Previous Student Work Review: Calculated Killer

Pros:


- The music used is simple and laid back but it also has the ability to create suspense and tension.
- On the bus we see the character placed on the right of the screen, this shows the vulnerability of the character. 
- Good use of cross cutting to show narrative links.
- The graphic match from clock to clock is very clever.
- The editing and cuts from the gun shot to the stapler, to the filling of the cup is an impressive psychological motif of the gun shot and the blood that flows out the body.


Cons:


- The whistling of the character played by Will, whilst walking takes away the seriousness of the scene/opening a little.
- At the beginning of the opening shot on the bus, you can hear the slight hit of the camera and that takes away the sense of professionalism of the shot.
