Analysis of Student Thriller ( E Grade)

Camera

There isn't much shot diversity in this thriller opening in terms of camera angles, as the majority of it was filmed in mid shot. Filming everything in mid shot make the thriller lack excitement and can appear long and boring, also making the scene look unprofessional and messy. The lack of close ups and extremes close ups definitely limits this thrillers potential. 
Sound 

I do think that the sound works well in this thriller to create a distinct atmosphere. The chilling non-diegetic music definitely fits the thriller theme as the creepy music creates an eerie and tense environment. However I don't really think that the dialogue adding anything to this opening at all as the script was vague and didn't hint at anything to come in the narrative at all. A narrative enigma is usually good in the opening of a thriller however in this case I don't think that the dialogue was really needed.
Mise-en-Scene

There is low key lighting in this thriller opening which is typical of a thriller to create a mysterious and sinister atmosphere. The darkness with the warm glow of the street lights adds an eerie effect, however in the final 30 seconds or so, it is really dark with only torch light which makes it hard for the audience to actually see what is going on which makes the scene look amateur. Also, there wasn't any significant props in this thriller opening which makes the scene quite bland and not interesting, as there isn't anything being shown that had connotations of a typical thriller.  
Editing

In this thriller opening there is only straight cut editing used to transition between different shots. This limits the grade the this thriller could achieve and makes it look unprofessional and boring. The straight cuts almost drag out the narrative and don't add any excitement to the thriller at all. Therefore the use of editing in this specific thriller opening isn't the best as no substance or depth has been added.
