Bad angle use. They have tried to do this scene using POV however it failed because it was doing from over the shoulder instead as you could see in the second picture.

The tone of the voice over doesn’t match the clip. This causes problems for the audience to figure what genre it is.

The clip was to short for an open sequence. Plot was to cliché including a stalker.

Gelsomina De Lucia – Bad Example.

There is jumpy editing cuttings throughout. For example, between the time of 00:42-: 0045. This creates a sense that the camera is shaking. They could have stops filming at 00:42 then proceed that whole sections as one giving the scene a sense of continuity.

Bad Acting throughout the clip. The female kept on looking at the camera and smiling which made the clip lose its sense of tension which the music was giving.

There was no mention of credits at all throughout the clip. There was only the production company and the title of the opening sequence which I felt that a different font could have been used. It seems too western for a thriller.

Gone.

In this scene again the camera was shaky when it didn’t need to be. There was no panning to show the characters walking which is what they should improve on. Most angles used (mid-shot) was used constantly and lacked variation. Also, the characters are portrayed to be smoking which for their age is illegal and didn’t think there was any purpose of it in the plot.

In this first scene it was evident that no tripod had been used when it should have. As a consequence the whole scene was shaky. Also their facial expressions were not taken seriously as their was laughing instead of crying. To make this better there should be more CAM SAMC as it did lack in this and I think they should of used a special effect to fit the mis-en-scene of the graveyard.

Title was very cliché. There did not seem to be much thought into the title. Also the non diegetic score music used was not creative and took most of the focus and did not fit the theme of the suicidal storyline.

Good Example• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCqLmKpreTU&safe=active• ‘ROSE’

Good use of Foley to make the sound more realistic for the audience as the character shaves.

In this part a cutaway is used to see what both characters are doing in the same time.

This scene has a variety of angle used which is added with a close for the audience to see a specific detail of the mise-en-scene including the make up and costumes.

A Schools Nightmare.

The cutaway throughout the clip (shown in the first two screen shots) to the children to the car created a sense of tension and let the audience opened minded to their own ideas. This carried on right until the very end as the there are many theories as to what can happen next.

The score non diegetic music created a sense of anticipation through the clip which went nicely with the genre of the clip which is inevitably horror.

The use of effect in making the boy disappear added to that layer of fear which as been running throughout the clip. It fitted in within the horror genre and there was an enigma which was created.

The close up on the screenshot is shown very clearly and use of effects invites audiences in. The mis-en-scene is effective and the black emphasises seriousness which is further highlighted through their facial expressions. The shallow focus used in this frame concentrates on the character with the predominant aggressive expression.

The POV shown indicates the storyline and with the use mis-en-scene establishes the age, gender and regional identity of the characters. There was no shaking of the camera unless when it was used for purpose.

The title was not complex and fitted the genre. The use of effects used to create the title was impressive. The score music used throughout was fast pace had a massive impact on the action genre. The only improvement I would suggest is the acting could be improved on as there was delayed acting and the use of masks which is an over used convention.
