The feedback they gave us was:
•Highlight the flower - The flower behind her ear is hard to see, some people didn't notice it until the end where it was on the ground. Some suggestions they had were to put the flower on her shirt because the shirt is black and it would stand out more. Another suggestion was to do a closeup of the flower on Chantal while she is walking.

| Shot inside where the flower is barely noticeable |
•Have more shot diversity - A lot of the shots we screened were dialouge based and showed basically the same thing in a different setting. A suggestion the class had was to add a tracking shot and come closeups.

•Fix the kidnapping scene - The kidnapping scene did not give the effect of a kidnapping. The fade to black was an ineffective transition that gave the impression that she just walked away. What we originally tried to do was have the car drive by, block Chantal while still moving, and when it passes her she dissappears. The editor tried to cut this together but it wasn't smooth enough so we had to leave it out for the screening. Their suggestion was to have the car go faster then suddenly stop, this would fit better that having the car go at a crawl. Another thing was to have the flower fall before she get kidnapped instead of after and have a sound that adds to the effect. One suggestion we really liked was to add a perspective of the person in the car. For example when she is standing in the road, have a shot where we see her from the cars perspective. This can show that she is being watched by someone and it adds to our shot diversity.

Another general suggestion was to remove all the transitions which we were going to do anyways. The transitions did not serve any purpose, the editor just put it in there for screening.
With these suggestions in mind, we will reshoot at the hotel over spring break.
