Rough Cut Feedback

Questionnaire Feedback

When collecting feedback, like with my animatic, I created a questionnaire for people within the target audience to fill in, however, this time I made the questions a lot more open so that the people filling it in had to give more specific detailed and were not influenced by what suggestions were already on the sheet. Below I have embedded all of the filled in questionnaires using slide share.

  

Teacher Feedback

•holding a shot steady, where appropriate; POVs are jarred for effect and purpose. This area is affected by the limitted number of shot types. Basic/proficient

• framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate; Components of the mis en scene are framed well on the desk. Once again, this areas is limitted, for the the number of shot types is minimal Basic/proficient

• using a variety of shot distances as appropriate; Very limitted, A number of POV shots. Close ups are not used to develop reveal the emotions of the character and to reveal the atmosphere of the narrative. Basic/Incomplete

• shooting material appropriate to the task set; Narrative is appropriate. Proficient

• selecting mise-en-scène including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting; The setting is good and costume is used for effect and purpose. However, the lighting is below average (this is imparied by the graininess of the video) Basic/Proficient

• editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer; Continuty editing is used. However, the creative use of editing is not done. The pace is slow. The audeince is waiting for something to happen. Basic

• using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set; Some very good wipes used to blend the two settings. The camera freeze frame was nice. However, this not done enough. Thus, is it done for effect and purpose? Basic/proficient

• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set; The use of the non diegetic sound is blended well. However, the use of natural sound or lack of sound is either minimal or non existant. Basic.

• using titles appropriately. Titles are not used appropraitely. Title sequences must include a number of ‘titles’ and the people envolved. This component has not been successfully understood. The end title of the film is very good. The other titles (only a couple), however are not creatively done and do not work together with the manin title (the continuity of these titles is off).

Summative Comment

This is a basic video that lacks the creative use of camera shots for effect and purpose, diegetic sound, effects and titles for effect and purpose. Pace must be developed. However, the elements of a thriller are apparent.
