Draft and Feedback

Rose Draft

The video above shows our draft video for our film opening. We showed this draft to our class of 25 students of which roughly around half of them were 16 year old females which fit within are target audience, therefore it was a good demographic to show. After watching the film opening we asked them for feedback on areas of improvement and what worked well, these were the results:
 

Positive feedback

-The fast pace of the beginning when Rose was waking up.

- The way that the titles fit into the background with varied size.

- Our creative shots such as the shots within the cup of tea.

 

Negative feedback

-Last part of Rose sitting down did not add any value to our film.

-Having all white titles was a weak area as it added no meaning to each title.
- We were told that our music transitions didn't blend as well as they could have.
 

This feedback was crucial for the production of our final product because it allowed us to see exactly what our target audience like and dislike. Editing on the film yourselves on the editing software also makes you become very familiar with the film you are producing which meant we often did not notice the downfalls of our film that an audience were able to identify. After receiving the feedback we went back and adapted our film and upon reflection it added great value to our film opening that we wouldn't have had without showing a draft to an audience, therefore the process was very valuable.
