I gave this production a 2 for the abilty to hold a steady camera shot where appropriate because although the shakey, unsteadyness of the camera was intentional and intended to create instablity and tension there were no steady camera shots. This lacked the necessary evidence needed for a higher mark to show the ability of holding a shot steady.

I gave this production a 4 for framing a shot because there were no inapproriate props in the background and showed consistant abilty to include and exclude elements where appropriate.

I gave this production a 4 for Mise-en-scene because all aspects of the production were considered and appropriate including lighting, sound, figure, object, object positioning, movement of actors, props and casting.

I gave this production a 2 for Meaning Is Apparent because the meaning was not clear and there was no clear plot or storyline. There was not much way of telling what the thriller would have been about by watching this opening.

I gave this production a 3 for varied shot transition becasue although there were some transition, there was a limited variation.

I gave this production a 4 for sound with images and editing because the sound was clearly imported to play in time with the image. The soundrtrack was used to create an eerie tension in conjunction with the flickering effects.

I gave this production a 4 for clearly being a film opening because the viewer is left with unresolved questions.
