1) What do you think about the camera work? – Shots, angles etc.
I think the camerawork is really good; it gives off a professional feel. I’ve seen different media works, but these shots are of a different standard; I really like how it flows. Also the angles add to the effect, I really like it when the nightmare bit started, the camera was sort of moving in a sort of circular motion, that bit was especially very good.
2) What do you think about the music/soundtrack? - Background music, sound effects etc.
The background music and sound effects were very good; it creates a good dramatic atmosphere. Everything was very clear for me to understand, the dialogue wasn’t too loud or too quiet, also the echo effects in parts are really cool, I wasn’t really expecting it, I think it went very well with the whole sequence.
3) What is your opinion on the storyline opening so far?
I think it was easy to understand and not too exaggerated. It was a good storyline overall. I enjoyed watching it.
4) What do you think about the acting skills?
The acting was realistic for most parts, but the boy’s acting seemed unnatural in a few places, like for example, after he had switched the T.V off. But in his emotional part, I really like his acting, it was very good. I liked the mum and dad’s acting on the whole, it seemed very natural.
5) Overall, what are your views based on the appeal and characteristics of a general thriller, and whether our thriller meets these requirements?
I think the whole sequence was very good. I think this can be classed as a really good thriller, but there are little slip-ups here and there, for example, the blood on the boy’s wrists did seem a little blatantly fake, and u could tell it wasn’t real. But I think, those things can be overlooked, because I liked it.
