Ryan Gorman and Luke Bowers have come to an agreement that we really liked your thiller opening and feel that you have listened to the feedback you were given by the other groups and have changed your thriller in a good way.
The music really suited the atmopshere of your thriller narrative and worked really well together. We thought the way your credits appeared and disappeared suited the genre perfectly also.
Overall we thought this was very very good and is a very good example of a thriller opening.
Well Done. :D

response from t1-29
Here is what we thought about your title sequence, we'll start off with the good points:
- We believed your title credits were very professional
- Continuity of the title sequence was also very fluent, and match on action was used throughout
- Good use of different camera shots for example the close up of Annabelle under the table and the over the shoulder shot in cambridge center
- The soft music gives an eerie experience
- The jump cuts of the music add to the drama
Now, the constructive criticism
- It appears that you composed your music before you had finished ordering and editing, as when the shot flicks to annabelle momentarily, the music doesn't follow timing
- The over the shoulder shot from Ryan was quite shaky
- Although there was good continuity, the weather isn't quite the same when annabelle gets on the bus to when she leaves the bus. We do understand that you only had one and a half hour slots though

Feedback from T1-25
- When using the over the shoulder shot with handheld could of been a bit more steady as it loses the viewers focus on the situation.
-The shots were framed well.
-There was a good variety of medium and long shots, with a few close ups thrown in.
-The shooting material suits the genre due to the stalker victim combo.
-The location suited when she was being stalked however when she was under the table it was incoherent. Lighting was good due to the dark room, when under the table.
-The editing worked well so it was apparent to the viewer what was happening, with straight cuts not to confuse the viewer.
-The sound was the same all the way through, which was good with the added synth sounds.
-Titles are very good, especially the one on the varnish, and the Editor one along the road, helping it blend into the scenery.

feedback from our class:
Camerawork
- nice over the shoulder shots (x2)
- clips are too long but well thought out (make them shorter)
- handheld is nice but some bits are too shaky
- really good credits
- titles fit well with designated scenes
- shorter bus scenes
- shorter scenes
- more angles
- more jumping cuts
- sudden cuts in music
- good opening music - compatible with the viewers thinking (unsure of what is going on)
- bobotronic
- change of music in same scene/location - why?
- sound is far too repetitive and random
- hoody symbolises mysteriousness
- Damsel in distress
- dark soundtrack
- mystery - dont get to see his face
- Chase
certain aspects of the feedback we disagree with such as the comment on needing more angles we feel for the length of the thriller there were enough different shots and the variety was good, we could change the length of some scenes however we felt that would affect the amount of information we need the audience to see. We agree with all the criticisms of our music, as we did not manage our time too well the soundtrack was not our final product.
