Film Opening First Rough Cut and Feedback

This is our group's first rough cut of our film, everything is not in the right order and has not got the right time limit on each frame to match our shot list, this is from the time of our editing process.

We did get quite a bit of feedback from our first rough cut just to see what our audience was roughly thinking about our film opening, this was the feedback we received:

Positives received:
The storyline seems quite clear in ways that the audience know what is happening, can tell by the film opening that the film is a horror, like the sounds over the top of the film opening.

Improvements:
Pictures on the wall shots are a great idea, however, they go on for too long, there are no titles in our film opening which is confusing, there are no starting logos and at the end the swing doesn't make sense at it's a child's swing and it seems to the audience that he is after teenagers/young women? Goes from dark to really light as well can be confusing.

As a group we have decided that we need to improve a great deal on our film opening. We need to: Shorten the scene with the pictures on the wall, add titles and logos to our piece and in the right order as well as, either adjusting brightness and contrast of the park scene or to decide not keep it at all.
