Good features
The way the clips are edited builds suspense
and makes you want to watch it to find out
more
The sounds and effects line up perfectly with
the video
Good and not so good features
Not so good features
The quality of the audio could be improved
There aren’t really many transitions, a lot of
the video clips jump straight to the other, this
helps built tension. However I think a flash of
white, almost like a lighting strike could be
added and not lose the tension building
quality
Suggestions for improvements
Use a larger file to keep the quality of the
original audio
Add some transitions that I described in the
‘not so good features’
The clip is suitable for the target audience
because it is not too violent and is also funny
