Latymer School "Scarred" - Charlotte Woodward


This is a students project from Latymer School. I have focused on this particular project as it suits my genre, and I think I can learn from it.
Strengths:
Personal distribution company.
Good use of shots, and match-on-action.
Good use of titles - style of them.
It is clear that she has come home from a night out drunk - vulnerable.
Weak music to emphasize the terror.
Particularly like the scene where she leaves the lounge and walks into the kitchen. Before she turns on the light, there is darkness and a title appears which was very effective.
Loved the camera in the fridge scene.
Great facial expressions.
Great tracking shot from outside as if to impose that someone is watching her.
Weaknesses:
Was first slightly confused when she came home stumbling drunk, then she was sober in the next scene. Could've been more clear - possibly a scene to show that she fell asleep on the sofa, rather than opening her eyes in the following scene - wasn't very convincing that she had just woken up.
Could've made some scenes tighter in areas to increase intensity.
