feedback

In lesson time, we presented our edited version of the opening. We did this so that we could get good feedback and could evaluate our position. from there we can decide whether or not we should do extra filming or take out bad shots. this is the feedback we received:

The generally feedback from the audience was positive, especially for the narrative as everyone said that they had a thorough understanding of the narrative through clear representation. We were aiming to portray a phycological thriller, and the audience felt that it should lay under this genre. They also said it has elements of a Teen-British production.

However, we received criticism through our camera work as some of the point-of-view shots were too shaky and unclear. We were aiming for the attacker not to be seen, but some of the critics suggested that a close up of the hooded attacker should be shown. We will try to take on board the information we have given and produce relevant shots that reflect their suggestions.

People felt that our background music was good and effective in its eeriness as it built up the tension for the final scene where the music cuts out and the diegetic scream is heard. Therefore, we are going to leave the sound as it stands as it leaves the narrative on a cliff hanger.

With the information we have received, we are going to make some adjustments. Firstly, the point-of-view shot will be recreated with a steadier camera shot. Also, there is a transitional problem that we are going to address and fix by making it flow smoother. Another shot that we may add to the opening, is a close up of Kim (the victim) to show her fear while she feels she is being stalked
