We mostly got B's and some C's for media language, conventions, creativity, attention to detail and technical proficiency.

Positive feedback on the cinematography:

Point of view shot which was done with a handheld camera and the over the shoulder shot.Use of closeup to identify with protagonist.Good tracking shot and the long shot shows

Positive feedback on the mise en scene:

Dark costumes and atmosphere

Low key lighting fits genre. The light on the victims face enhanced the confusion on her face.

Positive feedback on the conventions and audience needs:

Identification with girl as you can tell shes a school girl because of the folder prop.Female victim showing vulnerability.Final girl.

Criticism feedback on cinematography:

Couldn't tell if it was meant to be shaky for a point of view shot or steadycam. More of a variety of angles.

Too dark sometimes, protagonist needs to wear lighter clothes to stand out amongst villain.Include more props to create terror..

need another light source..variety of angles where the light can come from.Blurry at times.
