Previous student's film opening analysis

Victoria



The music is very innocent but because of the video and past experiences you instantly know that the film is going to be about something that looks sweet on the outside but isn't anywhere near sweet on the inside. It reminds me of thriller movies that have a deserted merry go round that is filmed in an unstable way which lets you know that something is not right.

I like the way they had things overlapping, especially at 0:32 where they put in a twirling ballerina toy. At 0:47 they have a close up of the girls eyes which look dark, this shows that although she's doing ballet which is a very gracious style of dance she is very dark on the inside.

I think the props such as the red lipstick and all of the dolls played a big part in the film opening.

Overall I think it was a very good opening to a film in a lot of ways and if it was part of a real film it would make me want to continue watching.
