I chose these opening titles because I think that it really tells you what the story line is which I like, and there are so many different locations and facial expressions on the actresses/actors faces that is it really draws you in. I also like the fact that there are some bits recorded as if on a hand held camera, which also makes you feel like part of the family.

 I really like this shot because of the angle of the camera. I think that looking up to it feels like we are the ones who are flying it and immediately we feel like we are part of the film. I also like it because it could potentially represent the loneliness of the girl in the film, as it is the only thing we can see.

 I really like the effect of the picture fading away. I think that it looks a lot better than a picture just sliding out and it gives the audience more to look at. I think that the half black screen looks really good because the audience will look at the picture/filming and then get a better idea of the story.

 I think that this shot is really affective because it looks like the shots are filmed off a hand held camera and makes it feel like the whole story is really involving us. It makes me feel like we can really relate to the voice over and what is actually happening.

 I absolutely love these shots because of the camera angles, because of the actor’s expressions and the location. For the first, I love the closeness of the camera to the actors because it really brings you into the emotion in the film and makes you feel part of the family. The actors really make you feel like they are a family as their expressions are really happy towards the other person and they are really embracing each other. For the second, the thing that really catches my eye is the location as it really makes you feel like you are in the family home and with the affect of the actors expressions and the camera shot it gives of a really warm and pleasant atmosphere.

 I really like this shot because of the lighting affect. I think that it is really affective as the darkness of the shot really outlines the figure of the child which gives me a feeling of the child being there but in her own little world which may represent the story line.

I really like these two shots because they both look like they are in books, which really adds to the story line because it is about children and they love to read so it makes me feel more involved in the story and it is like the book is being shown to us through the film. I would really like to have a shot like this in my film because I feel that it is more that just plain ordinary and makes it more interesting to look at.
