon which then dissolves into a birds eye view pan over the forest, then another fade into some sort of party in a rich modern building. Then in the same shot you hear a speech for a boys birthday, and follow the boy as he gets a piece of cake, go downstairs to eat it, sit down, then into a close up shot of the boy getting a shotgun and aiming it to his face, then it is discovered it was a nightmare. The camera is constantly moving throughout the introduction an it consists of only four shots in total, and the music gives the impression hat the scene is meant to be sad in the shot where the main character walking around his party. The introduction is clearly meant to based on the character.

Match on action
Match on action is an essential cutting technique which makes sure that each shot corresponds to the next shot. For example if there is a shot of someone opening a door, from one side, there would be a shot of the person walking through from the other side with the same posture, and in time with him opening the door from the previous shot, so that it looks like one fluent movement.
180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is vital while filming conversations between characters . The camera is not allowed to rotate around the characters past 180 degrees , or else the audience will get disorientated because both characters will appear to be facing the same direction.
Every successful film uses this basic rule.
