Its strange because when it is just yourselves watching and editing your footage you get it to a level that you think is okay. But then you watch it in the presence of another, someone external to the creative process and you can view the piece completely differently. The feedback we got was really useful and some of the points seemed glaringly obvious when pointed out by someone else.
Main points for final cut;
- It is far far too slow, must drastically pick up pace. Its better to have a shorter, better film than one that is obviously padded out and isn't at all good.
- The cuts need to be more considered
- There is a lack of context. A way to overcome this would be to film in a living room and zoom in on the TV.
- Would be nice to include some nature shots, which could also pad it out.
So, looks like we are going to have to shoot some more footage. I think the point about context is really key.. our film so far jumps straight into it, so as a member of the audience you don't have a clue what is going on. Going to have to think of a good way of doing this. Not sure about filming in a living room as we'd have to use a dorm living room where light is rubbish and it looks like a prison cell. ...
