Comment from Sana on the dialogue version:
"They have set the scene and I can sense a serious tone to this pre-credit scene. it is punchy and contains all the elements required to produce an exciting script for a movie. He has not outlined the protagonist much or the antagonist however, I can see a slight appear of those characters. I feel as if Sam is the protagonist because of his dizzy behaviour and as he seems slightly naive. The atmosphere goes from serious to funny. It is very surprising towards the titles because it was not excepted. In this case it does establish the subject, however it does it very vaguely. In conclusion, this piece of pre-credit sequence is well developed, seems that you have thought about this well and set the script in order of event so that it makes sense. It was very engaging however do try to be more obvious in some parts because it can be slightly vague. Well done! :)"
I think that Sana was accurate with her comments and I think that they were fair. She picked up on the random singing and dancing element of musicals. She said that some bits were a big vague and I agree as I don't really have a plan for upcoming events.
