Response to Rough Cut Feedback

some of the feedback was useful, and we can understand why people may say the things they did. for example a number of people commented on the 'swing scene' and how it was difficult to understand what was going on. this is probably true but it was incredibly hard to film it as no one was on the camera, both people were in the scene and the tripod was unattended.

however some of the feedback we received we did think was unfair. for example that the titles were amateur compared to footage and the fade outs didn't work. we thought this was unfair because both of these aspects, our grop believed added to the effect. we suppose it is just a matter of opinion.

i think the most important thing now to focus on is to make it more understandable to others.

Rough Cut Feedback

Positive:

Editing -
-A good use of a variety of shots

Camerawork -
-A good range of shots.
-The running shots are very good as they are disorientating
-Shot behind tree is very professional
-Good use of tripod & hand held camerawork

Sound -
-Very mood setting
-Good music

Mise En Scenc-
- Its good as its in a rural open space, which sets the scene and gives the edge that she doesn't have any escape.
-The setting and shadows look good

Narrative-
-Acting was good. Was believable



Negative:

Editing-
-Title font could be more interesting.
-Black screen isn't interesting
-Try overlapping titles to the film footage.
-Titles look amateur compared to the footage. Because the footage has a faster pace.
-Would look more effective with quicker transitions
-Don't use the word "starring"

Camerawork-
-Frame of strangling isn't clear enough

Sound-
-Sound of heartbeat isn't in sync with the footage
-You could tell when It changed as the music didn't overlap.
-Fade out heartbeat and consider holding it for longer to give it variation.
-Soundtrack is slightly repetitive.

Mise En Scene-
-More establishment of the play area and setting is required
- Location could do with more establishing (but is a good idea overall)

Narrative-
-Some shots not totally clear
-Slightly confusing
-Would have been nice to have had a slightly visible perpetrator of the toucher and chase.
