Teachers comments
1. 3 good analyses of film openings Silence of the lambs, Psycho and Hot
Fuzz. Good use of technical language throughout. You could add what
you have learnt from these openings that you will take forward into your
own piece. Thoughts now added to what you have learnt from the film
openings.
2. A good background of the genre presented well using powerpoint. You
could add more about the history of the genre and how it has evolved
over the years. More detail now added.
3. Good research on target audience. Good use of NRS scale and avatar
creator to show stereotypical audience member.
4. Excellent script, builds tension well. However, it needs some formatting
tweaks, take out the synopsis at the start. Do you also mean flash
forward? Not backwards?
5. Clear evidence of drafting of ideas throughout.
6. An excellent set of storyboards, well done. Be careful not to confuse
establishing shot with long/wide shot.

11.Prop choices explained basically, you could add reasons for choices and
images
