First audience feedback


Positives and negatives towards the production
Positives
Quick cuts IIII
Good pacing IIIII
Improvements
Better lighting I
More narrative/ dialogue II

This is our first part of audience feedback. We got our media class to sit down and watch our production. We then went around the class and asked for a positive and negative response from each person about our work. Some people did not respond with a negative and that is why there are more positives than negatives. Many people responded with similar things which is why we have recoded it in this statistical form.

How an Indie is Made.

For me I found this website very helpful even though it is not horror specific. It's all very good finding out how to create a horror film but many of these websites expect you o have a large budget that you can spend on your film. This website describes film making on a budget which is exactly what I need and is very helpful.

I have listened to a few of the scores used in other websites from this webpage and this has gi9ven me more of an insight on the scariest horror music you can used.

Opening Credits Filming

Here We have now filmed the scene for the opening credits. We may use this footage or not but we felt it was worth creating as we could not film the next scene in the story until we could get all of our actors.
