Thriller Feedback

Positive aspects:
- variety of camera shots and angles
- the music towards the end was very good and mirrored the intensity of the moment
- the heavy drumming makes the simple and innocent scene seem tense - it contrasts well
- brilliant soundtrack, enjoyed change in beat when shot changes
- like the quick fast cuts throughout the opening sequence 
- like where the beat speeds up to what he sees happening in the future/newspaper
- the use of props is effective, good visual to tell the viewers what happened
- fast slideshow of pictures worked well with music
- close up on the eyes is used well to show a strong, powerful emotion later contrasted with a weak, worried emotion
- use of non diegetic sound is good and keeps the piece flowing until it's interrupted by the diegetic sound of the toast which draws attention to the emotion he's feeling
- close up of words in paper, characters eyes = effective
- music was good throughout and close ups were good
- build up of crash and newspaper shots - way it quickly changes is effective
- effect of shots of newspaper
- different camera angles, 360 degree, music throughout made opening really fluent


Areas of improvement:
- music is uneven, some shots go on for too long
- the newspaper article he reads is different to the images, editing/directing needs to improve
- pace could do with being quickerover the breakfast scene, name at the end makes it look like a trailer
- soundtrack could be a bit quieter
- music is repetitive
- feet and hand images look amateur, use better blood/sfx silicone
- soundtrack was quite repetitive, use more variety of sound loops
- I would change the background track, got annoying
- put effects on the titles
- use emphasis on the diegetc sounds and make them louder than backing track to give sense of normality
- plot was not understood, make it clearer
- I don't really like the backing music as it doesn't fit with the theme of the thriller
- maybe some more dramatic sound as well as the ones used would have created more tension
