Group Feedback

Today we watched everyones final piece, it was quite good and there was a huge amount of feedback from everyone. It felt like there was only positive feedback given to our video which is great but then also slightly dissapointing as we cannot change or add anything (if possible). That is other than the obvious of making the title sequence longer. However some of the postives were:

- Great sound track

- Good technique of tripping over the tree root

- The titles or the font, espcially the "reflection title" from the killer's knife

- The main favourite is the jump cut scene of the killer approaching the victim, which was a great idea put forward

Final Cut Review

  • All in all i think our final cut went to plan, even though it became quite stressful nearer the deadline date.
  • The final result looks better than i expected, the music fits in well with the scenes and therefore increase the reaction from the audience.
  • The darkend effect didnt go quite to plan, it doesnt look like night time, this is mainly because you can still see the sun streaming in a certain areas. If we want to film a night scene again it will probably be best to film it at night.
  • The variety of shot angles and types looks really good and makes the sequence a lot more interesting, so im happy we added them all in.
  • We decided to keep the font simple so as not to make it look to 'tacky'. I think this was a good idea because now the attention is not drawn away from the shot to the font.
  • I like the way the titles give the effect of flikering, by fading in and out, i think this looks very effective. The way the sequence ends with the killer bending over and then fading into the title also looks impressive because we didnt have to edit it much.
  • If i could re-do anything, it would be how much we filmed. Our final piece was very short which gives us less chances to gain points. If we had filmed more we coulf of added more of a story line which would of looked better.
