Applying Feedback to Editing

When we first showed a rough draft of our first bits of footage, as well as our proposed storyboard, the feedback was to add in more elements of violence, and too have the story focus on physical and mental abuse, rather than just mental abuse alone. 
Following this we looked at the trailer for the 2011 British drama film Tyrannosaur, as the story focuses on a violent male, played by Peter Mullen, as well as a physical abusive relationship between the actors Olivia Colman and Edie Marsan:

The trailer only suggests at the abusive relationship within the story through building up shots of violent actions, quick editing, the dull colour palette, make up and dark lighting.

Therefore, after watching this we added in more shots that suggest at the abusive relationship, as well as the violence from the character Tom. We also changed the script for our voiceovers to add in more sympathy for the character of Alex, as well as to create her to be more vulnerable in comparison to Tom:
