Christina and angelica's rough cut

Strengths:

  • Establishing shots are well placed
  • Good use of natural light to give an eerie feel
  • Text effects are impressive, the way they jitter in gives the viewer the sense of a horror or maybe supernatural film
  • Font used also gives of supernatural feel
  • Placement of props (drills, blocks of wood) describe a gritty, workshop environment
  • Doesn't give away too much of the story and not too little


Weaknesses:
  • Music is good at the beginning but loses dramatic effect when the strings come in
  • Shot after the title "something wicked" doesn't seem to have a lot going on or anything interested to catch the eye compared to the other shots
Recommended changes
  • Replace shot after main title with new establishing shot or remove the shot
  • Keep the music nice and simple without the need for strings or find a way to make the strings fit more with the overall loop (i'm not sure whether you guys made it with garageband or not)
  • Maybe more shots of the protagonist entering the room (more foot shots?)
There doesn't seem to be anything missing, only tweaks are needed. Overally i thought this was a good opening.

CYA!
