Concerns from the rough cut sample

Having showed three of our teachers the rough cut of our film opening, their opinions have varied mainly positive. However there are some concerns such as the length of the film, the genre and the title change.

Time length:
Dan and Usman have both considered our film as short but can be worked with when adding title sequences by extending them. Right now our film is 1min 20 seconds and it is required to be maximum 2 minutes so we have a lot of spare time to use. Whereas Mary agrees with us that we definitely need to go out and film more footage because we have a great film opening but it is just too short. Hence we have decide to film Tuesday morning, tomorrow.

Genre:
Again our genre is meant to be a psychological thriller however our teachers, having watching our rough cut have said that it is becoming a bit out of context of a psychological and looks/has more horror elements making them consider our genre as maybe being a horror thriller. However we have explained our storyline to Mary - which is focused on the girl's disturb and her journey through the mental illness - and she has seen that it can be then said to be a psychological thriller, with some elements of Horror, and so we can stay with this initial genre.

Title Change:
We as a group have decide that we feel to change our title. At first it was called 'Shanelle' but due to changes of the girl and putting the actual name to what we have edited it just did not fit. So we decided it was for the best to change it. Asking Mary for her opinion on this we finally came up with a new name called 'Untarnished'.
