- Production company's logo is very impressive.
-The repetition of the images+ the increase pace really builds up suspense makes us empathise with protagonist.
- Sound and clips work perfectly together to maintain a tense atmosphere

-Really liked the first shot with the production logo, it was really effective and cleverly done.

-Liked the shots to show the relationship between the characters when they are playing football.

Improvements;
- The ending could be improved.
- It could have a stronger ending as it doesn't really explain why he has been taken.
- The titles at the beginning could stay up longer.
- While the two characters are playing football the camerawork is jerky.
- The swinging of the lamp could be smoother.
- Lighting in the end clips flick from light to dark, this isn't very noticeable but a little distracting.
- Potentially too dark in the captivity section.
- The pictures at the end go on for a little too long and the pauses on the photos are longer on some then others.
-The titles at the end make it look like a trailer.
- Titles were quite small, possibly make them slightly bigger.
- Use a mixture of effects instead of the thunder.
- Have titles and names up on screen for longer right at the beginning.
