Student Openings

Angel Dust



From watching this student film we found that it worked particularly well in all four areas that we analysed. 

Synopsis
The main plot of this opening sequence introduces the main character, who is a young female, constantly blogging on a website about events that are taking place in her life. She soon finds someone that always comments on her blog and seems to be infatuated with her. As time passes she soon develops feelings and meets up with her admirer but all is not as it seems...  

Mise-en-scene
After seeing the groups production logo we are introduced to the main character who is a young girl on a blogging website, we see her blogging page as the camera zooms out. We then are introduced to the second character who is a young man commenting on her page.

Sound
The aspect of sound works very well as there is digetic sound included to help build tension and suspense as this girl is unaware of who it is she is communicating with. There is also the sound of keyboard typing which relates in with the film. The rapidness of this sound helps create and upbeat tempo.

Editing 
The editing process helps further animate the sequence and engage the audience but adopting different conventions. An example of this would be the typing in the frame as well as the character instead of just viewing it on the computer screen the whole time.
There is also changes in shots as the screen comes out and and moves around, bringing the audience into the next sequence instead of using average cuts.



Camerawork
The main character is conveyed through the use of camerawork as she always remains in the centre of the frame.



The additional character maintains a sense of mystery throughout as there is never a clear shot of his fase.
