  1. Hi Hannah your video is fabulous!
    I love the effects you have used to make it more eery and spooky for the viewer. I understood the story you were trying to portray and it really shows you have worked hard with it.
    The setting you used went very well and the music you chose to put with it fitted perfectly.

  2. This is a good opening sequence, the music goes well with the picture and it is a tense piece of film. The effects that have been used have worked well with the story your trying to tell. The acting is important in this film because they are the ones that make the sequence flow and are keeping the audience watching as well as the good effects and sounds used.

    The angle shots and the places you place the camera have been thought about and work well.

    There is not much to be improved on just to work on changing and having different affects.

  3. The phone ringing throughout and after showing the phone saying block help create a tense atmosphere. The use of the different camera angles and shots also assist this really well. The choice of music also helps create the scary tense atmosphere and keeps you on edge throughout.

  4. I think the camera angles and effects used have proven to be very effective in your opening scene, they give an eery effect. The sounds and music used in the film also add great effect to the film, the setting of the film also worked well. My favorite part was at 0:53 when it goes back to two weeks earlier, the camera angles from then on were really good. Over all this film was really well shot, and edited in a good way. There isn't really any way I would improve on it, although for me the beggining wasn't too clear but then again that gives it effect, as it leaves the audience wondering whats going on so they want to watch on and find out.

  5. This video is very tense, and it builds up a lot of emotion. The music gives a good eery affect to the video, and makes the audience want to watch on. This video was obviously very well thought of, and a lot of work has gone into it. Well done

  6. You have used a very good variety of camera angles and effects. All of the effects you have used seem appropriate and work well adding to the atmosphere. The story line is made clear throughout. I love the beginning scenes of the mobile phone and the music you have chosen is perfect.
    As the effects worked so well I think your opening sequence would be improved if you had added a few more different effects.

  7. Hello Hannah,
    I really like the effects you have used throughout your opening sequence it adds emphasis and creates more tension; also the font style used works well with the genre of the film. The story line is really clear; you can see that you have planned the film well so there’s not much to improve.
