Analysis of another student film opening

Analysing other students film openings from different schools will help me look at more ways of producing my film opening and will help me understand which bits of the film opening are effective and which bits aren't allowing me to just use the effective techniques in my own film opening.

Genre

The genre for the opening sequence to Granted is crime fiction drama. The audience can see this through the crime facts at the start of the opening sequence

Editing

The editing is medium paced and continuous.

Sound

There is no sound at the start of the opening sequence which makes the opening sequence feel like something is missing. The non-diagetic sound starts when the film video starts. The non-diagetic sound also cuts out when the the title of the film appears. This is an ineffective use of sound.

Camera angles 

The camera captures some effective shots of the train and the characters but also has some shots that make the audience feel slightly uneasy like the screenshot below.

Mise en scene

The mise en scene has obviously been thought about as the scenery fits in with the genre of the opening sequence. The costumes of the gang members are stereotypical.
Titles
The titles are not integrated. The font is nice and fits into the genre of the opening sequence.
Characters
Three characters are established but nothing apart from a couple of shots develops them as characters. They are defined in the opening sequence by their clothes.

Evaluation
This opening sequence feels a lot like a crime documentary instead of a film opening. The sound is undeveloped and doesn't have a great impact on the audience. The titles are effective and in the correct order. The camera angles are good but some make the audience feel uneasy. The mise en scene is excellent and allows the audience to relate to the opening sequence. The characterisation is almost non-existent.
