In order to see if our film opening would appeal to the target audience, our group asked 3 people in the 25-34 year old age bracket what they thought of our film treatment. Here are their responses:
Doug, 26 year old: "I thought the idea was interesting. Even though it wasn't an 100% original idea it would still draw me in as a film opening, and I would probably want to end up watching the rest of the film."
Adam, 29 year old: "I would have prefered it to be more of a physcological thriller, where the protaganist doesn't know if he murdered his friend or not and then that would be the mystery throughout the film. The plot for this verges on a slasher horror film. Not sure if I'd watch it."
Joe, 32 year old: "I would definitely watch it. Being as the opening minutes of the film are so tense, it would make me want to carry on watching to see what happens next. I love thrillers, so this is right up my street."
Given the feedback, we have decided to stick with our treatment. Hopefully the way that we shoot the opening should put Adam's fear of it turning into a horror film at rest, and we think that the plot is strong enough to carry a strong film opening.
After finally deciding upon all the details of our treatment, the next step is to research script writing and write a script for our film opening
