Dialogue 
Reaction shot 
Musical lip syncing on point
Great shot variety 
Emotion and expressions


White coat 
Very precise shots
Water pouring creates suspense
Sound effects used from early on in opening 
Titles look smooth
Sound effects are very coherent with shots 
Story line and what is going on is semi confusing
The scenery is very spot on 
The lighting compliments the mood nicely 


Stalker 
The clips weren’t put together like a story 
Dimmer lighting could have been used to make the scene more dramatic 
More sound effects could have introduced the presence of the stalker
More reactions and facial expressions could have been incorporated 


Nostalgia 
The storyline is confusing 
Not sure if the painting was a part of the setting
The opening didn’t seem to make what the “movie” could’ve been have a point only seemed like a short film that got straight to the point

Lost and Found
Camera follows character nicely 
Voiceover used in order to hear characters thoughts 
Lighting seems very appropriate 

Summary:
The openings I watched all had great qualities that my group could take into account and incorporate into our own film opening. For our horror opening, we should use sound effects appropriately and in the right places for suspense. The lighting should be dim. The characters should have the correct facial expressions, emotions and reactions. The storyline should make sense and the audience should not be confused as to what is happening in the opening.

Golden hour shines a beautiful bronze light on the beach below. Later on, a person in the frame with their back facing the sun shows a nice silhouette figure against the sun. On the way down to the beach, I took videos of the shops off 5th Avenue. I used the moving c...
