Audience Feedback

After showing our sequence to a small audience, the feedback we recieved was mixed with both positive and negative comments.

The positive comments, stated that our editing was good, as it allowed the sequence to smoothly run between each scene. The transistions we used also added to the effect of the genre we were trying to portray, with examples such as 'Fade In' and 'Fade Out'. It was also said that our camera angles were effective, with examples such as 'Match on action' and 'Shot reverse shot'. The music, made by a group member was also quoted as 'atmospheric'. Finally, despite the fact that the acting in the sequence isnt marked on, We were told that our actors played serious roles and did a good job at keeping their roles.

The negative comments, stated that since we re-did our sequence, we were short of time, meaning there could have been much more planning that could have been done. If we were to ever do another sequence, we would keep a better time plan.

Company Logo

This is our Company Logo, which is featured at the beginning of our sequence. We got a simple countryside picture, and edited it to create a more horror-like image to relate to our genre. The name of our company, is 'Shea Productions' which is a basic name, including the surname of a group member.
