Product Research: Pretty Little Liars Opening Sequence

The opening sequence of the Pretty Little Liars is very mystery-thriller because the viewers do not see the  face of the girl, who may be a victim being put into the coffin.  The lyrics in the theme song however contrasts from the girl in the coffin being innocent "Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead", 'two' being the girl in the coffin and each girl standing over it individually have a secret with the girl in the coffin, and two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. 

The four leading teenagers seem to have authority over the coffin because they're standing over it which shows they are more powerful, they are also wearing similar clothing which could hint they are friends, which means there is more power on their side because there is more of them. On the other hand, the girl in the coffin is being groomed whilst being put into the coffin, this could show her characteristics of being a popular girl and this is revenge from the four girls.

The title of the show Pretty Little Liars hints the the four girls are not innocent because 'Liars' is not a plural, which could hint the girl in the coffin is innocent. The name of the show being put against clouds which are misty and light at the same time is a sign of double character and going from light to dark, putting yourself in danger. 

Preliminary Task Update

We at Uncut Production had a great time filming the second half of our first preliminary task.

With Nasir and Hikmat taking the stage as our leading ladies Vivian and I took rein of the tripod, making sure our camera angles and framing were on point.

Having now included the important techniques of shot-reverse-shot, match on action, and making sure we kept to the 180 degree rule, Uncut Production can finally get to piecing it all together!
