DO'B/JB/EH: Rough Cut Audience Feedback 18/01/2016

We showed the class our rough cut excluding the titles and sound, 3 shots were colour graded and the remainder untouched, the cut was complete however.

After watching our opening, the class gave us the following feedback:

Strengths:
-Non-verbal language is sinister
-Wide range of camera angles
-Good locations
-Excellent movement of camera
-Tracking shots
-POV of product with GoPro was effective
-Struggle and performance of actors was good
-Clear interaction between characters, meaning clearly created
-Range of shots and frames
-Continuity editing makes sense
-Well integrated '4' sign

To improve:
-Sound effects would make the surreal premonition clearer, with sound cutting out to create tension and editing to make it clearer, such as a different colour grade
-'Could place titles, shot-reverse-shot with her looking at the products and then show the price tags'

We plan to act on the first of the improvements but are unsure of the effectiveness of the second. However we plan to try the titles intercut to gauge whether or not it adds to or takes away from the scene.
