XII Hours
I would give XII Hours 50 marks, since it does most things very right, with goood music which creates suspense, an intruiging title sequence, a variety of shots, and good lighting amongst other things. The only thing which i felt let them down was the occasionally bad framed shot which i felt could have been done better, for example when the protaganist is walking down the stairs.
Countdown ???
I would give Countdown ??? 37 marks. It has a good use of lighting, framing shots, and a variety of camera angles. However i feel that the film is marred by its small amount of camera shot types, poor acting, the titles at the end being so poor I cannot interpret the last word, and the music not having much of an impact, being barely noticable.
The Following
I would give The Following 49 marks, since it was good in most areas such as camera angles and shot types variation, music, acting isnt bad, and framing shots. However parts which mark it down are how fast the title is shown (i had to pause so i could know what it is called) and the lighting at the start is very dark in places, meaning that actor's faces and actions cannot be seen, making the viewer not know what is happening. This is solved when they enter the woods.
The Gift
I would give The Gift 30 marks. The music is very good, and make up at certain points is good. However the film is blighted by terrible lighting, meaning that barely anything can be seen at points, making camera angles and shot types indistinguishable.
