We have had to review over our Media Coursework and remove some filming and replace it with other scenes for the genre. Although we thought that the story was convincing and sound and editing were used well, we realised that our opening lacked the suspense that a film opening needs and acted more along the lines of a trailer. To stop this from happening we have decided to include a car scene to juxtapose normal lives against that of the girl that plays the victim. Then we can see a definite contrast between the characters and have for pity for the victim.
We also think that by using this in our opening we can have the suspense of whether the victim gets in the car? and does she recognise the passengers? leaving the audience with questions unanswered and a story that could progress if it were made into an entire film.
By adding in this extra footage and changing the storyline slightly we feel it will improve our narrative and give the audience a better understanding of the storyline and a bigger feeling of suspense.
