What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?Their film made good use of technical elements throughout. They used multiple close-up shots that captured facial expressions. I also liked the close-up shots of the fidgeting which gave a nervous and anxious feeling. Dutch shots showed a spiral outwards. These were cool and showed Angelina's state of mind.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
A specific element that I didn't like too much was the inserts. It show reality versus what the character was doing. The alternating scenes informed audiences of what was really happening. It's super creative but it could've been a little bit clearer. This was really the only technical element that I thought could use improvement.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
Their film kind of looked like an intro. The beginning part with the light was a good opener. Other than that, it felt like it already in the middle of something. Maybe some context could have helped. This film opening was still good and was interesting. It did make me want to see what happens next.
Was there anything that left you confused?
The only thing that was a little confusing was the cuts between what the audience sees and what the character saw. I still was able to understand what was happening.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
A suggestion I have could be to add more elements that make it seem like an opening. The film isn't finished so they might add them later on. I also think they could make some cuts clearer if they're meant for audiences.

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
The technical element that I liked was the zoom. While the friends spoke, it zoomed into their face to capture the emotion of them being left out. This technique added depth to the scene and allowed audiences to understand their struggle.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
I didn't dislike any film elements in particular. A suggestion would be to film the establishing shot of the school horizontally instead of vertical. It would help make the film look better.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
Their film felt like a movie opener. It started with a scene of the school before switching to a master shot of all the students. I am a little curious about what happens next. The reason for this was it a little chaotic and hard to follow.
Was there anything that left you confused?
What was confusing was what the guy whispered to the friends. Audiences could've been told what they said or hinted at so they could stay informed. Without it, they don't really know whats happening.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
Some suggestions I have would just be to make the opening horizontal and to inform the audience with some information. They could use an opening sequence as well to show the title.

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
I liked the upward tilt that showed the friend group in the beginning. It slowly transitioned into a tracking shot. This element showed audiences the location and characters which I felt was good for an intro. Another element I liked was the jump cuts. It made me feel like we were following behind them.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
A technical element I didn't like was the tracking shots. It felt like the camera moved constantly throughout the film. Another element was an establishing shot which could've been used in the beginning. These were the only two, the rest were good.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
Their film did look like an opening. They used elements to introduce characters into frame and keep audiences engaged. Their cliffhanger did make me wonder what would happen next. The ending too, was unexpected I didnt expect it to be sudden.
Was there anything that left you confused?
What made me confused was the establishing shot. I thought she was recording but the establishing shot had her in frame so she wasn't actually recording. This left me a bit confused. Other than that, nothing else really confused me.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
I'd suggest adding a title sequence in the beginning. They could add an establishing shot to show the setting as well as using it to display their title. These are the only suggestions I have that could improve their film.

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
Some elements I liked were their lighting and upward tilt. It helped give a mysterious mood of the man playing the piano. The tilt gave emphasis on the man and ended up revealing him at the end.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
There weren't really any elements that I did not like. They could've used some sound, music, or footsteps. The silence just felt a little bit awkward.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
I think their film looked like a movie opener. The intro in the beginning with the piano was slow and revealed the character. This led to the part where he walked to the car. What made me want to know what happened next was the intruder in the backseat of the car.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
The only thing I'd suggest they add is some sort of sound, a title, and title sequence. These would help complete their film. Some sound makes scenes less awkward and can add feeling or meaning.

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
One technical element that I liked was their use of a close-up. Having a close-up on the computer felt engaging and helped me see what they typed. Another was using over the shoulder shots. Using it while they looked in the mirror had a cool effect.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
One element that I didn't really like was the two person shot of them sitting at a table. It had no audio and felt a bit long. Other than this, I liked most of the technical elements they used.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
I don't think it felt like a movie opener. Even though the first scene introduced a setting and characters, it didn't really feel like a movie opener. They could've added an introduction or some sort of transition. I do wan't to know what happens next since I was left a little bit confused.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
One suggestion is to add an introduction and some more transitional elements. I think these would help enhance the feeling of their film and make it seem more like a film opening.
