We asked a group of 6 students what they thought about our opening sequence for 'The Contract'. They made the following judgements:
Camera Work
Most people thought that our production had some great camera work, particularly saying they liked the reflection in the sunshades at the graveyard scene, the reflection in the Hilton Hotel window of one of the assasins and the reflection of the other assassin in the red bus.
Editing
There were mixed views regarding the editing. Generally everyone could follow the plot, but didn't know if the protagonists were assassins, terrorists or spies. This was an attempt for us to create a sense of intrigue for them. A couple of people thought that the pace could have been faster.
Soundtrack
Again there were mixed views about this with some people saying that they really liked it and that it worked well following the assassins until they were caught in the trap. Others thought that it too needed to be upbeat.
Locations
Everyone liked the locations, particularly the Hilton Hotel and using local locations such as Westbourne Grove tube station.
Mis-en-scene
The use of iconic London images such as the red phone box, the red buses, the tube symbols and so on worked really well. They though that the costumes were appropriate for two hit men, as we were both wearing suits and sunglasses.
