There are several things that I'm not entirely happy about for the final opening. For one, the timing is just... way too fast paced, in my opinion. I probably should have spent a bit longer on certain shots, like the shot of the chair at the end. The meaning is also somewhat lost, but that's probably more due to the fact that we forgot to shoot a shot that would have made it clear what the bin bag was for (a shot of the bag with blood around it before it's picked up), because with just the shot of the second knife covered in blood (which was meant to show it having been used) and the shot of the eyeball and the empty chair with the man's shirt on, it's not entirely clear what has actually happened to him.
The shot at the beginning doesn't seem to last long enough either. It's a very, very fast jump into the fast paced second piece of music, and it just seems off.
The music fading at the end came in way too early, which we didn't notice until after we'd rendered the video.
The lighting is off in certain bits, more due to situational factors than our own choices (the sun kept being hidden by clouds in the middle of shots, changing the lighting).
The "company logo" bit could have gone by a lot quicker than it did, saving us space (because keeping to a 2 minute limit is annoying).
That "green bar" problem came back, but this time with a yellow bar, and for some reason that highlighted random parts of the videos and made them yellow as well. I don't know what the hell is wrong with After Effects.
The blood wasn't used as well as it could have been - the "spattering" that is first shown doesn't really make much sense, considering the killer cuts the guys throat in the next shot, and it's not really explained where the blood before was from.
Overall, I'm not happy with the final piece that we've handed in, but Tom was a great guy to work with and hopefully we get an acceptable mark anyway.
