Coursework feedback


Research and Planning - 8
The research and planning is partially incomplete, and does not reflect many elements of planning that I would expect for this task. There is a proficient level of research into similar products, film genre conventions and representation. However there is limited and confused work on identifying potential target audiences. This work feels unfinished and is not applied to the film opening. I would have liked to see some work on demographics to explore the potential audience for this film. There is little work on organising the film itself, no mind maps, storyboard, filming schedule etc. Overall this feels like an unfinished blog. 
Main Task – 37
The titles follow the conventions of film openings, this is especially reminiscent of Se7en. The style of font and the red and white is especially effective. There is a good use of layers within the film opening, and some variety in shot types and camera movement. Close attention has been paid to framing. There is also a careful and close attention paid to props and a controlled use of the camera. However the film opening is limited and there is no sense of setting up the film with any narrative or layering of sound. This would have benefitted from a voice over, and the introduction of a character.
