The feedback was an important part of our film-making, we felt that it was best to get unbiased responses from the group that we screened the opening to. We felt that this would help our team to either re-edit parts of the movie for a better viewing experience, and also if we achieved the outcome that we desired. For us it was not just about quality in regards to how clear the picture may have seemed, but if we were able to create tension. With some viewers they preferred the X-ray edited effect, rather than the black and white effect, we did feel that the latter effect did not really work, however we gave it a chance with first screening. Clearly this was not preferred, so we chose to change the style here. All in all, we are pleased with the comments, we could not address all concerns, as we were restricted by time, and schedules clashing to organise re-filming or re-editing.
Sabah Sarwar - Opinion on Opening
Like I’ve said before I think that the overall final film was very professional and had showed clear evidence that the directors knew what they wanted. As a result of the passion and commitment they had, resulted in them producing a very good film. I prefer the effect that they have used this time round rather than the black and white version they produced.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I was. I would gladly sit in a cinema watching it as I don’t think I will get bored.

Tips that we could use next time
Choose a different ending such as when the boy jumped over as it went too slow.
Sonia Ahmed - Opinion on Opening
I think personally I liked the first version better because of the black and white effect. I didn’t like the way the credits came because of the constant used in it. I liked the sounds used such as the heartbeats.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I was. If the x-ray thing wasn’t there and left it black and white, then I would go to watch it at the cinema.

Leave it as a cliff-hanger at the end and put the film name in and that is when the film starts.
Husaam Hussain - Opinion on Opening
Overall I think it was a good production for the final draft. The production logo was the improvement from the draft and it has fitted in to the opening scene well. The camera work seemed pretty professional and the background music suited the scene.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I was satisfied if they had changed the colour back to how it was before when it was black and white.

I think that next they should keep the colour of the flashback scenes in black and white.
Umar Hussain - Opinion on Opening
Overwhelmingly I sincerely believe the production of this opening scene has been done up to a great standard however I think that the editing for the flashback in the draft was better than the one in this final production.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I was very satisfied and if the changes I wrote were made then it would be perfect.

Tips that we could use next time
Use better and more active actors to make it more realistic such as Husaam Hussain and Umar Don Hussain.
Basil Hassan - Opinion on Opening
I think it worse than the first one. This is because it’s too much effect which makes it unprofessional. Too many effects take the tension away.

Don’t use too much of the effects.
Shabir Dogar - Opinion on Opening
I believe the final draft of ‘paranoia’ is excellent, as the opening scene is very interesting; it gets you stuck in, you want to know why this girl is running, what she did. Why she did it. The music used in the background suits the tense scene. The effects such as ‘x-ray’ are good as they catch your attention, you can’t look away. However, once again the font used for credits isn’t the best as it’s hard to read the text.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I am and would really look forward to watching that in the cinema.

I think that everything was really good apart from the opening credits as they could be clearer and bigger.
Choi Tsang - Opinion on Opening
I liked the x-ray effect because it creates mystery and suspense. I liked the transactions that happen between each clip. I now like the shot of when he puts his hand on her as it creates tension which is because of the x-ray effect. I liked the way that the different camera angles have been used.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
Yes I was because of the interesting storyline.

Tips that we could use next time
To make sure there is no people in the background and cut out the natural sounds such as the wind; it ruins it slightly.
Our Opinions
Aabidah Ali (me) – Director Opinion on Opening
Overall the final draft of the opening was good. I think that the video effect was brilliant seeing as it is meant to be a flashback; also the music went well with the scary scenes. Generally I am pleased with the outcome, seeing as we are new at being directors. The experience was frustrating at first but gratifying in the end.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
I am happy with the production.

Better equipment maybe and have the actors sign a contract so they are committed to doing the film.
Safina Rashid – Director Opinion on Opening
I think that since the draft, the production has improved very well and I think personally the x-ray effect looked better than the black and white as it looked more scary and dark. I think that the opening credits could have been a bit longer. I am in general quite pleased with the end result.
If you were satisfied (Yes/No)
I am quite happy with what the production looks like at the end and would say that I am satisfied with what I have created.

Tips that we could use next time
I think that we should next time film the shots during the time as when in the actual film it’s showed so that it matches and we can improve on how we worked the storyline to play out more so that it’s mysterious and not too complicated for the audience to understand.
