Overall, this feedback shows that our consideration of sound was good and that it had a positive effect on the film. There was a general feel from verbal feed back that the viewers understood what was happening, but may not have fully. However, this is common for an opening as it is meant to encourage questions and encourage the viewer to continue watching. However, it seems that the use of titles was not as well received as we would have hoped. In hinds sight, we could have made some of the clearer, for example the title shown on the bottle of pills could have been written and bigger. We could have also have shown them for longer. One comment showed that our opening was monotonous, which we hoped would have been resolved through the fast paced editing and turn of events seen. To overcome this, we could have shown Harry going about various aspects of his life or introduced other character, even briefly.
