Really nice cuts but maybe use more varied transitions like fades. The pace of the cuts is very nice and the best transition is at 1:56 as it is really smooth.
Sound/music:
Good use of background music, it was constant and reflected the theme of hypnosis and it was kept constant. The heart beat like sounds almost increase or create a sense of tension or unease and their was an effective voice over. The diegetic shuffling sounds of leaves and people talking were ambient.
Camera work:
There was an un-rendered transition but there were different zooms and distances. The camera was a little shaky at times and there was no variety between shot types. It was too close up so vary it and add some with more distance. There were no establishing shots and when being shown the clock it could be zoomed in better and more central.
Mise en scene:
Use of props were good, the chicken and the clock helped the audience relate to the thriller. After chicken is supposedly shot, feathers scattered create a good effect, though it seems obvious that someone is throwing feathers into the shots.
Titles:
Use of a background on title could be used, add in credits and make titles more interesting, for example add in movement.
Thriller conventions:
Eery music adds to the feel of the opening sequence. Dark location and the voice over adds tension. A lot of close ups but could be more fast paced, we lost the will to watch.
