Final opening sequence

10 comments:

  1. I like the symbol of the candle at the beguinning and the creepy but gentle piano music in the background - creates alot of suspence and tension!
    I also like the speaking / monolgue added in the background to explain a bit of the story and give a better idea of whats going on
    the solarized effects are really good and create a very gloomy and creepy effect to the film!

    I also like how the different shots are put/blended together to create a clear storyline

  2. I like the use of music used, as i feel that this creates a really aery feel and works well to create tension. I also like the effect that the candle gives at the beginning, also helping to create a scary atmosphere. I think that the voiceover works well to tell the storyline and help the viewer to link together what's going on. I also like the effect of the negative imagery, this works well, adding to the tension of the music. I like the use of the loud gunshot at the end to finish of the story as this gives you an idea of what's happened without actually showing you.
    The only criticism i can give is that i feel the gap between each person talking is too long and so maybe could be closer together to help it flow better.
    However overall this is a nice piece, and the music and shots used have worked well together to create a scary atmosphere.

  3. The voice over really helps the viewer relate to what's going on. The effects adds to the horror theme and i particularly like the candle shot. There is a different variety of shots and this shows off your framing skills. The use of music builds the tension throughout the opening.

    one point i would make is that in the talking part the girl says i hope not when i think she is meant to say i hope so, like she is hoping to just be silly?

    great job :)

  4. I like the voiceover you created with the opening as it tells the story as its being shown which helped me understand what was going on.
    the music used makes it really eery. You've got good use of camera shots and angles. the negative effect around it makes it feel sort of supernatural as if it was spirits? the gun shots at the end really made me jump as it was unexpected.
    the only criticism i have is that i could tell the voiceover had been recorded and at some parts got cut off too quickly.
    other than that i found this a good opening and would definitely watch this if it were out :)

  5. I like the opening. I think the reoccurring shot of the candle was nice and you also made good use of the negative affect this made everything slightly more creepy the voiceover also worked well. The only criticism I had was that some of the voiceovers where cut short and also that the scream was cut out. I liked the sequence though.

  6. I really like the fonts used for the titles they work very well with the genre of this opening sequence.
    I also really like the music of the piano playing in the background it is very eerie and works very well throughout.
    i think the edit of the negativity makes it feel like a dream or like she is awake and everything isn't how it is supposed to be it makes us feel how the persons view we are in how they feel.
    i think the part where it looked like she was trying to scream worked really well how it went silent because it was like she couldn't and the gun shot was really unexpected

    the only criticism i have is that the voice over cut off a bit to quickly on some occasions

    it really flowed well and i enjoyed this opening sequence a lot.

  7. I like the effects that you put on the clips as it distorted the image which keep you on the edge of your seat.
    The voice over helped to clear things up that were confusing and helped build the plot of the story.
    The music was really eerie but i liked that you didn't have it on when the voice over was on because otherwise i think it would have been a distraction
    there is a good range of camera angles and shots :)

  8. I Love the use of the negative scening because to the viewers you become very hooked into what is about to happen. I Also Love the use of imagery for example the candles. I thought that rebecca was creative in the way she used her scipt and shots. i thought that had a good effect because your wandering whats about to happen next.

    One thing i thought rebecca could improve upon was the sounds of the shots. they sounded to be cut of really sharply and quickly

    But overall Well Done! :)

  9. I like the voice overs at the beginning, i think it creates tension. Also the girl whos talking is really convincing ;). I like the way the candle fades in and out of focus it looks very clever. The scream at the end really creates tension and scares the audience, it makes you want to continue and watch it. Overall i thought it was really good, only critism is some of the scenes that are in the dark are hard to see. :)

  10. The voice over worked really well and the talking was very convincing. You have used the video effects well specially with the whitish cirlce around the girl when she was in bed. The music worked really well and it was very creepy. Only critism is the fact the the scream was cut but im sure this was accidental. well done though
