With our given feedback from our focus groups and the questionnaires that we asked them, we made various changes to the final film opening in order to improve it as much as possible. These changes were made after we produced the rough cut. The first change that we made was the fonts for the credits and the titles that the focus groups helped us to decide, and we also came to the conclusion that the titles would look better if they were on screen for a little bot longer, so we extended the time that they were on screen for. This would help to create more suspense for the audience as they would be anticipating what happens next; we also added a red shadow to the titles as this colour connotes danger and blood, which are both common themes in our film opening; though the blood representation is something that foreshadows what comes after the film opening because there is no specific mention of blood in the actual opening. The fade to black at the end of the titles signifies that the full film is about to start, and also the use of black connotes darkness and danger as what comes after the black is unknown.
From our audience research we also found that they thought the saturation levels in the flashback should be stronger, so this was something that we did in order to make the flashbacks more recognisable. The questionnaire also told us that the participants thought that we could add more sound into the film to increase the tension, and that this could be done by increasing the pitch of the music. So this was a change we made, as we want to create as much tension as possible. Megan and I also felt that the positioning of the credits could be better as occasionally due to the background they would disappear because they blend in. As a result we tailored each element of the credits so that it didn't go out of sight
