Two minute opening to a Film

Thriller genre called 'The Statement'

My first personal reaction for my product

When I first played back my product to myself I was immediately aware of how loud my non-diegetic sound was. This was striking and I did not like it however I was pleased that I took away the non-diegetic sound when I included diegetic sound and speech, this prevented it becoming more of a music video than a thriller film and I was happy with this.

My actual filming I was happy with as I believe my shots were steady and focused throughout. I was unhappy with my mise-en-scene in the interview room as it was too bright and clear for the atmosphere I wanted to create. If I could re-do this, I would of made the room dimmer and seem more sincere.

My mise-en-scene when Katie walks down the stairs out of the police station worked well as I wanted the light behind her so she appeared to be a silhouette until she became close enough to the camera to be seen.

The match-on-action in my piece worked fantasically and my favourite section was with Katie entering her cousin's car. This flowed brilliantly and was a clear example of continuous editing.

Overall I am quite impressed with my final piece although there are some downfalls but I have addressed them and will not carry on these mistakes onto A2
