G321: First Rough Cut of Opening and Feedback

This is the first rough cut of our film opening. We have recieved feedback from both our teachers and our target audience. It was important to get feedback at this stage to ensure that our film is successful in attracting our target audience. Receiving feedback throughout the editing stage is effective as it means we can improve as we go along, instead of having a lot to improve when we receive final feedback.



Feedback from our teachers:
Overall our film received good feedback our shots were steady and well framed. The mise-en-scene was well selected and suits the piece and the editing was good and made sense to the audience. To improve our opening we need to add a soundtrack to our piece, work on our titles and complete our institutional logo.

Feedback from our target audience:
We previewed our film to a group of teenagers aged 15 and above (both male and female). The feedback we received was all very positive. They clearly understood it was from the romantic-comedy genre and could gage that the overall feel for the film was a 'chick-flick'. The did comment that sound would further improve our opening. This is something that we have already considered and plan to edit in background music.

We will now make these improvements and take on board the advice we have received before we upload our second rough cut.
