The pacing

The length of the final shot of our film opening was something that was mentioned quite a lot when we were gathering our feedback. Therefore, we obviously discussed it as a group to decide if we should edit it or keep it as it is. As the main reason that came up about the length was the fact that it made them feel "uneasy". However, this is what we aimed for with out film opening as it reflects the mental state of the character and gives an insight into how she would be feeling by portraying this through the long shots and uneasy atmosphere. Also, as they felt as though they were waiting for something to happen, it builds anticipation of what is to come, which encourages them to watch on. Therefore, leaving it on this "cliff hanger" type ending, ensures that they remember this film opening and would want to watch on should it be made a full length film.
