Overall Summary of Feedback

It was important for us to get both positive and negative feedback so that we could better our title sequence.  

To get feedback we posted our title sequence on YouTube where people could comment on the video; overall the comments we got back all praised our film knowledge at the same time they offered some criticisms on areas we could improve. One criticism we received was that when the title 'Seized' appeared it was very fast paced; we took this into consideration and after watching our title sequence back a few times we agreed with this comment therefore we chose to lengthen the time which the title appeared which we believed benefited the title sequence. 

Another way which we gained feedback from our audience is by doing a few screenings to different types of people. Our media teacher offered to do a screening to one of her Media Studies classes where she gave out some of the feedback sheets we made up. A reoccurring answer throughout the feedback sheets was that the music was in some ways annoying to listen to. Taking this into consideration we realized that a possible reason for this was that the audience the title sequence was shown to, were of a much younger age than our original predicted viewing age; therefore they may not have appreciated the effects of the composition on both the pace and emotion of the title sequence. One more issue we found from analysing the feedback sheets was that the genre of the film was being mistaken for a 'Horror' rather than a 'Crime'. Although this mistake could be due to the fact that more is revealed to do with the genre throughout the film rather than within the first few minutes of the opening titles. 

Finally we showed our title sequence to one of our media teachers as we were happy with the final product. Unfortunately we had failed to complete research into the format in which the titles appear in a title sequence. After viewing some more title sequence we had realised the directors name always came at the end of the opening credits. Ourselves -being unexperienced title sequence creators- placed the directors name first in the credits. We decided to change this mistake we had made to make our title sequence more professional in the format which the titles appear.
