Looking at past students examples

Today we looked at past students projects. The best one we watched was called 'End of the line'. The reason this was so successful was that they used clever action shots, their location complemented their story well, and not too much was revealed in the first three minutes so it kept you really interested and wanting more. We also looked at others one of which included 'Taken'. This was not as successful as the plot was really rushed and within a minute the whole plot had been told, so there wasn’t really any suspense and they didn’t use a lot of different camera angles so their shots didn’t have a great effect. By watching previous students work we could establish what made some openings successful and some openings not.
