Assessment Critera

I watched 3 film opening's of student film and looked at how they could be developed into trailers.
Blink Murder - I've assessed this opening as a Level 3 as I feel they haven't considered the framing of some of their shots.
Caught in the Web - I've assesed this opening as boardering on Level 3/4 as they have been very creative with their camera shots, and really considered mise-en-scene, encluding costume, location and props.
Double Edge - I think the opening would have just fallen into a Level 4, they have been really creative with some of the shot types and compesition of their shots. The second half is alot better than the first, the second half begins to reflect an independant film.

The films could be turned into trailers by:
Blink Murder - By cutting it when the titles come up, and loseing the narrative scene.
Caught in the Web - Cut the clip at 33 seconds and put some titles on.
Double Edge - Open the trailer with the video tape going into the VCR, and showing the hostage video.
