The feedback from the exchange.

The initial impressions by the audience were good. The non-digetic music used was seen as a great piece and helped raise suspense within the film. Our narrative was also praised and was seen that it left great enigma’s. why was josh killed, who is the femme fatale and what role does she play?
The editing was also seen as good and that it kept the film in continuous flow.
Our weak areas were that one vital shot had been missed. During the film a letter is passed to Joshua and once opened, the card reads BANG to represent death for our protagonist. The shot missed was the expression on Joshua’s face when he opens it. This could have encapsulated the surprise/worried expression which could clearly indicate to the viewer that the letter would only bring something bad.
The shots used were Dutch tilts to give a distorted look after the death of Joshua. Close ups to show the characters. Long shots and other shots were used but it was felt that one of the more important ones were missed which was the expression of Joshua.
The use of mise-en-scene were praised. The use of costumes were seen as a great similarity to the film noir genre’s.
The suitability of stylistics(visuals and audio) to film noir thriller genre was seen as a positive replication of the film noir’s and has film noir stylistics.
The narrative was seen as easy to understand and that it leaves a great little enigma which is how has josh died and why?
Suitability of creating a representation of typical noir characteristics was answered as yes by everyone.
Production values and technical ability was answered as yes by everyone.
Does the work meet the brief? Everyone exclaimed that it did.
