Rough cut of NEUROSIS

This is a rough version of our film, not including music. We decided to make a rough cut and put it on youtube.com to gather people's reactions to the film so that we could make any improvements in terms of the camera shots, angles, costume etc. which would help make the narrative and the concepts of a psychological thriller clearer. These are the questions we asked people to answer in their comments:


1. does the male look sinister?
2. is it clear that he is following the female?
3. can you rate it out of five for how clear the story line is (5= great and 1=poor)
4. does it suggest that the female is vulnerable
5. any other strengths or weaknesses?

The comments we received are below the clip.

In general most people seemed to think Horatio was sinister, or that there was something not right about him. Most people also seemed to think that Mia was vulnerable. Some people said that they didn't realise Mia was vulnerable until they saw the pictures at the end of the film, however this does not seem like a big issue, as it means the opening two minutes still gives hints that Mia is the victim and Horatio has a sinister element to him, meaning we conveyed what we had orginally aimed to convey after all.
