Response to feedback

1) What comments do you agree with/disagree with and why?
In our feedback is mentioned a few times that the scenes do not connect to each other and that it doesn't make sense. We feel that although this is a fair comment, the way we have edited our sequence this is the effect that we wanted. The narrative is not meant to be entirely clear as we believe that a thriller should be something which constantly leaves people guessing. Also, the fragmented structure is meant to convey the state of mind of the protagonist and show how he is 'torn'. One point that was raised was that the opening would benefit from titles, we agree with this and have decided to include titles throughout our sequence otherwise the opening could be mistaken for a trailer (a point also made). Are soundtrack received mixed reviews, some thought it was too simple and some thought it fitted well, we may decide to add some more layers of sounds so that it does not over complicate the soundtrack, but makes it more engaging and interesting.

2) What can you do at this stage to respond to the feedback and make improvements? (Film, effects, sound, filters)
At this stage it is possible to make some changes to our opening relevant to our feedback. Firstly, it was mentioned that the opening would benefit from titles, this will be possible to do through final cut. Also, our soundtrack could possibly sound better with the use of more sounds but with the limited loops available on 'Garageband' it may be hard to find the appropriate sound to consistently keep up the atmosphere that we have worked so hard to create.
