Mask.
I enjoyed watching the opening sequence for the 'Mask'. Over all, marking this film opening I would have given them a high level 3 or level 4 if I were the examiner. This film opening had a very interesting and original story line; it wasn't the typical 'horror' film that I found a lot of students had made when I was watching the films. The story line left many enigma codes it makes the audience want to keep watching. It raises questions such as: Who Is chasing him? What will happen next? Did he get shot? What was the item he was holding? Another positive element of the titles sequence was the simplicity of them. They were writing in a white, bold font which was easy to read and they were showed in all different played on the screen depending on the scene which made it less boring, for example when the character gets a text at the beginning of the film, the title appears on the phone as if it was also a text which I thought was clever. However, on the other hand, each individual title was shown on the screen for a very short amount of time which made it difficult to understand each job role regarding the production and direction of the film. Another aspect of the film that I felt could have been improved was the foley. When the characters in the film were running and walking, the group had added foley to enhance the sound of the footsteps which I felt was unrealistic. The instrument they used to make the sounds were too intense and harsh therefore made it obvious that it wasn't the actual movement of the characters that were making the noise. The non-diegetic music in the background was good, and suited the genre well as it was action packed, however I feel that they could have delayed the music until the actual running etc. started, as when causal scenes are happening in the beginning the music does not suit it.
