Group 1 (Mind the Gaps)
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
Throughout the film opening I liked the Close-Up Shots because they help you capture the facial expressions and emotions, The Dutch Angle because it helped portray the patients feeling of forgetfulness, and The Inserts because it provides the feeling of a glitch of what is actually happening so the audience knows the truth.
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
I wish I could have seen more variety in the technical elements. It felt like it was the same five elements being used. A little more diversity in the techniques would have made the experience more interesting and engaging, rather than feeling repetitive and predictable each time.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
This movie opener was really impressive and definitely grabbed my attention. It created a sense of curiosity that made me eager to find out what happens next. The way it set the stage for the story left me wanting more, which is always a sign of a great start
Was there anything that left you confused?
One thing that left me confused was the email part, when she received the email there was not really enough time to read the only thing we see is red words like urgent and etc so it just left me confused about what the email contained. Another thing that left me confused was the glitch, I feel like most people might not get it, it took me some time to get that it shows reality vs what she said.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
One suggestion I have is to add some time in some clips like the email clip so the audience can read and understand it so they can know what is going on. Another one is making more technical elements to help experience more interested and engaging of the audience.
Group 2 (Two Peas in a Pod)
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
In this film, I really appreciated the zoom-in during the conversation. It effectively captured the friend's emotions of feeling left out. This technique added depth to the scene, allowing the audience to connect with the character's struggles and enhancing the overall impact of the moment in the story.

Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
This definitely has the feel of a movie opener, but the only reason I’m curious about what happens next is that the film was chaotic and unclear. Instead of building excitement, the confusion left me with more questions than answers, making it hard to stay engaged with the story.
Was there anything that left you confused?
The film left me confused for several reasons. I wondered what the guy told his friends and how that impacted the story. These details are crucial for the audience to understand the plot. Without them, the film can become quite confusing and leave viewers with unanswered questions.
What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
One suggestion that I have is that if you start your film horizontally then finish the video horizontal, don't switch between vertical and horizontal during the film. Another suggestion is to let the audience know what is going on, it will make the film more interesting and engaging.

What specific technical elements of the film opening did you like?
In this film some specific technical elements that I like was the tracking shot at the beginning because it followed the characters and introduced the reason why they are at the park and make the video follow. Another technical element I enjoyed was jump cut , I really enjoyed this element because it helped support the idea that her friend was being paranoid at the park by showing the various angles
What specific technical elements of the film opening did you dislike?
In the film one specific technical element I did not like was the pan shot / establishment shot of the lake just because it was felt very out of place. I believe a point of view shot would have been better because it will help the audience set the scene from the protagonist eyes.
Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next?
This did look like a movie opener and it did make me want to know what happens next because it all ran smoothly and it keeps the audience on their toes of what will happen next. It was like a big adventure waiting to unfold, and ending this on a cliffhanger definitely makes the audience know what will happen next.
Was there anything that left you confused?
Everything made sense, and nothing left me feeling confused. Everything felt organized and in its right place. I didn't notice anything negative that caught my attention. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I appreciated how well everything came together without any distractions or issues to worry about.
