Audience Feedback..

We showed our rough cut to the class and I also showed it to a few people at home. most of the feedback estimated a level 3 for my work with the occasional level 4. I was pretty pleased with that overall. Some of the feedback varied from.. 'made me want to know what the rest of the film was about... good use of narration... professional and well edited... establish too much of the film in two minutes... music worked well... too much background noise in cafe scene... felt empathy towards character... varied shots... too dark in the cafe scene... scene in cafe doesn't fit... good range of characters age... good transitions... not too much is given away... emotive narration. Overall I was pleased with the feedback, but because of the negative feedback about the cafe scene and what I felt was the weaker acting during the film I decided to cut it out, plus when I had added my end credits it would have overun the two minutes and I wanted more time to work with, so it was cut out and I pushed it all together. I felt it ran a lot smoother without. I exported two versions, one with the cafe scene in and one without and took them home to show people we all agreed that it looked better without the cafe scene. After the feedback I felt much more confident and positive towards my finished piece.
