The Last Breath



- Mark criteria
This group held several shots steady.

This group did frame shots including/excluding elements as appropriate as we see one of the main characters at the very beginning so we know he's in the storyline. Also, when the lady is lying in the bath you see the knife next to her so it gives the audience clues and understanding.

This group used a variety of shots including long shots, close-ups, etc.

This group used materials appropriate to the task but we thought it was more horror based as we felt it gave a more scary feel than thrilling.

This group did the mise-en-scene well because we thought we saw the setting was shown very well through the different shots such as when we saw her open the door and walking around.
The costumes allowed us to tell that antagonist was going to be the baddie by his mask.
The lighting was well used as the lighting varied depending on what was happening and related to the action.

This group didn't use lots of editing but they stopped the music the same time the lights went out which adds impact to the event.

This group didn't use many effects such as fades which could have helped make the opening run more smoothly.

This group used lots of sound with images such as when she screams there is no music which allows the scream to be heard better and its the only noise you hear so the audience focus on it.
The main piece of music they use through out the opening matches with the overall theme they have.

The titles used could have been a bit more interesting in font to match the theme however we thought the white writing against the dark background contrasted well so it was easy to read.
