Once we had completed our 'rough cut' for our opening, we then all down together (the class as a whole) and watched the rough cuts individually to get feedback on what was working and what wasn't. As a group we decided on three questions that we wanted to ask the whole group as critical feedback. Our three questions were based on issues that we had already discovered about our thriller opening:
1. It is evident that our opening is quite confusing; do you think that this is a good thing or is it too hard to understand?
2. We've been having difficulties figuring out where the credits should go. Whats your opinion?
3. Do you think the different shots work changing from black and white to colour?
ROUGH CUT THRILLER OPENING:
Feedback:
1. 'It doesn't seem to be that confusing. It's obvious that the character is going to do something bad (commit suicide) and is having flashbacks of something that has happened. But we don't know what she is narrating on which makes us want to watch it even more.'-Nick
'I think it's good that it's not very understandable because thats what the openings are for'- Kim
2. 'It would look good if you added the credits as part of the background because you don't want to take the attention away from the intreguing storyline. Maybe a more floaty font will look good aswell'-Jake
3. 'The black and white does look good because it emphasis' that it's a dream; but you should either add black and white to all of the flashbacks bits or make it look more gloomy by adding shadows and stuff'-Joe
Teachers Feedback: You need to add in the music, credits and sounds effects. Make the editing alot sharper and snappier and try to shorten some of the clips so it doesn't drag along too much. Having more consistant effects will make the mise en scene alot more interesting and watchable.
Feedback Response:
We found this feeback very useful and constructive so after this seesion, we made a 'to do' list:
- Finish making flashback scenes black and white and then go back and darken the scenes alot more. This is to add more emphasis on the dark flashbacks the suicidal character is having.
-Add in the credits into the background of the bathroom scenes after trying out different types of fonts and colours on the scenes.
-Make and add in the music (from garageband) and compliment this with sound effects.
-Try and cut down each section as much as possible, trying to overall remove 30 seconds of film.
-Add in more voiceovers so it doesn't cut out and a random point.
