Audience Feedback

'WWW: the use of music was effective as you made it seem like everything was just normal, which made the audience question what may be wrong as it was too normal, good use of enigma, nice range of camera shots

EBI: Maybe fade the music so it's lower towards the end so you can hear the guy speaking, the ending was a bit abrupt, maybe fade it out.'

'I really like the range of shots (especially the close ups while shaving and getting ready!) and how you managed to convey what was happening and the characters personality with very little dialogue. I cant really think of any even better ifs, expect for maybe making the Open Blind Productions bit a little bit shorter? It was really good!'

' what went well:
- I liked the slow pace as it gave the audience time to focus on every detail
- there was an excellent range of camera shots (especially the extreme close up of the character shaving)
- I enjoyed how it opened by giving us an insight into his pristine routine, as it raises questions about the motives and behaviours of a killer

even better if:
- I think a better font choice would have worked a bit better (maybe one more sleek and professional?)
- The dialogue at the end of the opening was very quiet and muffled 
- The shot of the 'open blind productions presents' was quite long, and could maybe have had something else to break it up- e.g. close the blinds before cutting to the next shot'

What I learnt:

Attention to detail must really be ensured in reference to the length and volume of shots and audio. My audience feedback proved that generic conventions of extreme close ups and enigma codes are favoured in drama pieces, and in the future I would perhaps consider using a wider variety of that aesthetic in my work.
