Teachers comments
1. 2 good analyses of film openings Insidious and Hot Fuzz. Clear and
confident use of technical language throughout. You could add what you
have learnt from these openings that you will use in your product. You
are missing 1 more film opening. Please add this. Woman In Black
analysis now added to the same clear standard as the rest. Hot Fuzz
analysis has been improved. Also thoughts on what you will take form the
openings added, well done.
2. Good research into the history of the genre, presented well using prezi.
You could add more images to this to make it more visual. You could
also add key directs, actors and awards for the genre. Notable directors
now added.
