Strengths
- The slow paced music fits well with the slow paced editing
- The black and white titles are very appropriate for the genre and film
- Strong framing - for example, the women's head not being cut off when standing up in shot
- Strong mise-en-scene - this was especially in the over the shoulder shot which shows the army badge on the shoulder of the officer (provides anchorage), the gate, the front of the house and doorstep, the tree and the main protagonist walking i not shot showing her expression.
- well chosen shot variety
- affective signifier of affection when the women strokes the photo (shows she is connected to the photo)
- The mise-en-scene fits well with the music (the trees and scenery)
Weakness's - what to change and how to...
- Quieten the voice over, this may get rid of the background noise and hiss but this may have to be edited.
- Shaky camera work when filming the women opening the envelope - could re shot if time
- Maybe include extra voice over with the main protagonists thoughts, like she's looking back to the past, so showing the main protagonist in the modern day in her 70s/80s looking back (this would be at the beginning)
- The first panning shot is to long, it needs to stop when it gets to the middle where the women is so that the transition runs smoothly.
