Past student videos
I really like this opening sequence because there is not a single fault at all apart from the odd one. It seems like a real opening sequence. It might be boarderline trailer but I think it is mostly an opening sequence. There is good continuity, mise en scene and acting. You can tell it is a thriller because of the chilling flashbacks of the girl getting attacked in a dream. The sound and music is very appropriate. The titles go well with the genre but it looks a bit like the type of font you would get in an action opening sequence. However, overall it is a really good opening sequence especially for AS level.
I would give it 57/60 because it looks very proffessional.
I like this opening sequence too because you can tell straight away from the music in the beginning it is going to be a romantic comedy. The boy looks like he really likes the girl and the continuity is great. It has good mise en scene and acting, you can tell the guy is late for work because he is rushing, eating his breakfast, getting dressed, etc. The titles go with the genre of the film however they could look less action movie-ish.
I would give this 54/60

Feedback
We have got lots of feedback on the rough cut version of our opening sequence, mainly positive.
Is it obviously an opening sequence? Is it clear who the target audience is?
Many people have said that the genre of 'Luna' is quite clear as well as the target audience. However, some people have mentioned that it looks like a music video or trailer which is not what we hoped for.
Titles go with genre. Is the genre obvious? Are they clear? Are there enough and are they in the right order?
Feedback on the titles was overall positive saying that the titles were clear, relevant, in good order and went with the genre, and people saw that it was a romantic drama. Only criticisms were that the titles were too simple and there weren't a lot of them and one person did not understand how the type writer style font went with the romantic drama genre.
Think about the sound and the images are they appropriate? Do they go together?
Many people were impressed with the sound and said it was appropriate, the music is good and shows the genre. Some people said that the voice over in the beginning was good, effective and created a mood to the sequence however some said that they thought it was too quiet and the music drowned the voice over out. A lot of the feedback said that they didn't like the reverse sound in the sequence.
Camera - are the shots appropriate and relevant? Is there controlled use of camera attention to framing, variety of shot distance and angle? Close attention use of mise en scene?
We were said to have good use and variety of camera shots, clever camera techniques and they liked that when both characters in the sequence were alone the setting was dark but when they were together it was light which we didn't actually notice ourselves and we have very good mise en scene. Someone suggested that we could have included a high shot.
Editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer and making selextive and appropriate use of shot transitions and other effects.
Lots of the feedback was positive regarding the editing saying it was good and relevant and our opening had smooth transitions. However, a lot of people mentioned that they did not get the idea of the rewind part of our sequence, and said that because it blacked out before it rewinds it stopped the scene from flowing.
Total score and any other comments
Lowest score: 36
Highest score: 58
It has been said to be convincing that the couple in our opening sequence are truly in love due to their brilliant acting, cute, voice over is effective, confused about the link to the title needs more enigma codes, unsure about rewind and it has been cited as one of the favourites out of all the opening sequences.
