Film Opening- Marking

Level 3 36–47 marks There is evidence of proficiency in the creative use of many of the following technical skills:
• Producing material appropriate for the target audience and task;
• using titles appropriately according to institutional conventions;
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set;
• shooting material appropriate to the task set;, including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot distance and close attention to mise-en-scene;
• using editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer and making selective and appropriate use of shot transitions and other effects

I like this Jamie!

The material is appropriate for a crime drama/thriller. Shame about the sunny day but that's difficult to plan for!
The titles are conventional but your choice of font has got a bit lost on the mottled background of the grass. I like the way the title comes up as the music kicks in.
The sound is appropriate and there are several occasions where you have timed the stresses in the music nicely with an edit or the credits. 
You have a pretty steady hand but why did you not use a tripod for some of those shots?! I think the choice of shots is good on the whole and it helps communicate the ideas to the audience (low angle/high angle etc). I was a little curious anout the shot of the shoes and the final shot was a strange one to end on. I liked the juxtaposition of the helter-skelter.
