The acting itself looked unnatural, particularly when the girl walked away from the door after locking it - seemed very robotic. Bit confused about where the story will go from here considering the girl's dead, gives a lot of the plot away and isn't very subtle.
Music was fine and good choice of camera shots were used, particularly at the end.

Crime convention
Sub genre horror thriller
Clean cuts affects added colour wise and different movements were used at the end
Camera work was mostly the same
the music was good the a soundtrack not a sound beat fitted with the movement
they broke the 180 degree rule when the girl was walking up the stairs

Psycho

Gives too much of the story away so there was no fear of the unknown.
Horror thriller.
A crime at the core of the narrative.
Extraordinary events happening in ordinary situations.
Music was good however could have built more suspense.

We thought that it was a good opening sequence, but it gave too much of the plot away. We also like the soundtrack because of the tension it gives to the film. It was good when the ''baddie'' was in the background as the victim walked past.

This is our roughcut

the music lasts a bit longer than the video to cater for when we add in credits

The only prop we need was a mask that the villian is going to wear. a member of our group has this prop already so it doesn't need to be purchased.

we have practiced panning, we tried panning on the tripod and panning holding the camera by hand, we feel that both have a good effect but we think we will use the tripod. We also have a scene were the camera follows over the shoulder of the villian we will be doing this by holding the camera in our hands.

Are initial idea came from simple discussion, we discussed as a group are individual ideas and we all came up with are idea, we all added ideas to the opening sequence we have decided to do.
