Here you can view the clip of the opening title sequence Target
From what i can understand from the sequence and the title, is that someone has stealthily broken into the house and that the man in bed is the 'Target'.
What do you think the rest of the film might be about?
The rest of the film would be based on the main character who is the one sleeping in the bed, and maybe he would have been captured and the rest of the film could have been about him trying to escape.
What is your view on the casting? Have they chosen convincing actors? (not necessarily in terms of their acting but in terms of their suitability for the role/the right look etc.)
You cant make much judgement on the casting as you only see one character, the character in bed does look vulnerable, however i feel as if would have been more effective if they maybe used a female character.
The only interesting thing about the man in bed is that you wonder why he may be the 'target', but then for the character coming up the stairs you want to know what he looks like and why he is actually there, especially when he is going through the documents that have been left on the desk, you wonder what is so significant about the documents, why he is looking at them and why theyve just been left out if they aree so important
What do you make of the camera work, editing, sound, how convincing is the mise en scene?
The camera work and editing is good because it constantly is cutting from the person who has broken in to the vulnerable man in bed, the use of 3 second shots allows us to see the mans movements, such as when he opened the window and door handle plus when he is sifting through the documents. The sound is perfect for the scene as it creates a feeling of tension, the alarm clock going of when it did was perfect timing and helped solidify the feeling of tension. The mise en scene was fine, but there is not much to comment on it.
I think that it is a location shoot, as there is use of windows and a bed. This makes the final product much better because it is much more realistic and just in general makes the scene more believable.
If there is music, does it fit the piece? What mood does it create?
The music fits the piece very well as it creates a feeling on tension and i believe that is what the sequence was trying to achieve. The music also creates quite a suspenseful atmosphere which really fits in with the scene.
How many credits are there and what roles do you think they are?
There are quite a few credits and i think the roles are everything, ranging from actors to editors.
The credits are very well spaced so we have time to read all of them, they are well positioned and very easy to read. I do like the font as its clear and very straight and yeah i do think it fits the piece.
What do you think of the film title they have chosen?
I like the film title that they have chosen, it sounds interesting and maybe like one of a film a may watch. The title is also effective as it fits into the opening title sequence and sounds like a good title for what i have seen so far.
Is it effective overall? Does it make you want to watch on?
I think it is really effective as it leaves a lot to the imagination, and yes it does make you want to watch on, it pulls you into the scene and makes you think about the possibilities of what could happen next.
What type of film do you think it would be if made for real? Low or high budget? Independent or mainstream? Cinema or straight to DVD? etc.
From the opening title sequence it looks like it could be a low budget film, but it would depend on how they want to develop it, so i could be either low or high budget it just depends on what they want to do with it in my opinion. I think if they make it high budget then definitely mainstream but, if low budget they should consider both. It should go into the cinema because i reckon it could be successful and then they could bring it out on DVD after
