screening feedback

A few points made from the screening feedback:

People thought generally our video was to a good standard and fitted our teen target audience well. They liked our jerky jump cuts for our flashbacks. And our normal tripod shots for reality. They liked this because it established a difference between the flashbacks and reality.

They liked how we used point of view shots to show bens perspective on the night when it came to the flashbacks. They also liked how our scene ended with a cliff hanger. You didn't know what to expect next. Which is what film openings intensions are. To keep the audience that are watching wanting more.

They liked how we used close ups for emotion. The one of kira on the bed dead and the one of ben when he sits on the side of the bed thinking before the flashbacks. They liked how it portrayed the emotion.

The bad points they mentioned were mainly to do with our titles. They didn't think our titles and opening music suited the kind of film we had made. Which we then took in to account and changed. Our first opening titles were very bright and polished with a optimistic tune accompying it. Which we then changed to a bleaker look with a less cheery song as we wanted to set the correct tone to the piece that matched our opening.

They thought the music used in our piece was very effective for a very contemporary seedy piece of sequence. And the editing, especially the pacing at the start and the flashbacks, were brilliantly put together.

They also mentioned how they wouldn't be too sure if kira was actually dead or not. That we should of had a shot of Ben feeling her pulse or something of that description to clarify she was dead.

We took into account what they said and changed some things around to make it more appealing to our audience.
