2) ROUGH CUT

After we had filmed, we created a rough-cut version of the opening and previewed it to our class. We gained good feedback from this such as trimming down the duration of some of the shots. This helped us to make final improvements to our opening before the final cut screening.

Here is our rough cut:

3) FINAL CUT

When showing the final product, we distributed questionnaires to a small audience which asked them about many things including what they thought of the special effects we used, the soundtrack and also the choice of location.

Our audience feedback was predominantly very good. Many people were impressed by the use of CGI and the soundtracks. Also, a lot of people thought that the opening built up a lot of tension, which was sustained and created a cliff-hanger effect at the end. The main piece of constructive criticism we received was that the infected person who appears in the opening did not have realistic make-up, which we also agree with, and feel that we could have spent more time researching how to create simple prosthetics and other forms of make-up to give our opening more verisimilitude.

After screening our opening sequence, we interviewed a few people to attain their initial reactions and thoughts.
