“I really liked this opening sequence as it set the tone of a thriller with the use of visual effetcs, unusal shots and soundtrack. I thought the opening tracking shot was really effective and clearly set the context of the genre.”
This supports our original intention to create an effective opening to a horror feature. This comment is also good in the sense that it praises the track and pan, which is the main aspect we were worried about because it is such a complex shot.
“the camera focussing on the fire is effective, i like the link between the church and fire, and the use of the non-digetic orchestral music fits in with the theme.”
The fire, we felt, was the strongest part of the sequence so it is not surprising that this was picked up on as the most effective shots. The comment about the music come somewhat as a relief, as there was a last minute change in music resulting in it being slightly rushed.
“I thought the effects of the fire dissovling the frames and titles was very effective and made a huge impact towards the sequence. The soundtrack linked very well with the theme of the church and helped create an eer y feel towards the seqeuence”
Once more, both the fire and the music are considered the most effective aspects of the sequence. This time the dissolve and colour keying of the fire was picked up on, this was the hardest part of the sequence to edit and it is good to have some recognition of this.
“I really liked the effects of the fire in this opening sequence and it created a tensed atomsphere for the audience the credtis were well put in the opening sequence without interrupting the opening sequence I liked how this media product dealed with the themes of religion”
This comment deals with similar features, with the added remark on how the sequence deals with themes of religion. This is good, as ultimately we are getting the message across to the viewers and they understand what the film is about.
