From my findings i have came to the conclusion that our Thriller opening was a success, there are some issues in our work however that our audience discovered. Everyone in my audience understood the plot of my Thriller opening. However 2 people thought that the plot was not good. This may be because we may have made the plot of the film too simplistic and cliche, so it does not really break the mold. However our film probably would still be a success as the majority said they would like to see the rest of the film, this showed that our film still had potential. I was pleased to realise that the majority thought that the music we used was of sufficient quality as I thought the piece of music used really suited the theme of my Thriller opening. I was also pleased to know that only one person thought the setting for our opening was unsuitable, this is because I thought the transformed city method used in my setting was very effective. The thing that my audience thought should have been improved the most was the effects. I agree with this as I feel that very little effects were used in our opening sequence. The majority enjoyed our opening overall which is good because it shows we reached our target audiencel.
