Initially Screening Blog Post #40

 Initial Screening of the Film Opener to my Family!!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. Today, I will be talking about my family's overall impressions. This will include how they felt after it, what worked, and what didn't. Ok lets get started! 

                                                     Ivan (Dad), Sofi (Sister)  , Ligia (Mom

First of all, I am going to start with their overall impressions and how they felt after watching the film opener. My dad said that the film was good since it felt "creepy in a realistic way". He also said that the acting was decent! My mom said the silence and darkness in many scenes made her feel like something bad could happen at any moment (this is actually very good since it is what we were aiming for). My sister said it made her feel tense and nervous, especially during the stalking scenes, since they seem "pretty realistic." 

Now, I will be talking about what they thought worked well! My dad said he enjoyed the cinematography, specifically the use of darkness and shadows. He said it made the Killer seem hidden and unpredictable. My mom said she liked the use of sound. I think she meant diegetic sound specifically because she said the footsteps and twig snapping made it feel real. My sister said she liked the acting, specifically Amaar. She said the scene where Kyle gets the notification was acted out very well.

Additionally, I asked them about what aspects they thought did not work as well. My dad said certain shots were a little too dark, making it hard to see at times. My mom and sister both said there could have been smoother editing in some scenes to make it look better on screen.

Lastly, I asked them if the film opener met or subverted their expectations. My dad said he expected the typical slasher opening, but was surprised by how quiet and restrained it was. My mom said the lack of dialogue subverted her expectations. My sister said the reveal of Kyle's body was effective and met her expectations.
