Rough Cut Feedback

The feedback that I had received from the audience when watching the rough cut were both positive and negative. We received a lot of positive comments on our use of camera stating that we had used a good variety of shots to make our story understandable. I was pleased with this because it meant that I did not have to make many changes to the story. However I did receive negative feedback on the point of view shot that showed the text message, as it wasn’t on the screen long enough for the audience to be able to read this. I didn’t mind these comments, as this could easily be made longer in editing.

I did however receive negative feedback on the sound in the opening sequence, as I had not included any sound. One of the comments stated that despite my opening sequence having potential the lack of sound made it boring. I was not pleased with these comments however after receiving this feedback I knew that to make my opening sequence successful I was going to have to include music and Incidental sounds to make it more exciting for the audience.

I also received negative feedback on the titles, as I hadn’t included any in my rough cut. This is bad as It meant that the audience would no know who this film was by etc. After receiving this feedback I knew that to make my opening sequence a success I would have to include the titles in my final cut.

I received positive feedback on my editing, as the audience were particularly pleased that my film was in black and white as it ensured that the film remained a dark Film Noir. I was pleased with this comment, as that was my overall intention for my opening sequence
