Our total time length came to about 1 minute 10 seconds; this created a problem as we realised that roughly, the length of the total opening sequence needed to be around 2 minutes 30 seconds. The storyboard is our first draft, so this has enabled us to be aware of specific things. My group now knows that the length of the opening sequence needs to be longer and we can solve this by adding more things and changing timings for certain frame shots.
We also discussed with my media teacher whether the title to the film 'The Camera Man' was appropriate. This was because we came up with a problem that the title could suggest that the 'Camera Man' was perhaps working for the police in a case for example because the idea is that we do not know who he is, however, we want to convey that he is an obsessed stalker but not know why he is. We discussed that the name 'camera' suggested a more 'investigating' representation, however, we came up with a title name of 'Video Camera'; this name suggests it's less professional and more stalker-ish because 'video-ing' someone is slightly odd and more perverse which is what we want to show.
Lastly we talked about a good soundtrack to go with the representation of this perverted, obsessed/OCD man. We thought a non-diegetic sound of piano keys in the background would suit the piece well as it could help set quite an uncomfortable, eerie tone. This sound would not be very involving meaning that it would not be loud and pacey, it would set a slow, waiting pace which supported the man's actions and his OCD.
