FEEDBACK OF OUR OPENING SEQUENCE FROM OUR CLASS, 2 MEDIA TEACHERS, AND OUR TARGET AUDIENCE.

We got positive feedback, and that was the main success. understood the camera shots, location and the lighting as well. 

There were however, areas for improvement. 

These consist of ...

1. Not adding any music into the background for effect.
2. Not adding any credits at the beginning or end of the opening sequence.
3. Putting the volume of the glitch effect too high

We had taken all of this into account, and it is all sorted and adjusted. 

Also, the idea was to mix British people into the American society. We were not trying to replicate the American citizens, but had clearly stated that there were 2 British enthusiasts, visiting a place in LA. ... 

(LATER ON IN THE OPENING SEQUENCE) 

Two British Vloggers presumed dead in LA.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE SAID...

• It was quite good. (15 and 16 year olds)
• It was quite good, but looked like a trailer. (17 year olds)
• It was good but credits and music needs to be added on. Also, there was not enough suspicion and fear. This was coming from a year 13 media student, so we were really grateful that we got this advice given to us. 

OUR 2 MEDIA TEACHERS SAID...

• Add more footage of the vloggers.
• Fix the production title because it is too bright.
• Show less of the news presenter, and more of the 2 vloggers, because the presenter is eliminating the suspicion and fear.
• Fix and re-adjust the scaling so that the balcony can not be seen.
• Make sure that the lighting continues to get darker as your step into the apartment room.
• The film reminds them a little bit of a trailer.

We have definitely taken on board all these constructive criticism improvements, and have already finished our entire opening sequence. All of the feedback was very helpful because it helped us realise our strengths and weaknesses. Also, the opening sequence looks much better now, as all the improvements have been made.

We are very grateful for all the advice that has been given to us.
