Feedback on the thriller we recieved on our first complete draft

The target audience generally found that the thriller was hard to follow with its constant flash backs and complex story line. At this point I decided that we would no longer be using the idea of flashbacks and would revert back to a more conventional and standard approach to the chase scene. Another thing that was picked up on by our target audience was that the thriller introduction may be more effective without the use of dialogue. This includes the dialogue in the final scene and as this scene was driving the thriller opening over the recommended length anyway and so was dispensable. Thirdly the dark night time setting of the thriller was brought into question. It was a huge cliche that murders happen in the night so nobody expects them in the day. I decided to challenge this convention and the members of the target audience thought it was an interesting idea.
