Audience Feedback



"Use of music was done very well and a lot of suspence & tention created in the right places, making it overall a very successful piece, well done, very nice story line :)"

"Very good looking piece, fantastic idea, clearly the best I've seen in the Hurtwood Media Collection. Editing slides very nicely and music fits perfectly to create a very dramatic and tense edge. Very good use of casting as well.  However the lighting should have been brighter as some of the shots were hard to see. The accent of the actress also caused some confusion. You should be very proud of this piece. Well done."

"Fantastic work, really great shots, especially at 1:01, the editing made the story flow easily and the story really gripped me the whole way through. Great work!"

"Careful use of mise-en-scene, especially in the kitchen scene - the childrens board and pictures - this really creates the illusion that they are a couple with young children. The sound used at the beginning and end creates a theme music which works well with the sequence. Overall, a good opening sequence, succesful in creating the suspense, particularly with the use of a shower, which is a common thriller convention. Good work :)"

The reviews show that overall, the piece was enjoyed greatly. Due to it being an original and fresh idea. However after reading one of the comments, describing how the accent of the actress was a problem, we knew this when we started. But we wanted to portray an image of how she was a foreign woman who was only with her husband for money. Her accent made her seem more mysterious as well, conforming to a stereotype and being relelvant to the sequence. Although if I could go back I would perhaps brighten some of the shots, as the audience is not able to see all the mise en scene and smaller details within the shots.
