The Abduction - Media Studies AS Level Coursework

This is my coursework for my Media Studies AS Level degree. It had to be a 2-minute long opening sequence to a fictional film, and this is what I produced.

The style model for my opening sequence is Oliver Stone's "JFK" (this is apparent in the quick editing and the black-and-white flashbacks).

Before anyone asks, we will not be making this into a longer film - but please enjoy anyway :D

I don't want to repeat what others have already told you (then again praise is always welcome, right? Good job!)

How much marks/ what grade did you get for this?

I got 93/100 for this piece (equivalent to an A) and I also got an A on the written paper, making an overall (you guessed it) A. Thanks for watching!
