We were given the task in class to go about veiwing other students As coursework. Obviously working with all the available equipment, loactions, actors and props these film openings were made as proffessionally as possible. Understanding that we have to undertake this task soon our task was to look for and underdtand what they were going for in the film. Hopefully through pointing out faults in the students films, we would avoid making the same errors, therefore allowing our film to have more impact in the opening two minuets and establish what we're trying to get across.

I think that the first thirty five to fourty five seconds of 'BROKEN' work well. In the forst few seconds of the film opening there is a depiction or silhouette of a young male sitting in darkness by a window, who seems to be sobbing over a picture of him and a loat friend or lover. In the first scene, focus is cast upon his torso, which sits a scar. A possible indication of an accident that may have occoured, resulting in a sorry outcome. There is a shot of the yung male from behind, showing his darly lit back, which is also scared or cut. The next scene is the ambitious chase scene, from which i feel the film begins to deteriorate. The 'fight' scene is carelessly edited, and the camera framing is extremely shakey. The idea the producer, i felt, tried to get across showing the characters as thuggish participants, in fight scene which failed to portray any sense of good or evil. From this scene i failed to make any connection with the characters, therefore i was unable to get into the film, to 'take sides' for either the baddy or goody. The final scene was the worst of BROKEN, which is a blacked out visual, with the names of the producers and participants in the bottom corner accompanied by a weak voice, accusing somebody of a murder, shortly followed by the sound of gunshots.
