ROUGH CUT 5

Below are our changes made after receiving feedback on our fourth rough cut

- Isolated bells for the audio-bridge
- Changed linking words for all titles to a sans-serif font to highlight names
- Made titles less stretched out 
- Changed wording (title convention), shows main producer and co-producers, as well as removing "distributed by" as it's not conventional wording for titles
- Added foley sound for opening shots
- Merged both mine and Sasha's names in order to have one director credit
- Added a fade to the titles so they don't appear as suddenly
- Isolated titles and credits 
- Added forest foley sound and snapping 
- Removed ELS of Marion screaming at the tree (comic effect creating an oppositional reading)
- Kept phone ringing and changed audio levels 
- Removed burial scene 
- Added slo-mo on final screaming shot
- Added water drips and static to the main title
- Removed second written and directed credit (was meant to be added in initial titles)
- Removed "the next day" from locker scene
- Edited locker scene lighting 



Here is the written feedback we received from the other media students: 

- Opening bells are too loud
- Make hand of god foley sound quieter
- Linking words are still too large
- Fade Friday The 13th music
- Start the titles from the opening 
- Remove cigarette shot (verisimilitude broken as she breaks it)
- Makeup and costume should be separately credited
- Titles should be smaller
- Make sure all titles are identical (size, font, tracking, spacing)
- Slow running more
- Remake foley sound of footsteps 
- Turn down noises of the birds, sounds like the middle of the day
- Add more sounds to main title
- Add movement to main title
- Play scream over main title
- Cross-cut "Norman" screaming with burial scene shots
- Add a fade to black at the end
