Feedback

 

After showing our two minute film opening to the class for the first time we received the following feedback:

The crow noise after the production logo doesn't fit into our Thriller genre but instead is more of a connotation for Horror, the audience suggested putting it when the logo comes onto the screen and dimming the noise so it is more in the background. This was because the audience said after hearing the crow noise they would aspect the film to be outside so by making the noise softer it would be like the crow was outside the house. (Crows connotate  death which was one of the good points.)

Some said how the reoccurring eyes were a good touch, one of the reasons was that it was enigma of who's eyes they were. They also said the use of spooky music increases tension in the opening but when the girls are in the bedroom it would be better if the music was different; maybe that would show the audience the change in scene and connotate a party. It would also juxtapose the creepy music which would make the opening more effective.

 

Another good point was the make-up used. The viewers mentioned how well done the cut on Effie's neck was and that a lot of films' bad make-up choices ruins them but ours was effective. They also praised how the opening works well as a film opening and doesn't look like a trailer.
