Final Movie Analysis



This is our final opening sequence for our action based thriller Money. I think our opening was a success although not perfect. These are the comments from our teacher:

+Demonstrates excellence across most technical aspects

+The titles are highly effective developing generic / narrative features through semiotics and colour use

+The overall feel of the piece ( editing / sound in particular ) is engaging fitting the chosen sub-genre

-The transition between the titles and opening scene was ineffective - animations and titles could have continued to include 'producer' / 'director' a cross disolve into an establishing shot would have been better

-Some of the animation could have been smoother just to add a greater degree of polish to the finished product


After analysing our video I can see all these points clearly and definately agree with all of them. Also we recieved feedback from our classmates who watched the video. Most was very good and there seemed to be many comments complmenting the professional look of the final piece.




Our final piece was given an A grade unoffically by our teacher as an accurate estimate according to his mark scheme. Comments from classmates further suggested similar.

I think that Money does fit the brief to create a two minute opening to a new thriller film with titles. Although there are some small elements that could be improved I think it came out very well. Compared to our initial storyboard the final product has changed significantly but the main attributes, the logos, the long title sequence, and footage at the end has not changed.
In my opinion I think the finished product is much better than our original plan.
