Narration

At first i created my project without any narration, i watched it and i knew something was missing. After showing several of my friends and people in my class, more than one viewer said the plot was a little confusing. Following this feedback i decided the opening sequence with the introduction of the couple was a bit tedious and unfullfills you whilst watching, so i incorporated narration of the main character voice saying "do you ever really know that your happy.. before its over" and "whether your the happiest man alive.. the only thing certain in life.. is that life is uncertain". This heightens the suspense and implies something is going to happen to the couple, making the plot more understandable.

I also included narration to portray the main characters feelings during the sequence where he arrives at the house to discover a DVD writ en with 'Jake.. Watch' on. Again this helps explain the plot to the audience and after showing the finished piece to other neutral viewers (on facebook and youtube) many said they liked how i left the plot on a cliffhanger with the hang-up off the unknown character and sudden loss of video. They also liked how the plot could go in many directions which leads to them wanting to watch more.

Another factor that also helps with portraying the main characters feelings is the POV shots throughout the film, expecially the one in which he is walking towards the house door to await whats inside.
