Editing:
With our feedback we found that the titles lasted for too long and we should have included music to help add to the genre. The continuity is slightly off because the shots move around too much and the editing pace is slow, so not much is happening. We need more transitions.

Sound:
We have a good use of diegetic sound effects and the silence is said to have been effective. A sound track could be used to carry on a narrative. Because of the lack of a sound track, some laughing is heard in the background which in future will be cut out.

Camera Work:
Our use of a point of use shot is good and we have a good range of shot types i.e. close up.

Mise En Scene:
The costume our main character uses is seen as appropriate. The lighting on the bedside table is a little too dark making the footage slightly unclear. One group felt we needed to expand our use of location though we feel this is inappropriate as this is where the scene is set, though once the credits have been put into out final cut, we will make sure it is more obvious why this location is important.

Titles:
To another group the title was unclear, this may be because it is a latin word which they are not familiar with, though we will make sure the title becomes more clear. We haven't any credits yet though will add them in in time fore the final cut.

Thriller Conventions:
The zoom into the eyes is seen as a good thriller convention, though no crime is present and no weakness is shown though we will make his weakness (amnesia) apparent in the credits. No suspense has been built up so perhaps we will be able to do this before the alarm goes off. One group was confused as to why no identity was shown though this is because it is a conventional thriller based around lost identity.
