In class we were each told to watch and evaluate our fellow classmates' film openings, then record our findings on a sheet. My film opening was evaluated by Romina, and this was the feedback I received:
Mise-en-scene: The costumes of the characters tell the audience that the time period is more middle aged as opposed to being made in modern times. The props are really good because they reflect the classy feel of the atmosphere.
Camerawork: I really liked the use of shots at the very start of the opening of glasses of wine, paintings on the wall and the bookcase, whilst the voice over is being played because I think they really set the scene and show the audience the calm and laid back atmosphere. I think as an improvement for the ending scene (when the murder has happened) as people are running into the room, a close up shot of each of the characters would've been really good to show the drama and how everyone responded to it.
Editing: I thought that the transitions and the music really brings the opening together. I really liked the sound you chose for the ending of the opening when the murder happens as it builds tension.
Sound: I liked the used of the calm piano music at the start whilst everyone is mingling because it creates a happy, calm mood until the murder happens and then the thriller-type music is introduced. I think this was a really good juxtaposition.
