wow
firstly that was a great opening sequence to a film you can relate this piece to several other horror movies.
The use of camera work to keep the killer a secret was excellent, the shot when the teacher turns around was quality.I was also very impressed with the use of zoom the way you zoomed in to show the reaction of the teacher before zooming out again was very effective.
The one and only bit of critism is when the teacher is in the classroom she isnt wearing glasses but when she leaves the classroom she is, apart from that a very effective piece of film.

WOW.. well DONE !!!

That is an excelent intro of the movie. I can tell it is Horror. the lighting and the location used was very good. The soundtrack kicked in at the right time which is quite creepy and creates tension. The camera movement was great so as the sound effects. the zomming was a little not stable. It could have been even better if you added some transitions duting editing.
As greg mentioned about the glasses that confuses people a little. Other than that i thought filming was great and effective.

Wow that was really good. You really did capture the whole horror aspect. I liked that you used a variety of shots and angles. Also the music went really well.
However to improve i noticed that in the classroom lacey wasnt wearing glasses and once she was out she was. It seemed unrealistic. Finally one more thing was i dont know if you would see the whole body shot of the 'killer' in the begining of the film.
But i really did engjoy your film.

That was so good girls:) The different camera shots and angles you used looked really good. The tension that is created is great you dont know what is going to happen at the end to the teacher and it leaves you in suppense and makes you want to see it. As everyone else said the only critisism is that the teacher is wearing glasses when she leaves.

i'm actually hocked, that was fantastic.
I love the use of zoom within your production , how it enables us to instantly see the fear in the teachers eyes.
The mus you used really added tention, building up to the end shot of Cat.
I thought the story was orginal, and very creative too.

Hello,

I really want to watch the rest of your film now!

I think the music that you have used to build suspense is very effective but not to over the top. I also like that you only show parts of the delinquent and not the whole delinquent until the end of you scene. I think that filming it at night defienatly makes it seem scarier and I think that that was very clever.

I like the match on action shot of Lacey opening the door, also i like way the the digetic sound of the door squeking adds tension.

I like the zoom shots, they keep the shots varied and interesting

Well done !

The Mis en Scene in this piece is used very effectively, it is not clear at the beginning as the news reader scene plays the part of setting a scene rather than explaining the genre, but the moment you capture even a glimpse of the "Delinquent" it becomes clear that this is a Horror/Thriller movie.This is clear due to the quiet eery corridors where all you can hear is the echoes of footsteps and creaking doors. When we are shown the evil character we know this because of the evil dragging foot walk and out of place white clothing.
