Audience response to our opening (draft & final)

The overall rewsponse was good, everyone liked the topic area (webcams). They also liked it because it was different; no dialogue or music, they all thought that it made the audience concentrate more on what they were shown than what they could hear. They liked the fact it ended on a cliff hanger and that the audience were told very little about the characters and wht happened to Tom's character. After seeing the first draft some thought some of the scenes were too lng, mainly the mid shots of Sam so we cut those down. Also the printer shots were too long and this affected the tension and suspense by slowing it down, making the audience drift away a little. We rectified this and when they watched the final version they all thought so too.
