Analysis of Previous Students Work

I chose to analyse Dystopia, the opening itself was different to many others. It did not contain any credits to the production companies in the beginning but started of with a shot, going straight into the action. This already told me that it would be a narrative opening which tells a story.

The camera angles in this opening is very good. I like how you have the close up of the foot, then a point a view shot. With the camera angles they chose not to reveal their character straight away, which I really like as it adds more suspense to it. Another thing that kept me intrigued to their opening was that they would change the lighting to a negative effect every so often

The sound in the opening was also good, it had a small beat to it, which slowly built to the main action it had. It also have gushes of wind which also helps build suspense. They had also emphasized the sound of the leaves when the person walks over it.

A few things I didn't like about the opening was the credits, it looked a bit amateur as they had written it on paper, I also didn't like the text on screen as you could not clearly read it.

The group had put the title of the film right at the end, there is nothing wrong with putting it there but they could have put it at the beginning as their opening is an narrative opening. However the effect for the title i really liked. It flashed on the screen a few times but in different places.
