The feedback received from our final finished product of our Thriller was mainly positive. We arranged for a group of 18 to 20 year olds to give their opinion on the storyline, shots, sound, tone and their overall verdict. All of the viewers agreed that the storyline was an intriguing opening to our thriller as it left enigmas in their minds. The most discussed topic was the shots we decided to use, and more specifically the point of view shot. A lot of them like this shot as they said it help set the tone of the thriller as a very cold, creepy film, which is what they would expect to feel at whilst watching a thriller. However we did get some disagreeing with the previous point, these people felt that the point of view shot was too random and confused them as it was very brief, they felt it was un-necessary.
The sound within in the opening was proved very popular as everyone agreed that the music added to the suspense of the thriller and liked how the stings matched up to what was happening within the scene. As well as this most of them liked the change of soundtrack once the title of the film had appeared they liked that the music speed up as the scene did. However the minority said they would have preferred the music to stay the same, as they felt the new non-diegetic soundtrack made it seem like there was supposed to be a change when their wasn’t. However everyone agreed that not having diegetic sound in the beginning and then introducing it after the titles had shown was a good idea as the first minute built the tension and the second half made it seem more realistic, air go creepier.
Overall we received good results as all agreed that we had made a realistic, “Thrilling” thriller as our plot, shots and sound set the tone of the film to suit the conventions of a typical thriller, without making our storyline predictable. All agreed that there is room in the film industry for a film like ours.
