Rough Cut Feedback

After watching our piece on the big screen, a number of classmates have given feedback. Some of the comments are listed below which we will take advice from and take into account.

"i think it was great, it was really similar to a film of that genre. i think there were some interesting shots like on the stairs and the cake."

"Lots of positives in your work girls. Really liked the voiceover, it worked really well with the film itself and the storyline instantly captures the interest of the audience. Also really liked the way you used the pieces of paper for the titles. It was very imaginative and again fitted in well with the rest of the film. Great work!"

"Thought it was pretty good. I think you may have dwelled on the cake a bit too long though?"

"Your opening sequence was really effective, it was able to gain the viewers attention without showing much of the story. I think the narration worked really well with what you were trying to achieve as it told you about the character, giving you the feeling that you know her for the rest of the film. I also like how you have been able to incorporate you tiles with the idea of the diary. Its really good."

"The initial idea and characters and the way in which it was filmed all fitted perfectly to the genre wanted. There were many excellent shots, and i very much liked the dialog over the top of the footage. The bright colours, music and house environment all added to the well represented mise en scene.The idea of the diary as the credits was very creative, and overall I really thought it was excellent!"

"the music went well with the shots and i liked the idea of having the diary as the title bit for the main film. but the american accent is annoying"

"really liked your film. just a bit of constructive criticism: the commentary was ok but at the end there was a long stretch with just the background music, which didn't sound quite right. but overall it was good, i liked the use of the phone and the variety of shots around the table, well done :)"

"I really liked the use of music - it really gave the intro atmosphere. Writing in the diary also worked well. One technical criticism is that i think a size 8 is quite big in America? Jp"

"I think the opening was really well done, it felt really homely and the music really complimented the feel of the opening. I liked the use of slow mo over the shot of the table as this introduces the characters well and paired with the voiceover means you can get the know the main character and her life in detail. Love it!"

"wicked girls, voiceover really added character to it!cant wait to see the finished product :) xx"
