When we showed our first draft of the title sequence to our class, they gave us some feedbacks and on the feedback; everyone said they really liked how we've used the voice over and they all loved the music and everyone said that the music sinked in well with the genre and the title sequence and they loved our combination of voice over and piano music. However, few people said they would like to hear more of the voice over and they said to make the voice over longer and few said something was missing, although it sounds eerie and suits the genre.; they said we can still improve and make it better but they didn't know what it was, It was teachers turn to give us the feedback and they also said they really like the way we decided to use the voice over, however they wanted us to make the voice over sound even more echoic so it suits more with the genre and they also asked us to try add the nursery rhyme at the background and check if that sounds better.

After the feedbacks that we got we were happy that it's not a complete disaster, we just had to improve some of the stuff and we made those changes and it worked out well and we were really pleased with how the nursery rhymes and the background of the voice over made a huge difference and sounded amazing. It also links back with the missing kid and the childlike feeling through the nursery rhyme and we also added more echo in the voice over and Bethany and I decided on what echo to use to we came to a decision they we are going to use whatever we think is better and sound good and goes with the genre.

After we finished recording we had to edit it the next day, so we uploaded the voice recording and it sounded good but it didn't sound as eerie as we were expecting and we realised this when Bethany was editing. So, as a group we decided to add an echo to it so it will sound as eerie and distorted as its supposed to be, so that it matches with the genre and gives the audience this feel that something bad is going to happen. The voice over was just for the beginning to attract the audience and to keep them captivated for the rest of our film, we decided that we can't just have voice over for rest of our title sequence, so we planned on adding some sad music to create the atmosphere that would still be as eerie and disserted but also be quite sad and emotional so that the audience can understand and feel what our protagonist is feeling. So we added a light piano music which was slow pace and quite sad, which allows the audience to connect with the characters.

So from where I left on our group deciding to do voice over. This is what happened; we decided to record Charlotte for the voiceover. Then we recorded Charlotte saying few line from the Grimms tale of Hansel and Grettel. Well I wasn't present in that day so I don't really know what happened but I did know that Charlotte was going to do the recording. However, when I came in the next day I asked Bethany on how the voiceover went and how they did it, so she told me that they used the voice recording microphone equipment and they were undeceive on what to record but eventually they decided to record few lines from the tale Hansel and Grettel as this is was about missing boy so it matched with our title sequence.

We were influenced by Gone Girl. In this title sequence the sound /audio is mostly silent, however the music that is used sinks really well with the genre and we can hear the voice over in the begging , and it comes across as quite eerie and dark, like I said it matches with the thriller genre. As we was highly influenced by Gone Girl, we wanted to create a similar sound effect with out title sequence. Therefore, we decided we are going to have a voice over for our title sequence as well.
