Music: at first, we chose not to have music in the background of our first scene but after some consideration we decided to add music to our bedtime story scene in order to represent a more soft, child-like environment and felt that we needed an extra part of mise-en-scene in order to create a warmer atmosphere. It also juxtaposed the other parts of our opening as it has a more innocent sense to it unlike Blake's scandal.
The hook: the ending of our opening was not entirely suspenseful because of this we decided to add a threatening phone call using a clip of a phone and an voiceover which extends our use of misé-en-scene. This portrayed a more sinister ending and leaving the audience with a different emotion creating more tension. We decided to use a voicemail instead of a interactive phone call, this left Blake unaware of what was happening next. This leaves the audience with a sense of dramatic irony as they know a piece of information that the characters don't.
Reflective post with evidence of changes and edits made after feedback, resulting in improved audience engagement and creation of suspense. The addition of the phone call certainly leaves the audience with the impression that the husband's threats are life-threatening. You note the dramatic irony, with the audience in possession of facts that the characters do not know. The addition of Brahm's Lullaby contributes significantly to the sense of domestic security.
