My original voki was based on a girl of my age who enjoyed watching horror/thriller movies. This is Hanney and she has similar qualities to my voki. I showed our film opening to her and asked her some questions - this was her feedback:
- Did you enjoy this film
opening in general? Why?
"Yes I did. The title image of the film & music was dramatic and drew me in wanting to know more. The girl was dressed for the part - Made you want to know where she had been before coming home that evening."
- Did our film suit the genre
we intended? Why or why not?
"Yes it did. It was tense & suspense filled - not knowing what was going to happen next. It was filmed in a dark-ish setting which added to the atmosphere. It was quite abstract and the way it was put together gave an erie mood to the film."
- What specifically did you
like/dislike about our film opening? Why?
"The music (dramatic). The camera work being distant and then close up was good. I liked the names of those acting and being involved in making the film - Made it look proffessional as the full length film would do this. Disliked how the scenes went a little too fast but I realise time prevented the tension being built over a long period."
- Did the actors/director do a
good job? Why or why not?
Yes Chloe did. She looked the part of the good looking hollywood blonde - typically Alfred Hitchcock! She moved slowly and didn't rush, looked scared - especially when walking up to the front door and in the kitchen. She smiled a little too much - but she might smile when she's nervous? Involuntary reaction to being scared. Also the horrorman was very good as we did not see his face and was elusive.
- How could it be improved?
Why would particular changes help?
Darker lighting at times perhaps, also could include more horror rather than just one ghostly figure, eg lights going out, windows shattering or bats in the kitchen? Could have included some mystery in the house eg radio turning on, tv turning itself on etc.
- Did you feel like you wanted
to watch more of the film? Did it give suspense? How?
Yes I did. I wanted to know who the figure outside was - what he looked like - how he got in the house from the garden etc. The suspense was not knowing what was going to happen next & in that sense, the music was good. The ending was good, I wondered where she was being taken & why = suspense. Didn't know whether she fainted or was murdered, that gave good suspense.

Film Opening - 9
Film itself in totality - 9
