Group 64 - The opening credits looked more like ending credits, it would have been better if they had been put over the the video, it would have made them more interesting. Effects were good, we liked the cross dissolve and fades used. A variety of camera angles were used such as the close up, long shots with panning and zooming, although the shots weren't very steady probably because they were using handheld. The music was good but the changes between the pieces of music delayed, there was no music at the very start. It wasn't very clear of what the narrative is at the beginning but we got more of an idea of what it was about towards the end when the three characters were together, it was perhaps a action or gangster film. There wasn't much thought to the mise-en-scene in this sequence, we thought that they could have had used some props or costumes to make it more interesting.

Group 63:
There was quite a lot of hand held shots and not really much variety of camera shots through out the two minutes. The opening sequence does not really give you any indication of what the film is going to be about and it does not really look like a children's film from what you see in the two minutes.
The cross dissolve and fade that was used was good because it shows a variety of effects. the music that was used did not really fit the film but it was made well. We liked the camera angle in the corridor from a birds eye view walking. There was not costumes used which could make it a bit boring and also you could of used a few more props. 6

Did not give much indication of what the story was about.
Sound didn't fit the credits at the start
Shot from roof gave a good idea of where the film is set
wide variety of shots
Not sure it was right for a children's film.
