Group: Rough Cut and Feeback

Rough Cut feedback

We showed our rough cut to the rest of the class in order to obtain feedback and collect ideas on how we could improve on our production. The main points that we considered from the feedback were that we needed to use a sound mix on the ambient sound throughout some of our clips as they felt it was too loud in some places. They also said that it would be nice to include a sound track throughout the first half of the film when the character is walking through the woods as this would help to build tension. As a group, we already knew that we would have to work on this but it was good to receive feedback in understanding that a soundtrack was needed over the clips.

From the feedback, the class said that we should shorten the length of the clips that aren't integral to the plot in order to make the story line much clearer. This was useful as we were able to have an idea on what clips were needed to be shortened. They also said that the jib shot when the character enters the building should be shortened because the camera becomes unsteady and the shot is prolonged. They also concluded that the sign that is featured in the jib shot is not relevant and so we should cut the clip just before the sign in featured. Finally, from the audience feedback we were able to understand that we should shorten some of the clips that features unrealistic acting. An example of this is when the character is in the chair whilst the antagonist is walking round him with the knife in his hand.
