Response to Audience feedback
1. As some of the scenes came across quite comical we have tried to add as many cut away shots to the killer or chase to try and break up the scenes and keep it as realistic and true to the slasher genre as possible.
2. Feedback said that the stalk scene was effective but we thought the chase scene needed more work. A lot closer editing is being done to make it as frantic and panicked as possible.
3. As we start to experiment with sound we are concentrating on the chase scene as this is one we think will benefit the most from effective music. To try and create suspense we plan
4. To try and make the killing scene be more fast paced and frantic we have been experimenting with layering so we are also then constantly showing the groups reaction to the scream. By doing this it is creating more of that quick slasher style killing. It also helps show not too much fake blood, to keep the scene looking as realistic as possible.
5. We have been looking at films such as Psycho to get inspiration for the sound over our killing scene and we have made a decision that the most effect way to approach this would be strings and similar dramatic techniques. This is a clear signifier of what is happening and adds a lot to the suspense and sudden shock of the killing.

Audience Feedback
- As Alys was in the opening. she found some of the group scenes quite funny.
- Daisy though that the group shots looked fairly realistic, and was able to tell the roles that each character was meant to be playing.
- both Daisy and Alys though that the stalking scene was effective
- but the chase could be improved slightly
- the whole stalking would be more effective and scarier with sound/music.
- When they were watching the killing scene, they thought that the blood looked realistic and the fast paced editing made the killing more frightening.
- the killing would be improved a lot when we add sound.

MJ - Costumes
In our slasher opening there are a total of 5 characters. We chose costumes which we thought would suit the characters and their roles best.
Ashley: Scream Queen
Black jeans - the scream queen wore black jeans to show a contrast between her and the final girl character, who is wearing more traditional blue jeans
White vest top - we thought that the scream queen should wear a white, revealing vest top to signify her character's personality.
Black boots: the scream queens boots are unsuitable for walking in the woods, again showing her personality and role as the scream queen.
Charley: Final Girl
Plaid shirt, buttoned up to the collar - the final girl is wearing a plaid shirt which is buttoned up to the top to show that she is not trying to be provocative. The shirt is more practical than it is fashionable.
It also shows a contrast to the scream queen who is wearing a low cut vest top.
Blue jeans - we though that the final girl should be wearing blue jeans to show a contrast between her and the scream queen who is wearing black, more fashionable jeans.
Hair in pigtails - we thought it would be a good idea to have the final girl wear pigtails to show that she is innocent.
Glasses - the final girl is wearing glasses to make her look more intellectual.
Brown boots - look like sturdy well made boots that would be classed as appropriate for walking in the woods.
Bag - She is the one in the group having the sensible responsibility of carrying the bag, and is happy to do so.
Patrick: Outsider
baggy jeans - Doesn't care about his image very much, comes across as not wanting to be fashionable and might be purposefully doing this so he isn't associated with the group.
unfashionable jacket - This anchors the point about his jeans.
Ryan: Scream Queens boyfriend/Jock
sports hoodie - He cares a lot about his image and tries to match what he thinks is socially acceptable and what his 'jock' friends would wear.
jeans - the jeans that the jock are wearing are trendier in contrast to the Outsider of the group.
trainers - his trainers show how he thinks that wearing branded trainers will change what other people think of him and how popular what he wears will make him. This suggests he is very self obsessed.
