Today I showed the first draft of 'Paranoia' to a group of friends, who are part of my target audience. Their initial reactions were excellent, they said that they enjoyed the acting and the special effects. Most importantly they were intrigued by the storyline. I'm estatic because I successfully created the engimatic storyline that I intented to create. I recieved some great and insightful feedback which has inspired me to make some changes.
I'm going to add a V.O at the beginning of the opening scene. I'm going to throughly think about how I can approach this V.O in terms of delivery and my choice of words, since these two factors can reflect Brian's psychological state.The aim of this V.O is to stimulate their imagination and curiousity, in other words however brief, I want an emotional response from my audience. By getting my audience to feel uneasy and confused, it will efficiently set the paranoid tone and mood that I want my audience to understand.
One of my friends suggested that the dialogue didn't seem natural and as a result the interaction between the characters didn't seem authentic. I'm glad that he made this point because I will take this into account when I shoot the rest of my footage. I'm going to research and use the internet, to find warm up techniques that are used by actors to make their delivery appear more natural.
