Class Feedback

After finishing editing our opening sequence we showed it to the class and had some critical feedback to improve it. The glitch edit was mentioned with two contrasting opinions , it was our intentions to make the cuts abrupt,to create the illusion of a 'glitch'. The silence was also intentional as mentioned in my Glitch Edit blog post, this is mainly because it heightens the tension and again shows Lucy's state of mind. The ambiguity of the Lucy walking on her own arises questions as to why she is alone , This hopefully will keep the audience hooked and watch on to find out answers.
Abbie mentions that Helin is seen at the party and outside of the door. This was completely intentional, because it isn't supposed to be in the same time frame. The clip of Lucy walking through the party and the the next clip of her walking through the door are not continuing into each other, this is why we did not film a continuous clip of her walking through the party to her walking through the door.

                                                  Time difference between the two

This meaning Lucy was not on her way to the door, she was just walking through the party.This giving Helin time to walk down and wait outside. Introducing Helin as an ambiguous character also leaves the audience to question themselves as to who she is.

Yazmin mentions that when Lucy says "I need your help" the sound is muffled and sounds as if it filmed inside (which it was) and she doesn't think it sounds realistic and advised us that we should re-record the sound outside. We re-recorded it outside and it sounded a lot better so we edited it in. we decided that the breathing should increase after she says "I need your help" to increase intensity.
