Feedback on Rough Cut

Today we screened our rough cut to the rest of the class and received feedback on what is good and bad about it, and how it can be improved. 

Generally people thought that the titles, mise en scene and camera work were good, and worked with the conventions we were displaying. Obviously there is still a lack of a soundtrack, which people could not comment on, but people did like the voice over we had. 

Points that people touched upon were that the trailer is still too slow for the crime/gang genre we have chosen, and needs to build pace. This can be achieved in our final edit with more montage editing and more shorter shots. It was also thought that our teaser trailer is too much like a sequence. This is something we must avoid in our final cut. We can do this if we film a wider variety of shots in some new locations. This will help to split up the clips, and therefore make it look more like a teaser trailer. A soundtrack will also be nece
ssary for the final cut.

Below is a chart to show the feedback of our rough cut trailer: 

Here, you can see that the mise en scene and camera work were rated excellent by most groups. this is good as it cannot be re-filmed due to short amount of time left, however factors such as editing still has plenty of time to be improved. Overall we believe that the comments are fair, and we are happy with them. Doing this has been very useful as it has given us points to work on in order to achieve a higher grade.
