22nd April update

Having looked back over our planning, I found that our finished film differs slightly from the initial ideas we had; we originally planned to use six different girls in our film, with the ending resulting in six quick short clips of each of them with a body part marked with a "X". However, during the filming and editing process, we decided against that, instead using fewer girls and more quick clips, to disorientate the viewer, because we felt this was more effective than showing them within the first two minutes what happens in the rest of the film. This shows that whilst we did try to stick to preconceived filming schedules and ideas, we were also able to think on the spot and decide what worked and what didn't. If we were to make the rest of the film, we would have introduced the five other female characters throughout, creating suspense because the audience never knows who else is to become a victim.
Although we changed our idea during filming, I don't think this hindered us in the slightest; audience feedback has been positive for our final piece, especially those who are in the age range we were aiming it at, which I think shows we were successful.
