We used match on action to ensure continuity. This is important as we would want the film to be as fluent as possible so it wouldn't effect the audiences cinematic experience. This means that when the audience watch our film it will be easy to watch because everything will flow. This will mean that the audience will find the film easy to watch because nothing is being missed out, so the scene is continuous. Also, in our opening we used a series of close ups. This is effective because we wanted the audience to see the facial expressions of our characters so they can understand how the characters are feeling. The point of this is that the audience will know exactly what the characters are feeling which could make them feel more tense because they would be able to tell if the characters are scared or not and if they know what is going on. We also used a tracking shot of the trees. This is effective because it is showing what Abbie can see. The camera is Abbie's eyes so therefore the audience will be seeing the woods from Abbie's point of view. This may make them feel more tense because they are getting a glimpse of what the woods is like. We also used over-the-shoulder shots. This is effective because it means that the audience can see everything that is going on however not directly from the characters eyes- slightly behind. We used these shots because it means that the audience will be able to see everything that's going on and it creates the feeling that they are watching the characters because they are watching them from behind. We used quite a lot of long shots. These long shots are effective because as well as being able to see the full length of the characters the audience can also see the surrounding woods. This is a good thing because it means that the audience will know and see exactly what the woods is like which could lead them to feel more tense because they can see that the woods look quite gloomy and spooky.
