Thriller Opening - Feedback

Before finalising the editing of our final piece we sought the feedback of a number of people, some taking media studies, some not. We met a lot of praise such as:

"The camera shots you've chosen are good, especially how its framed in the coffee shop scene."
"The music works really well. It really fits with the storyline."
"I really liked it. The sound was good and the editing was really clever. I think the story is good and I would want to see the rest of it if it was a real film."
"I like it. The endings remniscient of the Silence of the Lambs."

We did recieve a small amount of constructive critiscim and advice:

"I think the police scene is too long. The start and end is good but the middle drags on a bit."

After discussing this is a group, we decided the person was right and removed the section of the scene when the the third detective is introduced. After seeking feedback from the same person the response was vastly different:

"It's much better now you've cut it down. I'd want to see the rest of it."
