Opening Film Scene Review



UMIA
I really enjoyed this opening scene, it has lots of action involved in the opening scene but it doesnt go over the top and become unrealistic which is good.
The title at the start could be a little bit better shown as it was a bit boring, the title also is quite unique "Umia" doesnt give much away so it doesnt really give you nay ideas on what it will be about.
The logo that they use is very good it is very artistic.
 Actors are vert good to stay in role, they have some adults involved in the scene and they have really helped to make the scene more realistic.
Its very clever how they have got hold of the Police uniforms to wear also as it gives it a more realistic feeling. The handheld camera adds pace and adds a sense of more action occuring. The sounds are used cleverley as they are only used when they really need to be, they do not play sound the whole way through in the background which is good in my opinion because it highlights that what the people are saying is equally important. The sound of the sniper rifle is pearcing and shows us that the people are in the middle of know where with no one there to help them because the sniper rifle echoes.
Doesnt end obviosuly so it gives you a sense that you need to carry on watching it.
I cannot find anything to improve on this opening scene it is worth full marks in my opinion.

Disposistion

This opening scene is very good, it doesnt give much away from the start as it is very slow paced and then suddenly it turns very action packed and it just come from know where. The title would suggest that something is going to go wrong so it gives us a rough idea about what the film will be about. The setting of this film is very interesing it fits the kind of setting that something like this willl happen, it is up in the middle of know where, where no one can see them, the snow gives a kind of eery feeling, this scene would not be as good if it was in the summer.
The characters stay in role extremely well. The music is a little bit confusing as to what is happening they our playing rock music after the deah of someone it doesnt really make sense to me if i am completely honest.
