Evaluation Question's

Social Media Feedback

Costumes

For our costume feed back, people said that the costumes were representative of the characters background, as well as describing the characters. However, some people said that it was difficult to tell who was who.

Locations

For location, people said that the majority of the locations made sense, but the kidnapping through the window didn't make sense.

Rough Cut Feedback

Questions:

1) What is actually going on?

2) Why is Ruby looking at a wall?
3) Why is there shaking at the end?
4) What sound is going to be used in the opening sequence?

Positive points:
1) I like the shots at the beginning.
2) The beginning of the opening sequence is clear and has a understandable story line.
3) The lighting used fits well with the characters presented.

Location

For our location, we used a house. By using a house as our location, we were able to manipulate things, such as light and shadows, to create an effective sense of confusion, making the audience understand how the main character feels.

Initially, we were going to film some scenes outside in a woodland area, such as when the boy was kidnapped, but we made changes to this, meaning that the kidnapping was witnessed from the inside.

Vlog Pitch Feedback

1) The questions asked got responses that could help with your opening sequence.
2) The plot is obvious, but how are you going to show the ghost?
3) The locations are suitable for the sub-genre.
4) Maybe you could use a screaming sound effect?
5) Sound used in the pitch was suitable for the ideas being presented.

From the feedback from our vlog pitch (from social media) we could improve our ideas and include more suitable ideas that would positively impact our opening sequence.

Five Key Questions

1) Did the storyline make sense?
2) Did the opening sequence fulfil your expectations of what a psycho thriller should be like?
3) How could the narrative be improve?
4) What about the characters made them suitable for the sub-genre?
5) If this opening sequence was to be made into a whole film would you watch it?

Costumes

In our opening sequence, we decided to use costumes that represented the characters working class back ground, dressing in causal clothing. The main character wears everyday causal clothing, to give the impression that she has mental stability, which contradicts with the effects that we used over. Also, the children that we used to play the daughter of the main character and the main character as a child are wearing the stereotypical child's clothing.

We have made few changes to our characters costumes, simply because we wanted to display our characters as working class.
