Reviews and Feedback

Recently in class our coursework piece was displayed to the class and we were given some feedback on how our opening is looking so far. Even though he have not finished editing and included essential parts like the music we still managed to fit the clips into the right order. This helps as the people reviewing can give us critical analysis on what we need to improve upon so that we can progress and move forward with our project.

Positives:

1. We tried very hard to make our camera smooth and professional and the feedback we gained was successful. For example; the zoom into our protagonists eyes looked very good as it was very nicely done. 
2. The diagetic sound that we have originally had fitted the scene very well and is appropriate to the mood and atmosphere within the scene.
3. The fast shots of our protagonists created tension and suspense which is good for us to know as this is what we wanted to try and display.
4. At first, me and my group were unsure on what non diagetic sound to include in the first part of the title sequence. We quickly chose a piece of music, knowing we would most likely change it. However, when the class received it we got told it fitted the atmosphere and created a relevant tone. 

Negatives: How to improve?

1. Problems that we are currently facing with camera work - we used a pan to follow our protagonists whilst she walks from the window to the desk and it is slightly too fast. Therefore, we will have to re shoot or replace it with other footage we have filmed. 
2. Also, we used a continuous tilt which tilted down then up. However, when it tilted down it was not very professional as the moving of the camera was not smooth enough. We are going to edit this thoroughly to make it look smother.

Overall, I am content with the progress me and my group are currently making. I feel that we are in line with the deadlines. Even though we are doing well at the moment we still need to carry on working hard to make sure our project is up to high standards. Also, receiving critical feedback has helped me personally and my group also as it helps move the project forward.
