Introducing the main characters is a main part of the movie and if its not done right then it effects the movie and what people think of the movie. When the movie starts playing the characters have to be specifically introduced into the movie so that it all merges together and works with the titles and sounds.
Kiera and Ellie were first introduced right at the start of the opening 2 minutes as they are the main characters and needed to be in the start as they are in the whole 2 minutes. Introducing them was easily done and when the long angle shot came up on the screen so did their names at the same time so that you know what the character looks like and what their names are so there isn't any confusion and the audience don't get bored as they don't know the names of the characters.
Emma was introduced not long after Ellie and Kiera were. Emma played a young girl that went missing in the middle of the night during the Christmas holidays / dead body which was laying on the floor. As the close up of Emma comes up on the screen the title of her name comes up along side her so that we know her name also and this is effective as everyone would now know the characters names.
Jai first got introduced after the title of the film came up and he was introduced as the antagonist as he was the one that killed Emma and then when Ellie and I realized he was there in the bushes he ran after us and that was also a very dramatic scene. Following on from that he then caught and killed Ellie which could cause some hate from the audience as he killed one of the main characters which would effect the rest of the movie.
The rest of the crew - Annaleigh Mann, Caitlin Mann, Anna Phillips, Baily Whiting and Shannon Harrell were involved in the opening 2 minutes but weren't involved in the filming as we had all the characters we needed for the movie and we didn't want there to be too many main characters as it would be too crowded so they all helped with the camera angles and filming.
