Analysis of past students work 2

The opening we watched was from group S1-21. The material used in the shots of the opening were highlighted clearly to symbolise power between the protagonist and antagonist. For example the girl trips and falls in the woods whilst the antagonist is in pursuit of her. A high angle is used to demonstrate that the protagonist has a weakness that is being exploited for the viewer. The theme of isolation was also highlighted in the opening. A shot of the girl sitting in the corridor alone showed her state at the moment. We are thus able to sympathise with her. 

Powerful editing is used in the form of changing the colours of the scene to create a sense of suspense and anxiety to the viewer as the audience does not know what is happening. It also shows the weak personality of the protagonist as she is falling apart. The shot transactions were short and abrupt and created a flash and showed mystery and a sense of urgency and emphasised that she was falling apart again. However, to improve the sound did not match the genre as it did not match the pace in which the narrative was moving.
