First Cut

 Our first cut shows a basic outline of the entire movie. The props we used were picked and created to really capture the horror genre and how it started out (Gothic locations and themes). We definitely need to create a better opening shot to the scene instead of it starting on a zoom and this will allow the audience to know where they're starting when viewing this opening.

Audience feedback

1. As the soundtrack plays over the entire opening, we were advised not to do that and to add dialogue and sound effects at points such as; the opening of the book at the very start as the movies title appears on screen, and at the pair of scissors cuts down the camera it would be a good idea to have a attacking effect or a person/animal crying for help at it falls. 
2. A voice over is needed, to help build the narrative of the movie and to not make it look like a trailer for the movie, because at the current point it looks like a trailer for the movie which isn't showing enough to qualify it as a opening sequence. 
3. Advise on the transitions used were given also. The idea of having different effects and transitions to help jump from cut to cut were favoured over allowing a simple cut separating the different shots.
