"A great movie opening, can be to dark in the cellar, but did have a great effect, not seeing much. The beginning didn't give to much of the story line away which made me want to watch more. Excellent editing of the T.v scene extremely effective movie opening. It gave me chills."
From this feedback, I reckon if I were to film in a dimly lit setting again, then I would consider adding more light and make sure I still have the tension, though coming through the music, costume and dialogue. It was good to hear that Amie said the beginning did not give to much away, which was important to us because we wanted it to end with the audience wondering how it will continue.
Other people we got to watch our end result said that "it was really good" and that it was clever how we zoomed in on Daisy's eyes on the poster and then transitioned it so it would then go to Daisy's eyes in the cellar. Also a few people said that the part which they were most fond of, was the very first bit when a girl walks past the poster and the whole shot is in slow motion. It was said that the slow motion was a great idea as it helped create a tension and it also added to the sympathetic voice over playing at the same time.
When Beth was asked what she thought was good about the opening to Daisy, she replied, that the variety of shots was very good, for example, in the park there was a horizontal pan shot, a point of view shot and a long shot. The one thing she picked up upon which could have been improved was the darkness of the cellar, as stated by Amie as well.
Overall, the feedback which we managed to collect was generally quite positive and from this my group and I felt more at ease with what we had managed to create. If I were to do this again, based on the feedback, I would make sure everything is clear to see and also, I would have added a few more types of shots and angles.
