Changes in our Film

Following the advice for changes suggested by our audience. We have followed most of them such as changing some of the close ups of the montage pictures because some of the people in the audience felt that it was repetitive. Some of the people suggested that it would be better if the villain stabs a picture than just a close up of the victim's picture. 

We have also included a scene that happened in the past that is part of the narrative this could be distinguished by our used of the filter being the scenes that occurred in the past and the clips with the original filter represents the present. This technique was used by one of our director that influenced our film. Christopher Nolan used the exact same technique in one of his films memento where he used a black and white filter to highlight what happened in the past and no filter to what is happening in the present and he used this technique through out the whole film. 

We also extended our film opening by an extra 30 seconds this was a vital comment from our audience and was also a concern for both of us since we also noticed that the rough cut was too short. This was achieved by increasing our narrative by showing ways how people normally stalk other people. We have scenes that shows the villain calling the victim phone and this was highlighted by the name 'Call HER' in the villain's phone and the name 'Unknown' that came up in the victim's phone. We had some rejected shot of one of the scene when the villain came up to the front door of the victim. We also decided that this was the best way to increase our narrative. Because this shows a more of the narrative than the montage of pictures and would allow our audience to feel more connected and not confuse them to what is happening in the narrative.


We also toned down some of our non-diegetic sound. This was suggested by our teacher because she felt that it seems un-naturalistic.
