How do you think this thriller could be made even more effective and why?
Lighting.
Could have the titles come in quicker at the end.
The lighting, the people are hard to see.
Make shooting fx more realistic in general.
The charge to the electric bit is confusing and to soon.
The end spoils it by concluding the film to briefly.
More ambient background music sounds a bit empty for opening sequence.
They dialogued too much
More shots, abit too long

-
I found that the plot went well through as we wanted it to come across, and the audience had a lot of positive response in a variety of different things that they thought were the key strength which is very good. With question 3 i do agree with some of the critic but i don't think there is too much dialogue because there has to be something to build up to the water boarding so it doesn't just come directly and gives it all away. I agree that the lighting seems a bit dim but that helps set the atmosphere, and we tried to do it as realistic as possible therefore the scene was only lit by 3 lights.
