Me and Sophiyah organised a focus group to watch our opening sequence then give us feedback on what they thought about it. Before re-editing, some feedback suggested we should hold our camera more steady and some suggested to present the 'flashback' in black and white to give it a more flashing back feel. Unfortunately, this copy was accidentally deleted but we managed to re-edit it with the criticism. We again asked our focus group to watch it and give us their feedback again. This is the response we got:
Steve Perry - As an opening sequence it got me interested in what was to happen next. Hints of lots of things (knife, locking in a cupboard, walking outside) to make you question what caused that? What's happening there? So it makes you want to see more.
Lisa Perry - Straight away when the first shot of the tree came into scene it make me intrigued to what was to happen next, what was the symbolism of the tree. I considered whether it would connect with death further on in the movie and that they were just using it as a clue or a key scene for their overall Opening sequence. I really liked how they improved their steadiness because before I found it a bit difficult to adjust to it and take it seriously.
Lindsey Brandon - My only criticism to this movie was that the heartbeat sound when someone was being pushed into the cupboard wasn't loud enough, however this was understandably difficult for Alicia and Sophiyah to change as it was the loudest they could get. I'm not a thriller fan but this definitely interested me in wanting to watch more as it didn't give a lot away.
Jason Brandon - For 17 year olds, this opening sequence was really good and especially the shot of the tree at the beginning I found really movie-like. You really want to find out more like did the car really run her over? Why did she walk out? Why was the girl pushed into the cupboard? Who's blood was on the knife? It just really got my attention and made me want to watch more.
