1) What do you think about the camerawork? – Shots, angles etc.
There are different types of shots I can see, for example when you keep cutting from different perspectives, I think it’s done very well. Especially when the little boy is looking out the window, it’s flows continually.
2) What do you think about the music/soundtrack? - Background music, sound effects etc.
I really like the soundtrack; it gives a sort of adrenaline rush, it sets the atmosphere very nicely, and goes very well with the storyline. The music used during the nightmare scene was very good, it portrayed his feelings very well, and we as the audience could almost feel his struggle and pain.
3) What is your opinion on the storyline opening so far?
It seems like the whole film could be a very interesting story, as the beginning in my view, set a very firm foundation of thriller, and the way the sequence ended was like a cliff-hanger, very impactful. Somehow, the clip reminds me of A Nightmare on Elm Street, I think you did get your inspiration from there; also Inception comes to mind too. It would be fascinating to find out if this storyline will be similar or of a unique type, but I have to say the nightmare scene was very well thought out, as I enjoyed watching that part.
4) What do you think about the acting skills?
I think the little boy’s acting was extremely good, I couldn’t help but watch over my favourite part which was the nightmare scene; I could feel his emotion in that part. He was very good. The parents also acted very naturally and came off as any other ordinary parents, everything wasn’t over-performed. It was very comfortable to watch.
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 this can be seen as a thriller, if understood well I feel this film will be an extremely interesting to watch, especially by those who are interested in action and adventure which is what this seems to be. All the elements included in this sequence are very complementing to the genre.
