From my findings i have came to the conclusion that my Thriller opening was a success, there are some issues in my work however that my 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 as I may have made the plot of the film too simplistic and cliche, so it does not really break the mold. However my film probably would still be a success as the majority said they would like to see the rest of the film, this showed that my film still had potential. I was pleased to realise that the majority thought that the music I 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 my 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 my opening sequence. The majority enjoyed my opening overall.
