Research- Analysis of a grade C video

Analysis of another students video 'THE SEARCH'


I decided to choose a video which was given an average score. The reason for this is because I believe that It has both advantages and disadvantages, and hopefully it will give myself an idea as to what you should and shouldn't include. I found that the extract uses credits that appeared at appropriate times and that the title was also good due to it mimicking childrens building blocks. I thought that the music fits in well with the thriller theme due to it being fairly sinister and dark. In addition I also liked the use of flash back as they are very common and popular in thrillers and engaging. However I noticed that the lighting in the main characters bedroom was too dark meaning that the quality of the video didn't come across as professional or meet a high standard in this particular scene. I also felt confused at certain moments within the extract as I found that the story-line was slightly unclear, and therefore this may loose the tension and the audience's concentration. Another point to note is that the extract came across as a trailer rather than an opening scene. The reason for this is because I feel as if the video revealed too much at the start and therefore this can be disliked by many and not engaging.
