Right from the start of the sequence, the audience are immediately alert with the logo. The logo produced is very affective as it uses good animations. However the time the logo is on the screen is a bit short as you cannot read what it says. The after affect after the logo works well as it alights the audience. The first title was a fade to black, which worked very well with the whole concept of the film as it created fear and anxiety. The lighting was good to at the beginning as it was rather dark, which immediately created tension. Furthermore the cross-cutting i found was very good as it flowed well with the good use of continuity. Also it was used in the right place e.g. when there was a conversation between Matthew and josh.
Throughout the film there where various shot selections used from close-ups, mid shot, establishing shot and high angle shots. This was a good range of shots to use as the sequence always kept the viewer alert in what happening. The shots worked well in terms of what shot used for what concept. My favourite shot was the extreme-close-up of josh’s face when talking on the phone. This built immense tension as it showed emotion of the character. It was also easy to tell what the narrative was in this sequence from looking at the cross-cutting.
The audio is this sequence I think is very good as it flows well with what is happening. The music is fast and upbeat which works well with a man-on-the-run concept. It consistently builds tension and keeps the audience alert.
One of the things that the group could improve on is the continuity editing between the conversation of matthew and josh. When there is a conversation, at one point there is a 5 second gap when one of them says something. This is shows that the sequence is not professional and the editing isn’t very good. As in film nowadays you will never see a time gap between conversations unless it’s intended. Also at some points in the film the audio overpowers the conversation.
