1) The Deception (12E8) - I have ranked this first because I liked the title animation idea they did at the beginning. The shot reverse shot used is very well edited and the use of montage creates tension and that is good for an opening sequence because it can hook the audience into watching more. The music they used match the actions quite well and changed accordingly. I also thought the idea of using the ripples of the water to represent the sound of the door bell very clever.
2) The Slayer (12E10) - There are a lot of different shots used and that makes it interesting. The story line was very clear and the details in the office helped hugely for audience to understand who the characters are. However, I think the music could be improved.
3) Abduction (12C6) - They have used good camera shots/framing. I thought the idea of the CCTV was quite clever and nicely edited but it was a bit long. The titles wasn't very good either.
4) Snakes and Ladders (12B2) - The graphic match was beautifully edited and filmed and the titles at the beginning was good but not during the middle. There was too many close up shots and the storyline wasn't clear. It is also edited in way that's more like a TV show.
5) Graves (12C7) - They have used interesting camera shots and the panning was satisfying. Both the storyline and voice over was clear and easy to understand. However, the camera was a bit shaky.
6) Bacterium (12B1) - I like the titles and the shot reverse shot was edited nicely but a bit long. The storyline was not very clear and they need to cut down on the walking and focus more on what they are doing (storyline). I didn't like the music because I feel like it doesn't fit well.
7) Rundown (12E7) - I thought the titles was interesting and fits genre. A lot of action shots was included and some of them was very good, for example the over head shot and when he steps in the puddle. However, the start and end was terribly but together and didn't make sense at all.
8) It Swings in Roundabouts (12C7) - Good effects, interesting flash-back shots and music matched the genre, which helps create tension. The sounds effects need to be improved and the acting was quite bad.
9) Chroniker (12A2) - The idea of split screens they used was clever but it went on for too long and got boring. The story and ending didn't really make sense. The music was quite bad and annoying, and the sound bridge at the beginning was too long.
10) The Resistance (12B6) - They have use interesting POV shot. The shot reverse shot was badly filmed because they are looking directly at the camera which doesn't feels like a conversation. The camera was often shaky and the acting needs improvement.
11) 1962 (12E9) - Terrible framing, storyline wasn't clear. The music got annoying and the screaming was very irritating.
