This is the final product of our preliminary task.
I believe the use of synchronous sound worked perfectly as the music stopped the moment Kenya took out the headphones from her ears, to show the sound was also diegetic and Kenya was listening to the song Kenya was listening to.
The use of match-on-action worked well, it shows how Kenya moves through two scenes, however I think the walk through the corridor to the door was too long, but I wanted to show how Kenya moves from the corridor to the room to meet Tanisha.
The transition from Kenya entering the room to the two shot of Tanisha and Kenya sitting across the table, however the background noise of the fan, distorts the voices, also the voices of Tanisha and Kenya are at a low volume, which in hindsight, we should of tested how the recording would sound on the camera or used a boom mike.
When using the over-the-shoulder shot, I think it failed because of the height difference the eye-lines didn't seem to match, in effect breaking the continuity of the opening.
The close-up at the end of the opening, didn't work as well as we hoped due to Tanisha's acting skills, but I still believe the music helped to communicate there was something dramatic and personal between Kenya and Tanisha.
