What we are going to do after we have recieived the feedback

With the idea that the flashbacks we have in the opening sequence being short I think we should follow this through. I think this because there is a risk, if the flashback is longer that it may be cheesy. An example for us to follow was give, this being that in 'The Road' there are flashbacks of a husband and wife together playing the piano and their hands meet as they are playing the piano. This shows that they are together and in love but does not make it cheesy as it is not anything that seems too over the top. I think we will take this idea on but changing the setting - perhaps with them playing the card game 'snap' and their hands meet that way. This would show that they are young because they are just having a laugh playing 'snap' as it is not really a serious card game. It would also show that they are together without them having to obviously kiss as this may look cheesy. Other feedback to go with the flashback scenes included not having any diagetic sound. I think this would be much more affective than having the characters speaking because this may ruin the atmosphere and if the flashback's are going to be really quick then there would not be enough time to have any diagetic sound that would give the audience any information.

We were given the idea that when the ex boyfriend is creeping up on the girl when she is trying to get signal on her phone to make the ex walk very slowly. This would create suspense as the audience have the information that something bad is going to happen, but the girl character herself does not have a clue. I think this would work and we should make the ex walk very slow behind the girl because it would make it look like he really does not want her to see him before he can capture her. This tells the audience that she would have a very bad reaction, suggesting that he may take her. Suspense is also a very conventional aspect to thriller films so this would be following convention and would make the title sequence much more exciting to watch as there is some mystery in the fact that the audience do not quite know what is going to happen to the girl.

We were not sure about whether we should have a point of view shot to show that the ex is watching the girls camping. But from getting feedback and suggesting this I think we should definitely do this as this is a convention of thriller films so we would be following convention. It would also make it completely clear to the audience that the ex is posessive and really wants her back in the way that he is not meant to be there so he is having to spy on her. to be even close to her. I think this would add much more suspense too with the fact that the audience know that someone is watching the girls but the girls have no idea.
