Class Feedback

On Wednesday, we showed a draft of our film opening to our whole media class in order to receive feedback. We got a lot of positive feedback but also, received a bit of criticism. For example, in the flashback cuts to my character; you could slightly hear me speak - something that we couldn't hear on the MAC. We were told to adjust the title placement so that it wasn't right at the beginning and to make the police sirens more realistic.

As a result, we layered a couple more different police siren noises onto the original sound to make it seem like there were more than one car chasing her. We ensured to completely mute the video sound of me talking and moved the title onto a different establishing shot that was a couple more seconds into the opening.

Doing this class feedback was really helpful because they gave us a new perspective on our opening and enabled us to see errors that we had failed to see ourselves. We were also enabled to get feedback from a vast amount of people, consequently identifying more corrections ergo ensuring we get the best quality opening possible.
