Within our group, we produced a rough cut of of opening sequence that would be presented. From doing this, we can gain comments and opinions from peers, which will make us better our opening sequence from taking comments on board.

Audience feedback is crucial, as we need to be aware of what they want to see and what they don't want to see and how to engage them with the narrative. From showing the peers our rough cut, we can change certain elements, based on the audience's opinion. This further links to our target audience of 15+ as our rough cut was shown to that age group. From doing this, we discover what our chosen age certificate like and dislike about our opening sequence. The audience may also gain a deeper understanding of why certain elements are added into the sequence. Fundamentally, grades can be heightened as the audience are an influence and their opinions are considered.
Presenting our rough cut means that we can discover different successes and identifies what should be kept and what she be deleted. Furthermore, this was extremely helpful as any further steps are decided if we were confused before which overall, helps us proceed in the editing process.
