Very atmospheric. I like the fact it included indoor and outdoor filming. I liked that it set the scene well for the rest of the film. I also liked how dramatic it is. The use of music, it gave it an eerie feel and kept me interested. It is eye catching, due to the religious imagery.

Really well, the music really added to the suspense. The scenery really helps also the music, helps accentuates the theme. And the colour of the title. The setting, the music and burning candles.

- 7. Question 5 Does our studio logo and name ‘Grave Productions’ work well with our film genre, if so how? Response 1 Response 2 Response 3 Response 4 Response 5 Yes, because it ties in well with the graveyard and church setting. Yes, it does so very well. It adds to the overall image. Yes it does. The fact that it was in a church and graveyard makes the logo fit very well. The image used obviously works well, due to the fact it is a gravestone and the film is shot in a church location. This is also mirrored in the title ‘Grave Productions’. The grave have connotations of mourning and death, this are two aspects which also link to the horror genre.
