Audience Feedback

An important part of the making of the opening was the audience feedback, as it let us know what we could do to improve our opening. We felt that the people we asked (our media class) were perfect, as they are the same age as our target audience, and would give us useful feedback for our film. This means it will appeal to our target audience a lot more.
  We showed the video to various people in our media class and found that there was a common comment people made, this was that they weren't really too keen on the shakiness of the point of view shots we used to portray the stalker. However, we decided to leave these shots in because we thought that if they were too smooth it may be difficult to show that it's someone watching her rather than just filming what she's doing.
  Another thing that we found from the audience feedback was that people weren't too keen on the blue tint colour correction we had previously added to the footage, they thought that it didn't link with the realism we had created in the rest of the video, so we changed it back.
   Finally, the class said that it maybe a good idea to add more sound effects, such as doors closing and heavy breathing, to make him sound more creepy, however we decided that we'd prefere to keep it simple and quieter to keep suspense.
