Feedback Session Results

 Today we screened our thriller opening to an audience of about 20+ people. We handed out 10 of our feedback sheets. A lot of people had a rough idea of what was going on in the opening, which is always positive. Good points made by the audience were things like camera shots/angles as well as the use of music. A favourite aspect of one viewer was the sense of isolation + desolation created by the setting and music. They also seemed to find the characters relatable and enjoyable, not many disliked the characters. From this we have gathered a lot of positive feedback overall, which is good as we ourselves are pleased with our edit so far.

 In our group we have already decided on certain things we still have to edit, and at what point in the opening we'll add in the credits, title, etc. We hoped to get more improvement points from our feedback sheets but not many people put down serious suggestions. Although we had already decided the majority of things we wanted to change, it would have been helpful to receive a wider view. One improvement that was put forward was not to spend too much time panning the woods at the beginning of the opening. This added to our own thoughts and therefore we have decided to add in credits at this point in the film.

 Overall, the feedback session was fun and fairly informative as we were able to look at other groups thrillers as well. It's good to know that our age group seem to have a positive opinion of our product when it isn't even finished yet.
