First Cut Feedback

The positive feedback we received from other groups was encouraging as it highlighted the good points from our footage.
One of the comments that was made was that there was a good mood and atmosphere in the video which is good because that was an objective to create an interesting mood for the audience. *
Another comment that was given is that the camcorder filter was effective and looked very realistic and worked well with scenes that had the shrine in with close up shots of the images.
The fade between the shots that was varied a lot is viewed as being effective by most of the other groups as the transitions the scenes from one scene to another scene often from a romantic scene to a thriller scene in the case of our video. The mis-en-scene in the footage was also prised for its interesting setting, make up and costumes.
The negative feedback we got was great as it showed the problems with our footage so we can improve the work and make it the best we can.


The main negative that we got was that there was no sound in the footage this was due to the fact that we are working on the sound and it was not complete enough use with the footage. Another prominent problem we had was that the dark scenes were way too dark. To fix this problem we are going to edit the footage and increase the brightness of the video in parts.
An interesting bit of feedback that we got was that the close up shot of the candle being blown out could be moved to a different area in the footage to be more symbolic and significant. We agreed with this advice we will put the candle being blown out at the end of the video. The final piece of advice we received was that the flashbacks were not clear enough however there were multiple factors that made the flashbacks seem confusing. One of those factors was that there was no sound so they could not understand the context of the clips and the flashes were not distinguished between the transition fades.
We believe that if we add sound and slow down the flash transition then this should help the audiences though the video.

Reflection Pyromid

1)One word that Sums up filming process.
Interesting
2)Two most pleasing shots.
The Bench scene and the shrine scene.
3)Three things that went well.
The costume worked quite well and we got all the filming done very quickly and the scenes work
well together.
4)Four things that didn't go well
The Weather, missing the mini tripod, camera movement (tracking) and communication.
5)Five things you would do(well) again.
Long shots, camera director (camera men), the hours of filming, the acting and the actors.
6)Six words that would do differently.
Bring the equipment, different style, atmosphere, more actors, different filming areas, organisation
7)Things you need to do now to get the best product
add effects to the footage, increase the lighting, add sounds, redo some shots, changing the order of the footage, work on the ident, add music.


8)Eight things you have learnt about the whole process so far including research and planning.
its very complicated, requires a lot of work to make the final product to look good, good organisation is needed, researched different camera techniques, how to use editing software, what kind of music that fits the genre, the important of mise-en-scene, learning what an idnet is.
