Teacher Feedback for Film Opening

Rough Cut

What needs to be done before the final deadline - Plan.

Our group has decided to film everything again from the start. We are instead going to try waking instead of running in the dream scene, and will be adding in sleeping scenes to make it clear to the audience it is a dream. We also need to edit in our production company and credits throughout the film opening.

The film opening will be mainly focused around the dream now, as in the second scene there was too much dialogue and bad acting skills, this would have bought our overall grade down. In addition to our rough cut, we have thought about changing many different shot types as they make the over film opening boring. We will look at a range of different shot types to add more suspense to the project.

Audience Feedback

Today we had an initial screening, where we watched all the other groups film openings and they saw ours. After watching them we told the groups what went well and what needed improvement and vice versa.

From this activity we have collected audience feedback. The audience said that the music went well with the dream scene as it was very fast paced. However, they said that we needed much improvement.

They suggested that we added in some sleeping scenes to make it more clear that the character was having a dream. They also suggested that we take out unnecessary objects in the backgrounds of different scenes as we would be graded lower on our framing. As we have nit completed a rough cut, the audience also said it was difficult to suggest improvements.
