CONSTRUCTION : FEEDBACK

MUSIC/SOUND: we first decided to have minimal sound in the opening scene of our film where Blake is reading a bedtime story to her daughter Zoey, however after some consideration and feedback we decided to add music to the background of the scene to create a more sentimental calm, child like scene. We felt that adding a lullaby to the scene would create a warmer atmosphere. It is also a juxtaposition to the other scenes in our opening as this is an innocent sweet scene however there is a drastic change as the film goes on where Blake has been caught in a scandal that is not so innocent. We thought carefully about what sound we wanted In the background as we didn't want the film to be seen as a Childs film as that is not the genre we decided to go with. 

THE HOOK: We thought that the opening of our scene was perfect however when watching back we decided that our film didn't seem enough like a film opening, we decided that we had to end it differently. We have decided to add a threatening phone call from the husband. We are going to have a very simple mise-en-scene in this scene as we thought that by the house being simplistic and empty it would add the effect of where is Blake going? what will be her next move? as this threatening voice mail comes in and plays in what was her safe space. The decision to use a voicemail instead of an interactive phone call was because we thought this would be more effective has Blake is unaware of this voice message as she is leaving her home, creating dramatic irony as they know information that the main character Blake does not.
