From other groups watching the finished edit of our thriller title sequence, they gave many pieces of constructive critiscism.
Generally from the titles we received positive feedback, in that they were appropriate to the conventions of the thriller genre. The dropshadow on the titles was perceived positively, and the variation of their positioning on the shots was also liked.
The music, however received less positive feedback. It was viewed as not entirely appropriate for the genre, as it wasn't as eerie as it could have been. Although this is a valid point, the music does not have to give too much away, and draws the audience in because they are unaware of the narrative. We could have perhaps added in more classical/orchestral music to fit in with the setting of a museum.
The shots were generally viewed as good, as they were varied, however some thought that there were too many points of view, in that sometimes it was from the point of view of the woman, and other times from different angles.
The darkened windows of the setting were thought of as a good idea, in that it showed the time of night that it was, adding to the eerieness, in that night time is generally viewed as more creepy than daytime.
From watching the final video ourselves, we think that it worked out quite well, and that the varied point of view shots made it seem like someone was following the woman and watching her.
