What went well: the camera and all of the angles were very good. The different sort of camera movements such as the two shot or the mid shot were used effectively. There was dialogue which told us about more about the characters personality.. Mise en scene was used very well, apart from the location of the drug deal. Drugs deals often happen in run down houses or in an alley way. The titles which were used was used appropriately. They told the audience the main characters names., which is always nice to know when watching a film.

Even better if. Used perhaps more camera angles to show the intense moment when they are doing the deal. Also change the location in which the drug deal is being placed. This mean it could get changed to an alley way where it is dark or a run down house.

Luke AkersWhat went well: the opening scenes were interesting. We got told the film name. Mise en-scene was used appropriately However as the same as the first one i discussed the location of what happened did not suit what did happen. The camera angles which were used was correctly done. Using a long shot which shows what is going on at the moment in the scene shows us what exactly is going and where its going on to.

Even better if: If we knew if the film name at the beginning as a film name often tells the audience if the film is going to be any good. Also where the murder happened is something that they could improve. A murder often happens in a unseen location or when it is dark.

jamesWhat went well: this opening scene was one of best. We got introduced to the characters promptly. This happened in a range of different camera movements. Mise en-scene was used perfectly. We knew where the setting was and the lighting and other factors were great. The sound on the other hand was poor i will discuss why in the EBI section. When the two characters were fighting there was also a range of camera shots which was used to show the intense scenes. Theses camera shots were close ups and long shots.

Even better if: on the day filmed this it was raining this sound was also in there video. This made the audience perhaps not hear them correctly. Also the fighting went on for too long. It could of lost the audience interest.

Summary of how it will help my film improve.

• From these 3 opening scenes i have learnt to use a range camera movements as it creates tension. I also learnt and will take into consideration on how long certain scenes are in my opening 2 minutes. The setting is also important to what is happening in the opening scene. As i have learnt drug dealing or murder don't often happen in well known places or modern houses. So that's also something i will take into consideration. The day i film my scene i will have to make sure that its not raining or anything else that will interrupt my scene as the audience might not understand the dialogue that is happening.
