Feedback from throughout
my A2 media production tasks
- Feedback was provided by
different groups
- During Post Production
- Focus Group Feedback- Our choice
of music was effective as it bought
tension to the scenes which required
it and the pace of the music
matched that of the film itself. I
learnt that my choices of music
matches the scenes well enough to
evoke a connection between the
character of Thomas and the
audience.
- Target Audience Feedback-
When editing, I was told that
using sound layering was
effective in bringing about a
connection to the character. The
white noise sound effect kept up
the mystery genre especially.
- Editor Feedback - Changes needed to
be made to the positions of
characters, especially in the kitchen
scene as the height difference of the
actors made the shot look uneven and
a lack on flow occurred between shots.
- Target Audience Feedback - When
watching the film, it was suggested we
make a lot of changes to the audio of
the film, as there was continuous jumps
and cut between shots in terms of the
audio. It was suggested that I use
transitions to blend the audio together.
- Film Poster
- Target Audience Feedback - Most people
knew the genre was a mystery or a drama
film. They recognised the photo on the
poster from the location at the end of the
film. Learnt that branding in my production
tasks was effective.
- Branding Expert Feedback - After talking to a contact who
works in the branding industry, I found that having a strong
brand and look in all elements of my project would 'allow
them to be instantly recognisable'.
- Teacher Feedback -
Learnt to choose an
image which made the
plot and genre of the
film clearer. Also to
attach a brand to my
project. An image which
was similar throughout
[the final scene
location] was
identifiable to the
audience.
- During Production
- Teacher and Target Audience Feedback - As
my group went through our footage,
feedback we received from our teacher and
our target audience told us that we required
multiple re-shoots of most of our scenes
after our original shoot. This was either
because of lighting, camera shot and angle
and meant that we had to organise our group
to get quick re-shooting done and to the best
we could. We fixed a few of our shots by
adding match-on-action to the scene as this
meant we could add more shots to our film.
- Here is an image to show the comparison
in our re-shooting, as learnt by feedback.
The left image is the first shot we did. The
right is the re-shoot in which we make
Thomas' character the main feature, whilst
the female characters where clearly not the
main characters. * [Image is on Blog]
- Online Feedback - When developing the
idea of the film I used the website
'LogLine.it' to gain feedback from our
original log line and how I could develop
the story.
- Scriptwriter Feedback - A a group we used the opportunity
of talking to a professional scriptwriter [Dudi Appleton] who
told us about how we needed to make sure the plot of out
film was set in stone and to change things about how the
plot is revealed to the audience. From this we learnt we
needed to show the audience important plot points at the
start of the film: The stolen phone in the first show and the
use of the word 'thief' in the second scene.
- Teacher Feedback - When looking through our
footage, we also found that there were some
continuity editing breaks, as we broke the 180
degree rule and 30 degree rule a few times.
During re-shoots we repeated shots to keep
within the 180 degree rule.
- Film Magazine Spread
- Target Audience Feedback - The layout of
the magazine looked professional and
added to the look of the film. Make it
appear less like a student film.
