Previous Students Work

On the 3rd of November we began to watch previous students thriller films. We had to rate them on a scale of 1-4, 1 being the weakest. We saw some poor work and some outstanding work, but what really stood out for me was that it doesnt really matter too much about the story line, its about the execution of our work. Even if our story line is poor, as long as we have a variety of shot distances, shot angles, clear and still camera work, paired with good sound and good titles, we are able to get good grades. The poor work we saw always focused on the story line and making the audience interested, however the camera and sound was weak. However we do still need to keep our story line interesting and not stereotypical of thrillers.
