The Use Of The Rough Cut- Audience Feedback

However, everything that came from the rough cut wasn't a bad thing. When I put it together, we thought it would be a good idea to test it with our target audience- women, and see what they thought was good, what could be improved and what needs to go and what could be added. We also asked them what they got from the opening without knowing nothing about it. 

So the list of questions we asked were;

Firstly, what genre is our opening and how do you know?

What do you think our film is about, and are any enigmas created?

What parts of the films do you think are good?

Do you think anything should be discarded and new parts added?
Lastly, given the chance, would you watch our film?

KATE:                                                                                            RHEA AND PAVAN:

                         

All 3 of them liked our film and understood the genre and main concept of them living different lifestyles due to the use of props, costumes and locations. They also recognised the fact that we have only included two characters, therefore there is an enigma created as whether or not they would get together. They liked that we included the differences between them but felt that too much of it was done walking and perhaps we should include their home lifestyle and more of their characteristics.

Audience feedback2

NINA:

ANDRE:

Our audience feedback we got the second time around told us that our costumes and props was highly suitable and fit with our characters highly. 

Ninas jacket is very trendy and sophisticated and many of the girls admired it. Her bag and phone also got the same response and we were told that the phone is a smart phone and it shows she is independent;

Andre is therefore more laid back and casual which the audience liked. 

Rough Cut Problems

We filmed our opening sequence, however we never used a tripod and as a consequnce of this a majority of our work came out very shaky. the camera also lost focus a few times. However, to see the flow of our film so far, we put it togeter to see if there is anything that needs to be changed/improved bar the obvious.

We also filmed without drawing up a story bored or floor plan/ shot list. Surprisingly it was actually a lot harder without it because we couldnt remember what we orringly wanted to do, however, we still put a rough cut together to find the flaws, of which there were many, in our piece. But the song seemed to fit fine, and also, I think with foley over the top it'll sound better.
