the exchange

Peoples initial ideas is that they loved the location that we used. It was one of the main praises we got for the whole video.

For the cinematography they liked how we used our tilts and our over exposure. But somone suggested that we use more close ups to provide the audience with a sense of emotion of our charecter, which was a very good point and we would keep in mind for our next filming, which will be our contemporary noir opening.

They liked how we had edited our music so each individual charecter had their own tune in the short film. But they suggested our editing could have been a lot tighter with some of the cuts. Plus they believed we could have put in more noir stylistics. E.g. dutch tilts and other askwed angles. Which if we would have more time we would have slotted in to give it the noir feel, but it was a very tight shooting session with getting to the location etc, thus we didn't have time to get in all the shots and angles in we wanted to. So we went for what we could do in time, but still trying as hard as possible to make it look as good as possible.

They believed our narrative was easy to understand, and commented especially on our use of eerie stylistics. E.g. shadows and Silhouettes. But the only downside to this was they said some of our filming didn't have the correct focus to it. Especially the scene with the pan up of kira [me] as it seemed too over exposed when the pan stopped at the top.

They liked how the antagonist had a shady look and that you never saw his face. The protagonist was equally as shady, but you could tell he was doing it all for the femme fatale, like he was out of his elements. The femme fatale had the red dress to show danger and seduction.

They thought our fade away at the end took away momentum and the camera zoom was also a bit unstable. Which is understandable, it wasn't the best ending to the exhange. But we would have planned to take away a few of the shots at the end, but needed them in there as there was a standard amount of shots we needed in the small film.

All in all it was suitable for our target audience.
