Marking other students work

'Missing' - Level 3.

Is the material appropriate to the target audience?

8/10, uncomfortable footage for an uncomfortable horror sequence.

Are the titles conventional/appropriate?
6/10 dull and unclear, not overly visible to the eye, slightly half-hearted.

Sound, images and technical editing.
10/10 Excellent use music stings and pleonastic sounds.

Camera work, framing, variation of shots and mise en scene.
7/10 shaky at times, but a nice use of quadratics and relatively in frame.

Editing for meaningful effect, transitions and effects.
7/10 good continuity editing and match on action, nice dark tonality obviously finished in post-production.

Overall feel.
7/10, felt too much like a short film/trailer with use of flashbacks and irrelevant backstory squeezed into two minute sequence, just create strong enigma.

'Hemlock'- Level 4

Is the material appropriate to the target audience?

10/10, very tense and endearing to watch.

Are the titles conventional/appropriate?
10/10 beautiful font and effective use of typography. Credits are clear and soft to look at, adding to the atmosphere

Sound, images and technical editing.
10/10 Excellent use of classical music score and subtle yet effective editing.

Camera work, framing, variation of shots and mise en scene.
9/10 perfectly still, excellent use of quadratics. However, only relatively in frame at times.

Editing for meaningful effect, transitions and effects.
10/10 good continuity editing and match on action, nice blue tonality obviously finished in post-production. Subtle transitions are very effective.

Overall feel.
10/10, very atmospheric and effective film opening. Cinematography is aesthetically pleasing and its content is intensely enigmatic. Credits are placed effectively.

'The Bigger Picture' - Level 3

Is the material appropriate to the target audience?

8/10, teenage lifestyle iconography to promote relations to young people, its target audience.

Are the titles conventional/appropriate?
6/10 dull and unclear, not overly visible to the eye.

Sound, images and technical editing.
7/10 effective music soundtrack, pleonastic sounds such as the mouse clicking were edited in poorly. The clips were not muted before music was added in, meaning muffling of clothes and wind gusts are still audible.

Camera work, framing, variation of shots and mise en scene.
9/10 almost all completely shot on a tripod. Top of the characters head is cut off at times but otherwise well shot with a variety of angles and close ups.

Editing for meaningful effect, transitions and effects.
5/10 tacky edits, transitions and filters. Alas, their evaluation makes a compelling argument in defence of each ones usage.

Overall feel.
7/10, over usage of flashbacks and effects gave it a 'short film' vibe.
