To make our final cut more professional we asked a range of audience members, varying from media students to people in other professions to analyse our work telling us three positives and three negatives. The media students offered us terminology based feedback but the un-media-educated viewers offered us feedback from a more believable audience.
Rough Cut Trailer
Below are the positives:
- Good range and use of camera shots showing we have a good understanding of camera techniques
-The audience enjoyed the variety of storylines shown; capturing both their attention and imagination
-The piece is informative with a wide list of enigma coded information
-The camera angels in the car look professional shot
-Like the different settings of the piece
-Love the baby scene, with Jennifer Ward. The way character met in one shot through walking and driving then go separate directions looked impressive and professional
-Like the last shot, of Rachel Manning’s reveal
-The costumes look good, you can tell through them each characters career
-The locations are good
-The storyline/narrative is good and well presented
Below are the negatives:
-The voice over at the end advertising the soap opera needs to be louder
-Not 100% sure about the meaning behind the storyline. However, they have ideas and are guessing which I believe is good as it will keep them interested
-Unrealistic sound effects
-The music is annoyingly frustrating
-The titles need to be more interesting
