First year suspense sequence

 You can find the general guidelines for the suspense sequence activity by clicking here.

Please remember that the rules and timings are a little different this year, but the minimum shot requirements are identical. 

Remember, go crazy with extreme closeups! They're an effective way of positioning your target audience for maximum impact!

Googling 'extreme close up' demonstrates the ubiquity of eyes as a common and effective theme in a variety of media. Why? Because eyes resonate with audiences in a variety of ways, from quickly encoding themes of terror and misery, so effectively showing warmth and emotion. Make sure you try this effective shot out in your own film!
