  1. There's a good level of detail here, using media terms well. Good clear planning.

  2. Well done Serena, I don't think you need the briefcase - just the girl's hand is chilling enough and adds to the mystery.

    Your shots of the film you have done thus far are splendid. Well done to all of you, great composition, camera angles, lighting.
