Thriller opening of previous student

Infatuation
  1. The use of music is very suspenseful which is there to build up tension.
  2. Camera shots are used very effectively to make the audience want to watch more....The close up shot of gun is an good example!
  3. The only problem I found was letting the audience know who the killer was....I think there was too much detail on killer.

Changes

We decided to change our opening storyline as we felt our original was more like a short film than an opening. It gave too much away so we changed the idea to "Daddy's Little Girl" which we are now happy with. The storyline involves a dad that is obsessed with keeping his daughter young so that she's his little girl forever.

Previous Student Analysis (Lost Lines)

Positives-
1. Use of real pictures and videos give it a really good effect
2.Continuous high pitched music , adds to the suspense

Negatives-
1. Unclear message at times
2. The camera is slightly jumpy at times

Analysis Of Previous Student Work

Smile.

Positives:
1. The factual information about smiling at the beginning of the clip.
2. The narrative is different because the voiceover sounds 'creepy'

Negatives:
1. Sound levels are low which makes speech sometimes unclear.
2. The picture at the end of the clip is also unclear, which confuses the viewer.
