Feedback

We showed our first version of our film opening to fellow Media students, studying at either AS or A2 level. This helped, as they all knew what to look for and to comment on, making constructive criticism. The feedback we got back was:

• Fill the silence/add more sound
• Lack of understanding
• Quickening the pace
• Red and white text did not work

In response to this we made careful changes:

• We added some heavy breathing over the beginning and ending of the film to ensure there was no awkward silence
• We overlapped sound between the clips to make a more smooth and flawless transition, making it seem more authentic
• We changed the font colour so that it is all just white, which we felt works with our film opening

We also altered some of the shot sequences to tell the audience that our protagonist has just left home, and is now returning to fulfil his motive. We added our only dialogue, "Did you forget something?" in order to help the audience understand that he has left his home and has returned, also defining why, at the crossroads, he turns back around with his decision.
