I generally think that these comments reflect my own opinions about our thriller. For example, the music we chose was intended to create a weird, creepy mood in order to reflect the idea that something is not quite right. The comments highlight our choice of music and how it is successful in creating tension throughout the sequence. This was essential to our thriller, as the actual mise-en-scene of our thriller was particularly 'scary', and didn't necessarily conform to the common conventions of thrillers. This to some extent made our thriller original, in that it wasn't a stereotypical thriller. Many of the comments related to our use of editing and the change in speed of the editing throughout the opening sequence. This was intentional on our behalf, in order to gradually build suspense, as was obviously effective in doing so. Many of the comments also commented on our use of opening credits. We deliberately chose the font we did, as we believed that it created a sleek, professional-looking finish, which succeeded in making the video look professional.
