Do you feel that the music used fits the action genre in the appropriate places?
The music is fast and fits the action genre well. However, when the music is supposed to advance into the next tune, there is no start-up and the tune just suddenly 'starts'.
Yes.
Yes. It builds up tention and thereofre fits the genre.
Do you feel that the music used was fitting to the scene in the opening sequence?
I think the music was fitting, except the first tune which sounded like a thriller rather than action. Apart from that, it gave the right mysterious and suspenseful touch to the mood in the scene.
Yes.
Yes. It creates more tention and makes it fast pace for the viewer
Did you feel that the music built up over the course of the chase scene to the tackle into the river?
No the music continued on when the climax was reached and then just slowly faded into the background.
Slightly.
Yes. This was evident and helps to enhance the building up of the action.
From the audience feedback it would seem that they thought the build up to the climax in the diegesis was not apparent. This would mean to improve we should have make the build up in the sound more obvious than how it is in the final production.

From the audience feedback we can see that the majority seem to think that the bullet effects were not realistic enough compared to other action films. This would mean that we need to improve the quality of the gun shot effects to make it more realistic and genrically conventional.

Audience Feedback Mise En Scene
Do you feel that the opening sequence had generic shots and camera movements?

Yes.
Yes.
Did you find the opening sequence appealing?
Yes it involves a lot of fast action.
Yes.
Yes because of the locations and props creating the right representations.
From the answers given in the audience feedback it would seem that the majority of the audience find that the mise en scene is generic and has the right meaning that were looking for being a sterotypical conventional action film. However one audience feedback would suggest that we need to make our shots more fast pace in the editing. This would be what we need to include, making some scenes shorter to create the effect we are looking for.

Production Log Editing
I feel like we are on schedule, but are cutting the final parts of editing very close to our own deadline.
Although it has been difficult we feel that the editing is becoming easier as we understand the programs more each time we edit footage.
Difficulties are the complexity of one of the programs making the editing process a challenge, but one we have now overcome.
The program we are using is Adobe After Effects and iMovie
The advantages of this program is that because of it being complex and professional, the editing is very good quality. However for the same reasons it has made the editing initially difficult meaning it has taken a lot longer than we hoped for. iMovie however is a nice simple program that has made editing in the credits very easy.
