Feedback of final film...

I've showed our film opening to friends and family and it has been extremely positive, and has evoked some really amazing feedback.
The main points which people commented positively on:

• The main actor-very realistic and scary
• the music at the opening
• the montage at the end
• the shot of the keyboard-very creative angle
• the seamless editing
• Titles look very realistic!! (this one was mentioned a lot)

Some things that people picked up on were:

• Could have shown the murderer later on for suspense, or not shown him at all
• lighting-too distinctly different

Other than that everyone has really liked and all of the people I asked said they would like to see the rest of the film. Also my younger brother said it was scary and he kept asking questions like 'what is he going to do..?' and I don't think he would want to watch the rest of the film BUT- this is a good thing as it shows we have targeted our audience well because we didn't aim to make a film aimed at younger children.

I am really impressed by the feedback and comments and I am really proud that the film I am showing them was created by myself and my friends.

Test Screen

We had the test screen of our final piece today and it went really well
we got lots of positive feedback which was good but also people suggested things to change.

1. turn down treble on master shot of me
2. cut music down at end-too distracting
3. quiet down sound of keys
4. needs a change of music as montage starts-change of music for change of pace-also too distracting..
5. drone too loud
6. printer quieter

All of these are easily sorted out and we will change them tomorrow. After that we will be done!!

BLK feedback

Please keep up with your Stage 1 posting Amelia - you need to show how the project is developing from your own perspective.

No evidence for this so far on this blog. Try to avoid long-ish gaps between posts.Please see the main blog posts for advice on how to proceed with your individual blog if you're not sure what you should be doing.

Your evaluation and continuity sequence link? What's going on?

Hi Amelia, no not quite right. Your matches on action come at 0.07, 1.51 and 2.12 where the action from the preceding shot is cut at exactly the right point to match up the action in the next shot. The one at 1.51 is the most obvious to look at.

The one you chose is an eyeline match (we see him look off screen, followed by a shot of what he is looking at from his eyeline)which connects the 2 shots and encourages the audience to get involved from his pov.

Excellent analysis and reflections on your horror shot - super work Amelia!

Great choice of film clip and such a high standard of analysis notes too.

I had to change your text colour as I couldn't read it, you don't have to leave it like this if you want to change it again, but make sure its really clear and readable!

Your blog is great, it contains all the necessary features so far and your research is really coming on, well done.

Not quite in time but you're lucky I had a break in my marking! Your notes definitely cover the technical codes and you discuss possible meanings and effects - you get better as you get into it so by shot 6 you're being more detailed. Try and be like this all the time - try to think of the effects of everything you describe. Love the pink blog!
