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 liked George's film opening. The film contains material appropriate to it's audience. The titles were conventional but a little inconsistent in their timing. The music was appropriate and worked well in setting the tone of the film. The voiceover was a nice idea but seemed odd as it was too short. The camera work was very good on the whole with some nice shot selections. I didn't like the flashback sections which weren't set up particularly well (thrown in, in ranfdom places). I liked the use of slo-mo for the wine glass and the shot at about 1.50 where your villain walks through the camera was nicely done. The meaning was very apparent through your choices of what to show. Two povs from your abuser was perhaps an odd choice.
