Rough Cut Feedback
1) Titles: good effects and consistent to the film genre Sound: good following the genre Shot Variety: more still shots but more varieties
2)Re shoot the bruise sequence make it smooth and distinct
3) Good effective sound to fit genre, titles good
4)Couldn't understand first part (voice over) - good though
Good use of handheld as it is building up suspense
More happening - confusing when she is strung up
Good font
5)Good creepy sounds,
I think it needs to be a lot faster paced to add suspense
Good handheld moments
Needs to be more obvious shot in the flashback - use a bigger flash
6)A bit longer - bruise
A bigger flash, fade in/out
Fonts awesome
7)Good sound and titles (font)
Jumpy and shaky on some shots
Matched conventions well
By taking each of these comments into consideration we have been able to improve our opening sequence by doing the following things: we firstly decided to make the voice at the beginning louder so it was easier to understand then we decided to re shoot the bruise scene to make it stand out a lot more. We then altered the flash to link to actual flashback. Two scenes were added - the chair and the map scene which related to the sequence and helped viewers understanding of the sequence and what will follow. In addition we made some of the sounds used more accurate and realistic to the theme for example making the crow sound quieter as it wouldn't be that loud in real life.
Using all of these changes we think that our final cut is successful and the best we could make it for the time we had.

9 sequence analysis of Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Dream Master
In the first screen shot, the Production logo has been revealed. The second screen shot shows a quote from someone which makes the audience realise what type of genre this movie will be. The third screen shot says who produced the film. The fourth screen shot is a claw mark that shows that the film will be about something vicious. There is music in this scene which may shock the audience. The scratch reveals the colour red which reminds people of blood, this whole scene signifies danger. This shot then fades into the fifth screen shot which shows the title of the film. There is two fonts being used here to create an effect and the words Dream Master are in blue. This may be because dreaming is associated with night time and the sky is mainly blue. The sixth screen shot is a close up shot of a floor, this follows into the seventh screen shot which reveals a child's hand. A child is normally considered as an innocent being, so to have a part in a horror film at the beginning is quite intriguing. The eighth screen shot is of a child drawing a house. This is shown through a birds eye view, as the actor/actress' name appears n the screen. The font colour is in deep red which signifies blood. The final screen shot shows the house that the child was drawing only that it was raining and everything has became darker. This has changed the mood effectively into a dull eerie place to be, not somewhere were you would like to venture into. The final credits appear for the last time in this sequence and as before they are in a deep colour red which reminds the viewers of blood.
