"How does your own experience of media consumption illustrate wider patterns of audience behaviour?" Over the last ten years, we have seen a revolution in our media consumption habits , driven by the ubiquity of smartphones, the rise of social media and the rollout of broadband. Younger audiences are more inclined to use smartphones as opposed to linear television. The introduction of Netflix and YouTube has caused the rapid decline in linear television in people under the age of 40.

Some great aspects to this idea, the shots are great and the effects you've added work well. Overall, you have done well to recreate the thriller genre codes and conventions in your opening sequence. With some more practise, your editing style will become more sophisticated and transitions and sequences more seamless. Considering you have only had a few months to learn the technology, this is a great attempt.
Points for consideration:
- shots of the trees are great and add an effective element to the tone and feel of your film
- great use of shadows and concealment / darkness
- use of vulnerable characters is effective
- credits popping up work well - fonts are important as they really add to a look and feel of a film. Potentially a more sinister/ scary font for your credits and title could have really added another layer of suspense to your film
- music would have been good to have 'changed gears' for intensity at key moments, mainly at the end when one of the girls get taken
- credits at the end are usually spaced out and scroll in line with usual movie conventions
