Analysing Previous Student's Work

In class we looked at other students work from previous years groups. We were looking at them to get any ideas for our projects and to see what we would do differently by seeing what we liked or what we didn't like from them.

I think this one was done well and was better than some of the others we watched. I like how the credits appear each time the blood is dripping through the water. It looked good and effective but after a while started to get boring, as did the music. It was very repetitive until the end when it changed slightly but was still highly repetitive. The opening had a good story plot and was easy to follow and you could clearly tell it was opening credits because they led to something and they weren't just random. They opened up to the story well which is what they should do.
I think the part where the male character is strangling the female character looked a little bit too fake because during it the female character gives a laughing smile which ruined the whole effect. They built up to the climax of the opening really well. I think having the scene go black and white each time it was in the past was really good and helped to build the tension. As for the camera angles used they are really basic with simple mid shots for most of the scenes. Not much really happened with the angles. I think they could of experimented more.
