Audience Reviews
We have decided to ask some of the intended target audience about the 2nd draft we created. We have decided as a group to make 2 changes to the opening due to their feedback given to us.
1. We spoken to Charlotte who was a member of our media class. The film opening didn't appeal to her as a film opening more like a film trailer. 'Having the production name at the start of the opening reminded me of a film advert' we have now decided to change this in the next edit of the film and have the production name at the start of the opening instead of the end due to the feedback given.
2.We also spoke to James who is also in our media class for some feedback on the second draft. He said that he liked the opening however 'some of the shots were very bright and this contrasts the conventions of a horror film' so we decided in the next edit we will change the shots to be black and white.

Seventh & Final Draft
We have changed the voice over in this draft. This is because it wasn't loud enough so the audio kept on dipping in the clip, also we felt Steve needed to sound more nervous. Also it sounded more like a narrative than a police interview this is why we decided to change it.

Sixth Draft
This was only a quick and simple change to this draft we decided to change and remove the girl laughing, we decided this as it doesn't fit in with our narrative due to the laughing girl sound very young and Grace looks make more older than that.

Fifth Draft
In this draft we have decided to add in the title for the opening. We have decided to add the colour of red as it has connotations of danger which is like horror films which are constantly danger. Also the colour makes it stand out against the black and white filters we have on the scenes.

Fourth Draft
This is draft number 4 which has some more improvements that we have decided to add. We have added a extra shot in of Capman in the garden. This was due to in case people wouldn't notice Capman in the background.
We also added in a voice over of a police interview of Steve being interviewed. This is so the audience do not get confused and what the opening is about, therefore by adding a voice over people would have more of a understanding what is happening.

Third Draft

Second Draft
This is edit number 2 on our film opening, we have added brand new footage as we as a group decided to re film the footage. This is much better quality footage, the quality was much higher and the costumes of the actors are much better than the first draft. We edited this on Final Cut Pro X.

First Draft
This is our first draft for our film opening and it's got the correct structure but there are some issues that need to be fixed.
1. The first shot.
This shot is to light, we wanted the fully effect of the car lights in the dark evening and this is more at a dusk time so this needs to change so we have the full effect.
2. Walking shot.
This shot changes the lighting from the first shot very dramatically. This is not very good transitions of the scenes. They should of been shot at the same time. The timing for the walking shot is the perfect timing for the shot, the first shot should of been also done at this time so it would make it more darker.
3. Costume.
This costume is not a very convincing male costume. We have decided as a group to cast a male member for our next shoot so it will make it look more realistic.
4. Props
The dinner that has been served is a prime example of the fact we need more realistic props. The use of the celery made it very unrealistic so therefore in the next shoot well have planned to buy a ready meal to make the scene more realistic.
5. Audio
In this first draft in the background you was able to hear some people exchanging conversation. This made it look very unrealistic and not professional
Pre Filming
For filming we set ourself up, we had a quick glance at the script just to make sure we were comfortable with what we were saying and to make it sure that we knew what we were saying. We also photocopied extra pieces of the storyboard to make sure we shot every scene we needed so we crossed each time we completed a scene. We kept all of this in the main filming room so we didn't loose anything and everything was kept organised. This is the photo of the group all reading over the script.
