2. Q1
Yes - 26
No - 4
Reasons:
-They don’t distract the
audience that much
-They’re boring

that they were placed in a
specific place to create
emphasis n the action e.g.
When baddies foot goes
down under bus.
3. Q2
Yes - 28
No - 2
Reasons:

bus place at night
- its seems random

especially at night.
4. Q3
Yes - 21
No - 9
Reasons:
-It builds up tension

stronger music at the scary
parts like when the guy
gets suffocated

that scared.

5. Q4
Yes - 12
No - 18
Reasons:
-Confused
- isn't he dead if he got
suffocated?

- There isn't a clear shot of
the guy who got suffocated
but its kind of common
sense since you can tell
from the florescent jacket
6. Q5
Yes - 25
No - 5
Reasons:
-It helps explain what is
going on
- good acting as the guy
looks terrified seeing the
baddie

dialogue is only in a small
part of the beginning of
the film so your putting
audience on the edge
7. Q6
Yes - 28
No - 2
Reasons:
- you know when they
have a conversation and
he says ‘old friend’

though that old friends
would see each other in a

other and have history
together

Too little - 8
Reasons:
-There’s enough info as its
just the beginning of the
thriller
- it’s unclear what will
happen in the duration of
the film

the film
- there's obviously more to
happen so I think there's
enough information as
there will be more in the
rest of the film
11. Q10
Yes -2
No - 28
Reasons:
-perhaps the camera could
have been better
focused, but the slight not
focused gave it a more
mysterious effect

stronger to make it easier
to see in the dark
