Strengths

Professional credits as it seems part of the mise en scene

Wide variety of camera shots to build tension using short, snappy close ups that is well framed. While long shots allowed us to understand their location.

They have used jumpy cuts that allowed the audience to feel on edgy and captivated.

Used a range of edits that was continuous, such as Juxtapose.

The background music was used to build up tension. The characters was easy to understand. In addition,

they have used simple props (roller skates) to build up pace in the opening, allowing the audience to know that this is an action movie.

Weaknesses

Their acting was not realistic. The title composition was not as

successful as the audience can’t read it clearly.

The character’s costume didn’t symbolise much apart from him being a teenager.
