Student film openings

Although I liked the different and creative ways in which this film opening displays the film titles and credits, I believe the close up shots (for instance, the shot where the music credit is shown on the laptop screen) should have been clearer - this could have been done by them checking that the camera was in focus while filming, and then checking the footage while editing.
As a whole, the opening has a clear narrative of the girl getting ready, however, it is a fairly cliche and overused way of starting a film. Additionally, the genre is not entirely clear, as nothing really happens, and the clip at the end throws it off slightly. I think it could have had a clearer genre if the clip at the end with the voice over was not included.


I thought the plot of this film opening was interesting and original, and followed a clear narrative. There was a wide range of shots used, and although the camera remained steady and in focus, I think the editing could have been done better. For example, some of the transitions from scene to scene were slow and quite jarred, and it made the whole opening feel almost clunky.
Additionally, the sound quality was fairly poor and too loud at some points.
However, I liked the way the titles were displayed on screen, and felt the blood splatter imagery fit the genre very well.
Out of all the film openings, I think this one was the highest quality, with the best plot and clearest narrative. The HD camera and sound gives it an extremely professional feel, as does the detailed set design.
Additionally, the props, setting and radio recording of Winston Churchill show the time that this is set in, and make it even more authentic.
Although I think more varying camera angles could have been used, this was overall a brilliant film opening and would get an extremely high mark.
