7 Explain what works well and what doesn’t work well
The music for the credits does not work well because the music is a bit jumpy but it will do. What did work well are the little bits of footage on the new Batman film ‘The Dark Knight’ in between the footage where I have cut it. The clips give a professional touch to the film.
