Marking previous work

I marked the following work out of ten based on their Material appropriate to the target audience, whether or not the title were conventional/appropriate, sound/images and technical editing, camera work/framing/mise en scene, editing and overall feel of the title sequence to give me an overall score out of 60.

Captive:



I felt that captive was a very good title sequence, I felt that the display of the titles were very appropriate as the titles flickered when coming onto to screen, which creates a sense of unease, which is usually what is created in the opening to (what I am assuming to be a) thriller film. This is effective as it might symbolise the flickering of a light for example in a rundown place, which is where a lot of thriller films are set. I also felt that the use of the camera was very effective. This opening displayed a wide range of different shot types, showing different angles shots, and a variety of ranges, ranging from extreme close ups to extreme long shots. The framing was also very good in this opening as the rule of 3rds was consistently being used and was always showing the character from different places, giving the connotations that he is being watched and is definitely in danger. I also felt the editing in this opening was very good having shots jump constantly between each other, and create a sense of disorientation. The sound I felt could have been improved, as I felt the music became too dramatic at the end for what little was going on, therefore marked it down for that. I also marked it down for the fact that I didn’t feel like there was enough going on in the scene. Overall I scored this piece of work 55/60 and felt that this was a very good piece of work, and very good opening title sequence.
