Goodfella's Opening Sequence
The opening of 'Goodfella's' starts off with some credits and each credit enters as a wipe to the sound of a car passing. Then a piece of text enters saying, 'This film is based on a true story,' this definitely engages the audience as because it is based on a true story it makes people relate to the film more. The car sounds then become the noise of a car driving along a road. There is a good use of camera movement here as it shows different angles of the car. The lighting here is very dark and the audience is still not introduced to any characters, creating uncertainty. There is then a black out and a piece of text appears as a fade in, saying, "New York, 1970" this informs the audience of the place and time setting. The next footage seen is a static shot of three men in a car which are all dressed smartly, creating them to look wealthy.

Filming Three
On the 14th we wanted to do our final filming session. To do this we had to be very organised and prepared. The last piece of footage we needed included the car scene which meant we needed our male friend to definitely turn up this time. We made sure at the start of the day that he could come and he said he would definitely be able to make it. The group all turned up at the location being Epping Forest to film. We we had all the equipment, props and costume to make our last filming session was a success.
Filming Two
On the 11th of February we decided to film again to film at the location of my house. This would be for the second half of our opening. All of the group was very well organised and focused on what we was supposed to be doing. We set up the scene making sure everything was ready to be filmed. everything we very well however we did have a few issues with the lighting and the layout of my house. We could not seem to get the lighting right for the scene especially as we wanted a more obvious bright light on one character. we did finally manage to do this by using a torch but it was difficult. The other issue being the layout of my house was because we all had a certain image in our head to how we wanted the scene to look and we could not rearrange the furniture to suit the angles we wanted to shoot. We did as a group solve the issue and overall it turned out to be a great filming session.
Filming one
On the 7th of February we started to film our opening scene for our film. A scene within our opening includes a car so we asked a male friend who can drive to help us with this scene. The group arrived at the location being up by Epping forest college and waited for our friend to turn up with his car however he wasn't able to make it. This was disapointing although he did manage to film some sections a few times showing different angles of the shot.
Our first filming was quite succesfull as we was very organised and was equipped with everything we needed to film however it was unfortunate that we could not film the car section.
