Student Examples- Surface

Structure/narrative/performance
There is not a clear narrative structure, but a confusing/hectic structure is produced with the large number of random images whichs creates a brutal murder.

Camerawork
There is not many different methods of camerawork, but very short clips which only ggives the audience a brief view of what is happening, but these images create an effective opening.

Editing
The opening sequence was cut into very small clips and a mix of colours was used to create a kind of special effect when the titles appeared.

Sound
This sequence mostly contains non-diegetic sound which is a mysterious soundtrack which plays throught the sequence. However, a small amount of diegetic sound is used when the victim is being attacked. The sound used in "Surface" is effective as it relates to the mood of the sequence.

Mise en scene
Little mise en scene is used to emphasise the mood of the sequence, but the confusing immagery and short clips make an effective thriller opening.
