Good points:
A variety of different shot types were used including a tracking shot following him along the path as he walks along, a panning shot was then used as the camera turned around him. A variety of shot distances was used as they used long shots to set the location that he was walking along the street and then they also used close ups so the audience could see what he was reading.
A good use of editing was used including on the credits to make them more interesting and so they weren't just past of the background and they fitted with the thriller feel and each persons name was credited.
Editing was also used as they cut between each headline in the paper which caught the audience's eye well and created tension as they wonder what it meant.
Mise-en-scene in the clip included the man in the sequence wearing a suit and he had a brief case so then the audience understands he maybe some kind of business man.
Non diegetic sound included a kind of soundtrack but it just included a variety of different noises which confused us as the audience, it made us wonder what the noise is for, it creates tension and at a point of quick fast transitions we hear the music louder and it matches the speed of the transitions.
Quick transition in the clip increased the tension further and was appropriate to the clip
Bad points:
Many of the shots were quite shaky so it was obvious that they didn't use a tripod and this made it feel unprofessional and stopped the thrilling feel.
Overall the opening sequence of RIFT did follow many of the thriller conventions and it did create a lot of tension for the audience, it created a few enigmas that including - Why was he walking and where was he going? What's so significant about him reading the paper? What will happen next...?
