Feedback Reviews From Our Target Audience

My group and I shared our final film opening on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to get feedback.
The criticism returned was plentiful and very useful to both myself and my group. These ideas have been taken on board as it is important to get it just right for our target audience so that it fully attracts and addresses them to a high standard. These final amendments shall be dealt with very shortly.
The feedback received are as follows:

YOUTUBE:

"This has got to be.... THE BEST FREAKING THING EVER!

Everything is filmed to perfection and edited like an absolute boss.

The sound effects are the bomb, the angles are the best, and the storyline is spooky.

I think this should get top marks!

Well done to everyone involved in making this :D

10/10

"You've done a really great job! I love that it slowly builds up, not giving too much away, especially through the use of over the shoulder shots so that the stalkers identity isn't revealed. It isn't made clear what is definitely happening (kidnap/murder?! is the film going to be about him or the girls?) so you want to watch on and find out. The POV shots of the stalker are very effective and the music is very fitting! It's good to see you using stereotypes with the girly sleepover. Also, the fade out at 2:10 is a great idea! A few ideas: I think that you could possibly slow down the shot of Amara dialing the phone number, and maybe try a cross dissolve at 1:23 as the two shots don't seem to link so seamlessly as the rest of the scene in the bedroom. Also: if you've got the footage perhaps you could extend the phone call at the end slightly? It seems like it doesn't ring for that long.. or maybe if you don't have more footage, you could slow down the footage and just have the ringtone play again? I just watched the previous version on your YouTube and the development from it to this one is so clear, for instance in that one the conversation at the beginning was quite long and you didn't see much to suggest that someone is watching but now those things have been sorted. Overall a great job!"

"This is really good Amara Bullen! I found it quite spooky, and scary how easily that could be real life. Also found it very strange seeing my niece being kidnapped! Well done, think you and your friends did a great job xxx
P.S -you sound well posh in the opening!            "

" You decided on a name finally! I love it, it's great! Well done guys!"

"I though it was good too, with all those camera angles and stuff. the plot was good too  overall it was awesome! but i had to start laughing when i saw charlies name in it, and i was like Omg! That's his red car  at least I've seen it now LOL but it was really good :L"

"Me and Kev just watched this, well done hon its fab, bit scary really! xxx"

" Really impressed! Thought it was tense! Very well put together and the camera in the fridge was a great bit of production!!! Music in the background was very good too. You all did really well! Can't wait to see the next episode!"

"Me and a friend are in the middle of editing and putting together our opening sequence for media, this opening sequence is so good though! i loved it, lots of different camera angles and shots, i really liked it  xx"
