Student Film Research

This is a student AS film that I found on YouTube which I think is a very good thriller opening. I looked at many different thriller openings and decided this one would be the best to analyse.
The strengths of this opening thriller is that it does not give too much away, it keeps me engaged and interested and I want to carry on watching it.I think this is partly due to the suspense and tensed atmosphere that has been created. Also the creepy and tensed music also makes the opening more effective and engaging as it is very suspense and keeps you wondering.
Also the lighting and location is very good, their whole film is viewable as it is not too dark and the video is also good quality.
Their opening is also very good due to the variety of camera shots and angles that they used which makes it look very realistic.
A weakness is their production logo and opening titles, their production logo is good and unique but to make it a bit more effective, they could have made it move, this is the same with their opening titles. Their opening titles has some effect but they do not really enter and exit dramatically or effectively. They just enter with a glow and exit.
