Overall I am very impressed at the quality of the practical outworking of your initial idea. Your idea was elaborate but you up-skilled and produced a well-made, well thought-out opening to a film. Your work shows thought and insight into the thriller genre, employing thriller conventions such as effective sound, colour grading, the use of contrast between light and dark, voice distortions and symbols/ iconography like the blood and cracked mirror.
The after effects you have mastered to create the credits as well as the mirror scene, in particular are not easy and you've done well at finishing this in time. The credits and logo are well thought-out and tie in nicely with the overall theme.
I was disappointed that your final edit didn't contain the shot-reverse-shot that you initially spoke about including. This needs better planning to ensure at the shooting stages, that you get the footage you need on the day.
I also feel the voice-altering effect done showing the voices in Christian's head are in need of some work to make them distorted yet still articulate and understandable.
Overall a very successful project that shows your progression and learning from PT 1 to PT 2 to this film sequence.
Overall score: 8/10
