4. What in your view are the sequences
main strengths?
The acting and script are very good, along with the costumes and props. The effects
are also well done.
It is clear and understandable, with good acting, good mise-en-scene, and it helps you
understand what the film will be about.
The editing of switching between scenes creates a tense atmosphere. The mise-en-
scene was good because we could establish what it was about.
The sequences main strengths include its appropriate use of lighting, clear
storyline, good use of terminology, well rehearsed lines and editing effects.

5. How do you think the sequence could
be improved?
They need to finish adding static to cause all the glitches. The character switch of the
news report confuses us as we see no reason for it. They also need to add a
background to the green screen.
The background to the news report, titles and more footage need to be added to
make it long enough to be a successful opening sequence.
The opening sequence needs a sound track and titles to improve.
The group need to improve editing on the section where the actor is shaking his
head, along with increasing the amount of footage to improve. They should also edit
the scenes with the blood as it is it so diluted it looks like tinted water.
