T2-58 THRILLER - FINAL from SATMEDIA on Vimeo.

The group mainly hand held their cameras but were able to keep the shots steady allowing the audience to be able to follow their plot. They were also very good at framing especially during the detective scenes as only certain bits of the map or of his notes we're visible. There was a variety of shot distances used appropriately from long shots showing the murder to close-ups of the detective working away. The material shot is very appropriate to the task and creates tension and mystery. The mise-en-scene is very effective and creates fear as the lighting is very dark and there is very little colour shown. The editing effectively shows what is happening this is because the editing is parallel showing both the murder taking place and the detective trying to solve the murder, the editing also has perfect continuity. There is no transitions between the shots but there is a whole set of clips showing the detective which are black and white. The sound works really well with the clips creating a captivating and interesting opening. The titles are effective and placed in appropriate places where they don't distract from the action.

The blog shows that they have effectively planned what they are going to do and how they are going to do it allowing any readers to get a good grasp of the thought patterns and how they came around to their final opening. There isn't much research on the blog just a few DVD covers/ posters and a very short mention to one film. I think we could use their idea of someone trying to figure out the crime but put a twist on it for example you see the murderer planning the murder instead of the detective figuring it out.
