Past student work analysis
This film opening was from the thriller genre but uses lots of the same techniques that are used in the horror genre to film. We find this opening sequence impressive and useful because, from the start we are able to see that something bad is going to happen and through every shot they are able to build tension which makes the viewer more and more tense as the shots go on. This technique was also very effective because it makes up for the lack of dialogue in the opening sequence. At the end of the opening sequence they use a good tracking shot as the protagonist enters the market to place the bomb. Overall we think this opening sequence was good and used some good techniques that we believe we can use in our opening sequence, the main improvements that I would recommend would be to show more of the minor characters and how this bomb will effect them, by doing this they would create empathy for the sub characters which would help to build on the tension. Another fault with this opening sequence is that at times the camera was shaky which could be improved by filming with a tripod.
