Analysis of past students work

Parallel analysis:-


In the thriller opening we chose to analyse, two characters are introduced. They are both filmed living individual lives, 'parallel lives'. In these seperate lives they are both doing the same thing, showering and getting ready for the day. There are very good uses of editing skills in this clip, for example at 25 seconds into this opening the shot flickers between two shots, showing the two characters in the shower.
The group demonstrated a good ability to hold the shot steadily and a good ability to frame. There are plenty of examples, throughout the clip, of this being shown.
There is a good mix of diagetic and non-diagetic sound in this opening sequence. The use of the sound of water crashing to the shower floor is an example of diagetic sound and the added music is an example of non-diagetic sound. They both work well together.
