we spent the lesson analysing examples of other students thriller opening; by observation and contrustructive criticism i believe it made it far more apparent the available technical devices we could use in order to effectively construct a thrilling opening.

we analysed somewhat 8 clips, each having their own strengths and weaknesses, however, it became very evident that acting played no part in the mark scheme, where as technical devices such as mise-en-scene especially camera work was where marks were more emphasised.

weaknesses tend to be students lack of effort that becomes very presented and obvious when we viewed them. It was taught that even parts that may be construde as minor play a very vital role in the making of any film i.e. credit fonts.

when making my own thriller opening, by keeping in mind these simple vital areas and reviewing my own opinions and criticisms on the past openings, i believe i could more confidently construct a successful, bizarre opening.
