I decided to get audience reactions and feedback on our film from 3 girls (one who did not want her face to be shown on camera). From the reactions, I could tell that they did jump a few times as they found the film scary.
From one of their reactions, when it is the next day when Mila wakes up and goes to work, she asks if it's the same thing from which I interpreted that she might have thought it was the scene repeating or maybe that she's going out for work again, which is our preferred reading. However the other girl had got the narrative and knew that it was different and Mila was going outside for work again. What I could do to improve this is t add time codes when Mila wake up and goes to work so that they are not confused.
From the questions I asked, the audience really liked the film and also the music and sounds that were used. They said that they found it hard to understand the narrative at first but then got the narrative at the end of the film, which is our preferred reading as our narrative is restricted and the audience aren't mean to know that Mila is the killer at the end of the film.
They also got the fact that we tried to implement the flashbacks of the bullies as nightmares but then it became clearer that in fact they were not dreams but were real.
They also really liked the editing and could see that we did not conform to traditional stereotypical representations of our characters.
