CONSTRUCTION: FEEDBACK

We decided that because we were close to the ending of our film that we should ask another student for feedback. We got a small focus group to watch our film twice through to give us their opinion on what is good and bad about our opening. The good points were:
  • The filming is successful with different camera movement.
  • The narrative is clear due to the successful editing.
  • The music went well with the filming to create suspense.
The points which she suggested we improved were:
  • Add sound effects of guns over the war photography to create a better sense of trauma.
  •  Adding in a scene with the toy doll and the little girl so at the end we know the girl is in danger as the doll is on the barbed wire.
We also got other feedback from other audiences who said good points were:

  • We had clear thriller codes in our opening which create suspense, enigma and tension
  • The editing is successful at creating a sense of anxiety.

The feedback given to improve were:
  • Decrease the brightness of the red during the park scene
  • Adding a voice over, which we were planning on adding anyway to improve the narrative and help the audience to understand better.

  1. Clearly organized material for your Prezi. Constructive approach to feedback. Articulate reflection evident.

  2. One further thought, having viewed this again, Amber. Between each frame, please add a STILL SHOT of the VISUAL FRAME referred to.
