My group decided that it would be a good idea to test out how long it would take for our suicide tape section. This would allow for us to have an understanding of how much of the 2 minutes the tape will take up - leaving us a rough figure of how much time we will have to work with for the rest of the opening.
In these tester films, we are purely looking for the time and the size of the cards - we are not looking at the mise-en-scene of the shot.
This is our first trial and straight away, I feel as though the cards are too small and they are being moved along too quickly. I don't think that people would be able to see the cards and be able to read them in the time given.
For our second attempt, we decided to change the lighting of the scene, just to make it aesthetically look slightly similar to how we envisage the final shot. Again, after trying the small cards, it has become 100% clear that we need to make the cards bigger and maybe even prolong them by putting less writing on each card.
In this test, we have made the cards a lot bigger and spaced the writing out more. Immediately, just by looking at the length of the videos, you can see that this one is a lot longer than the others.
From this video we can definitely confirm that we will be using large cards and having less writing on each - this makes the whole sequence seem more eerie and adds an element of suspense and sadness to the piece.
