Opening Sequence Feedback

After I had finished my opening sequence, I asked multiple people to give feedback on what they thought about my opening sequence, based upon certain questions.

Response 1:

I think that the opening sequence meets it's purpose of giving a representation of teenagers and in being entertaining. The media language is mostly clear, with slightly lower camera angles making the character seem powerful and intimidating. The visuals are appropriate as the setting fits with the idea that the character is a teenager, but a variation in costume and location would have been better. I feel that the target audience is targeted well, as males are attracted because of the use of weapons and with the genre being action. The opening sequence looks quite good overall with a variety of camera shots, but different locations could have been used as well. The technical qualities are also good, with the text giving us an insight into the main character, and the sound adding to the overall atmosphere and tone. The opening sequence compares well to the storyboard, with most of the key technical and visual aspects covered, except for the appearing text.

Response 2:

The sequence meets the purpose of creating enigma, as we don't get a full insight into who the main character is. The camera shots give us a connection to the main character with the camera being close to the main character, but a wider variety could have been used, such as more low angles to make the character intimidating and dangerous. The target audience has been targeted quite well because the film is action, which is usually associated with males, but could have been more explicit in hobbies and interests. The aesthetics could have been better in terms of location, but it is still appropriate. The technical aspects are quite good with the transitions, sound and titles. It compares to the storyboard well as all of the camera shots are the same, and most elements are covered.
