Film Opening- Marking

Level 2 24–35 marks
There is evidence of a basic level of ability in the creative use of some of the following technical skills:
• Producing material appropriate for the target audience and task;
• using titles appropriately according to institutional conventions;
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set;
• shooting material appropriate to the task set;, including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot distance and close attention to mise-en-scene;
• using editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer and making selective and appropriate use of shot transitions and other effects.

I'm afraid this is not great.
The material is appropriate but unclear in places
The titles are squashed into an early section just after the narrative intro.There is an attempt at about 1.09 to edit the music with the cut to the doll but this is not done particularly well
The camera is never controlled. I appreciate that you were going for the found footage look but it is wobbly to the point of unclear in places. There is a difference between shaky and hand held and unfortunately you have too much of the former

The sound is all over the place- the jarring silence after the production titles, the sudden jump in volume at around 1.15....

There is some editing which gives the audience a sense of meaning but it is basic
